You’re not emotionally ready to marry. Getting advice from Facebook sort of site for a major life decision isn’t a mature choice. Get some actual conversations with people, your career choice is a different category than a partner choice.

Another plane that should have done better is the Glasair Merlin that was sold off to China and disappeared from the market.

Looking at the field, I suspect the styling didn’t grab the emotions and all the very real rational reasons couldn’t overcome that easily. I can’t figure out why flight schools don’t have a couple for people to build time on. Reminds me of the 1970’s Bellanca 7ACA cheap Champ. 5K inquiries...

Then again, there was that fish strike at Juneau.

Having money to burn for a thrill and intelligence aren’t always the same. There are a lot of NTSB reports to that affect.

Given how much of social media goes to the dark side of opinions in everything, it was a good show and we are all lucky to have anything approaching this level of detail in our culture. If you want something to compare it, think “Pearl Harbor” recently. Or just how lucky it was to reach...

Retirement means you are closer to that age 70 insurance cliff.

I would assume that they were task saturated and so lifting of the nose and such was not a normal situation to encounter, could be totally focused on trying to line up the plane and highway, avoiding wires, houses and cars, it was an impossible situation and time, distance and altitude just ran...

Hard to say, cable needing replacement or lube is the cheapest first step. One can lead to the other.

You’re going to get more folks at $25 a year plus a lot less hassle than billing per month. An add on to Google Earth isn’t going to be seen as something that is more than pocket change.

Piper listened to marketing rather than aerodynamics with that T-tail. Yes, prototype was made in August of 1973 with a O200 and conventional tail. I have never seen a photo of the mule in print.

Yes it's a problem with chrome or removal of TC finish, usually with polished props.

I read them all too, one was around my instructor’s flight school. One instructor had to have both of them lean all the way forward to recover in another. It was more than the fact it spun like a plane should, it was that a standard recovery didn’t always meet TC standards. Hence, Sweden’s...

Built better than a Skipper? The wing design was modified from the original engineering drawings on the line and so it deformed in a spin, due to the rib spacing. From an article at the time: "The manufacturing part had to do with changes that Piper had made, not to the design but to the...

I still wonder, other comments here to the contrary, if the door was being no longer sealed properly, which lead to the pressurization issues that were noted before the failure of the plug. It just seems too obvious that this plane had more than one issue noted beforehand with keeping...

Doesn’t anyone do a search for previous and many discussions on this very subject?

KIRO 7 Seattle reports 5 people still critical. Contractor has had 4 violations over the past 5 years for failure to provide safety protections.

What a journey for that team!

And the merger with McDonald-Douglas sinks to an even lower low. The Boeing was the final hands on the door before delivery was an above the fold headline in today’s Seattle Times. Then the aftermarket Wi-Fi… better call Mr. Monk and Natalie.
