    The truth about Danny Smith aka dannytheaviator

    Guess I'm lucky to have had his father as my DPE on my PPL check ride! And to have ran into him at the Costco gas station talking about our Corvettes!

    Best performing Android tablet for Garmin Pilot

    I use the samsung S6 lite with garmin pilot and it works great, no lag. The size is perfect, I put it on my knee board just like I used to keep sectionals. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086Z2XFYP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabt1_TiwRFbEWD24WF

    Double clutching the downshift.

    I've been driving semi trucks for 18 years, 2 million + miles with mostly an 18 speed non-synchronous transmission, I have never double clutched. I don't even know how. Just float shift the thing. And coincidentally I'll be dropping a PLS truck off at Ft Irwin Monday morning.

    Use house ground for refueling?

    Fun fact, I used to deliver fuel 10,000 gallons of diesel or 12,000 gallons of gas at a time and never used a grounding wire. Millions of gallons dropped into the tanks with out a spark or a fire .

    Government Shutdown: Can we go check out Area 51?

    This is about as close as I have been to area 51, I was on a crew doing some paving. There was some nice gentleman with 50 cals that made sure we didn't go past that gate. I thought all the old nuclear blast sites where more interesting then area 51

    Backcountry replacements

    I have been toying with the idea of buying a stol weight shift trike. I have found a few that will fold up and fit in my toy hauler. I think it would be great fun to haul out the toy hauler, side by side and a trike out camping for the weekend! Trying to decide if I want to go for the 2 seat or...

    When you want a STOL plane but your too poor
