That’s it, I’m moving back to Washington, where my dad used to have a Stearman. Where was this plate then?

Great Barrington trains in a J-3. Not sure if it’s flying currently.

Great thread here. I used to use a portable CO monitor but would forget to turn it on half the time. I’m absolutely LOVING the Lightspeed Delta Zulu headset which records the CO levels that I can look at after the flight to see any trends.

While in formation, it’s a good idea to run rich for that period if you’re having to maneuver in place. If you’re lead, then lean as normal.

They appear to have better visibility than Foggles.

Not really. He’s saying once the music stops, if you’re in any seat and not out on furlough, it can be a great gig.

Jeez, were you in my new hire class? The exact same thing happened to me.

I think you can only deduct up to $10,000 of those property taxes now. For me, the standard deduction was $13,850. I did 27 hours of volunteer flying in 2023 but didn’t bother itemizing as I wouldn’t reach the standard deduction either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had a Flight Design CTsw and loved it. Flew from New York to Seattle and back. The return flight took 2 days. The autopilot made it very relaxing and fun. Fantastic range and great efficiency. Parachute was a bonus when flying at night.

Quite a bit easier than installing a gas station at home.

Steve Hinton would have been my first choice on the day they came up with the award. Impressive gentleman.

Dang, I thought this was a Husky thread.

That’s me. I’m still flying, with 10 years left to go. But flying paragliders the last 10 years and now in a Husky has me satisfied and occupied. That and lurking on POA.

Mine is in the back seat had wired to a Garmin 375. Nice to have something to look at when you’re in the back.
