Separate names with a comma.
Nothing to add. I’m just here for the popcorn.
Probably works for the outfit with the A&P that says touch and goes results in shock cooling and cracked cylinders.
In my experience, San Diego has the least winds of anyplace I've flown in the country.
Depends a bit on the airplane as well as the length of runway. I generally won't do stop and goes in a Stearman, but I did them all the time in...
What is absolutely amazing about that report, is that the NTSB is essentially saying that all the abysmal ADM aside (gethomeitis, manually...
Ive heard a lot of arguments over the years on why not to do touch and goes, but I can honestly say that cylinder cracking is one Ive never heard...

When was the last time you tried to get software approved from a military application? MUCH has changed in the last few years.
Ive always flown into OKC and used Atlantic. OKC maybe class C, but not what I would call busy. And fuel right now is actually a few cents...

Very similar for me. Born in '73. First big newsworthy stuff I remember was the 1980 election followed by Reagan shooting, then Space Shuttle...
All my radial engine parts are damage trophies. In other words reminders of how a radial engine can sustain significant part failures and still...
It’s called oil dilution and most of the WWII airplanes had it, although I have not seen any today with it still installed.
I use 25W-60 in the P&W radials. When I owned my Baron, I started with a multi, but switched to a straight weight. I found that the oil...
No, she wasn’t flying American….
I have a bad feeling that’s exactly what he did. Probably thought the engine was failing because the airplane wouldn’t climb. His response to...
