Agree 100%. Have always had good luck w Airstops

Add me to the list of not being happy with Aero Classics. I talked to Desser at OSH about my experiences and they said to keep the tires on my Warrior at around 35 PSI vs the 24 the book says. Basically, it sounded like any of the ply ratings should be above 30. We’ll see…

True - IF they’re keying both mics at the same time, which is common but not universal when there’s one controller doing both roles

At many (most?) Class D’s the tower controller can also be the ground controller/clearance delivery at unpredictable times so saying one can give the full request when the tower isn’t busy is a misnomer; unless you’re listening to Ground, you may not realize the controller is busy but you just...

My usual strategy for a trip is to start with Travelocity to get a sense of who flies the route I want. I then go to the airline site to see if it’s cheaper, and it typically is. We did a trip from Austin to Barcelona then back from Madrid to Austin. On Travelocity they showed a routing all...

If I read the OP correctly, the “good news” seems to be the individual is on an IFR flight plan when IMC and therefore communicating with ATC, making him less dangerous than if he wasn’t on an active flight plan. That doesn’t make it right - just a tad safer. That said, given that the person...

That’s the best and safest idea, I think

While I’m always extremely hesitant to fly through a restricted area without being in direct and continuous contact with ATC (typically on an IFR flight plan), the one exception for me personally has been the restricted areas around the Kennedy Space Center. In years past I’ve flown there...

I didn't "go bananas" (and saying I did is part of the problem these days). "German measles" (Rubella) is indeed a form of measles. "Hong Kong Flu" (a variant of influenza) is indeed influenza. "Wuhan flu" is not influenza. But none of those terms are used routinely by reputable scientists...

I’m gonna get a bit nerdy here. Whereas “traditional” vaccines introduced a foreign protein from a pathogen for the body’s immune system to do its thing and build a defense against, the mRNA and J&J vaccines take a different approach. They Trojan Horse in the code for a protein, for the body’s...

What’s “Wuhan flu”? This thread is about RSV with a digression into Covid but not influenza/“flu” Regarding Covid-19 response and vaccine development, remember which President implemented both.

Of course not. And it has been with humanity for a long, long time, I suspect (centuries? Millennia?) But the Covid-19 virus which caused the international response because of its demonstrated risk has mutated to a less virulent set of strains. Covid will be with humanity pretty much for as...

At this point, I think he’s closer to being right, especially depending on the demographic (I don’t see evidence yet that the vaccine is harmful and also note that the current strains of Covid would not have triggered the international reaction the original Covid-19 did). But I still don’t...

I’d say a ton more science. mRNA vaccines are a new approach to vaccines. How is that not “more science”? How is it “less science”? “Irradiated” - did you mean “eradicated”? If so, very true for smallpox. Not so much for measles or mumps - with upticks recently due to the anti-vaxxers - the...
