Ha, nice! OK has aviation-themed plates and I decided to go vanity with ZROAGL on mine. I tried for 0 AGL, but it was either taken or perhaps OK doesn't allow for plate numbers to begin with 0.

Howdy and welcome! SWO here.

I have the Instant Vortex air fryer and it gets almost constant use in our house. It holds about double the amount of stuff that typical air fryers do, so I can make a round of chicken nuggets and tots at the same time. Speaking of nuggets, my favorite recipe is to cut up a pound of raw chicken...

I 've never flown through smoke, but would assume that your sense of smell would be a factor. If you're flying through smoke from a grass fire, you'd likely be able to smell the difference between that and something like an electrical or engine fire pretty quickly.

Spectacular pics!

Not sure if already posted (I didn't see), but prelim report is out: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/104445/pdf

It's likely a C-172 XP (coded as R172K), not an STC. I got a high performance sign-off in one that a local flight school had.

I'd like to get more flying in and possibly find a good non-equity partnership, as getting rental time locally is an absolute hurculean effort. I'd really like to get my instrument rating. Work-wise, I'm fairly burnt out with my career of the past 22 years (independent oil & gas land...

Generally, you can land on BLM lands, but this being a "wilderness area," it appears off-limits to motorized vehicles and mechanical forms of transportation. The canonical resource for rules in any particular BLM area should be sought out from the Field Manager for said area, which you can...

Congratulations to all - what a great story!

Warning. There were a couple issued, I believe. One was when the storm was due NW of OSH and the other was when storm was due west or SW of OSH, right over Ripon.

I'm the exact opposite. This is one feature I turn off immediately in any car I drive that happens to have it. Maybe this makes me a bona-fide "road jerk," but I tend to set my cruise about 5 mph or so over the speed limit on highways. If I'm coming up on someone with my cruise set @ 75 MPH -...

I think this is always good practice to predeclare with a first-timer, especially the "power changes." I make a point to brief first-time passengers that they will hear some different noises, beeps, as well as the change in power/engine sounds as I manipulate the controls in certain phases of...

Thanks again - I'll be giving one or both of these a shot!

Thank you! I'll appreciate any starting point. My other cameras are of non-GoPro branding, so I'll have to tinker with it regardless, I presume. I also agree with you on the ambient sound; it certainly adds a little character to the video. Silence is too stark for me, so omitting the ambient...
