    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    Dirty Harry is a fictional character. From San Francisco. I don't get my culinary advice from fictional characters from ridiculous places. Have you tried James Bond's recipe for scrambled eggs? It's basically a broken hollandaise and I bet he secretly puts ketchup on it.

    Taildragger recommendations

    The reason I suggested a Stearman (which is probably not going to fit your budget, sadly) is because, to a greater extent than any other plane within reach of mortals, it has a reputation for making you a better tailwheel pilot. For someone whose goals don't include becoming a great tailwheel...

    Is that anything like Garfield Minus Garfield?

    For the OP’s mission, I vote for a Stearman

    What do you use to deice your plane

    Just don't take off with bugs and frost. Child protective services will come and take your airplane away if they catch you flying at Christmas with bugs from July still on the windshield.

    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    I'm not so worried about that. But there are occasionally forum posts from people claiming to fly for the airlines and I desperately want to know which airline so I can make a more informed choice of which airline to entrust with my life.

    What to do after a PPL?

    ND has a passport/jacket program. We have 89 public use airports and you also need to visit both air museums (KFAR and KMOT) and get signatures to show you have attended 3 FAA safety seminars. Only a couple of the airports were sketchy. As far as things you can do without wasting instruction or...

    "He was such a good pilot..."

    I’d say it took 7-11 sumps to get to pure fuel, or maybe 6.5-10.5, depending on how much the student had drawn. One hopes that the CFI in question learned from that experience.

    Same method as you use for deicing the plane? https://pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/what-do-you-use-to-deice-your-plane.145222/#post-3460758 P.S. I met my weight loss goal by changing the scale to metric. I don’t know how many pounds are in a kilometer but I’m back to my seventh grade...

    N850JH down @ KLDM 11/26/2023

    That was shortly after taking off with more people than seatbelts and ice all over the tail. This one looks a lot different than that, although there is one common denominator: Both flights were in extremely capable single-engine turboprops that can lure a pilot deep into a weather trap before...

    What do you use to deice your plane

    A few years ago, I tried to find a small electric immersion heater to use with a garden sprayer but didn’t have the best luck in that quest. They do exist for things like livestock water tanks but getting one a manageable size is where I drew a blank.

    One airframe with both single & twin-engine versions

    A Duke at takeoff and the same Duke upon landing.

    One airframe with both single & twin-engine versions

    Champ and Lancer. I think the single performs better than the twin, even with one engine inoperative.

    Help me find LiveATC archive

    Does someone who’s good with LiveATC want to lend me a hand? I’m trying to find the Minneapolis Center and/or Fargo Approach conversation with Skywest 3804 when it diverted from Minot to Minneapolis around 11:30 pm Central Time on 11/15/23 (05:30 Zulu on 11/16/23). Whatever the reason was, this...

    Strength of GA?

    GA is strong for me. My wife and I are trying to get to Hawaii today. We booked what eventually (through several schedule changes and phone calls) became a one-stop itinerary on Delta, leaving early in the morning from an airport 2 hours from our home. This involved spending almost $300 on a...
