    Cessna down after stalling on take off

    More likely he stepped back to look at it, spit on the ground, and hollered: “That looks about right! Hop in, let’s go!” -Skip

    RSV vaccine

    I had the RSV shot months ago, as an overweight adult male age 77 at the time. I had a reaction - just a slightly sore arm - for a day or so. So as a statistical insignificant n=1, I see no downside to getting the shot. Same with Covid shots as they became available. What “Covid debacle” are...

    What's For Dinner?

    Youngsters! When I grew up, there was no such thing as Cable TV. We had three channels with decent reception: ABC, CBS, and NBC. No color TV, either, until I was about 12. It was not that we couldn't afford it... it didn't exist yet! Oh the horror of the 1950s! -Skip

    How anti GA is the main stream media?

    Not since Hurricane Ian inundated and flattened large parts of Fort Myers Beach last year. My brother and his wife lost their home, its contents, and one of their cars. -Skip

    Hydrocephalus

    Greg, I have Hydrocephalus. It was discovered when a sinus X-ray, maybe MRI, showed a section of my brain not intended to be imaged. I called my uncle (a very prominent neurosurgeon at U Washington) and he referred me to one of his students. The result was that they measured the brain with...

    Aviation Insurance Resoures Is Rebranding as Acrisure

    Great. Let's rename "Aviation Insurance Resources, a name which gives a pretty good hint as to what it does, to Acrisure, Which completely obfuscates what the company actually does. Bah! -Skip

    When does a leaseback make sense?

    Part two: 8. The best leaseback deals are on aircraft that fly a lot of hours each month. A Cessna 172 that flies 80 hours a month will almost always make money. A Piper Arrow that flies 20 hours a month will almost always lose money. The breakeven point on most single engine airplanes is...

    When does a leaseback make sense?

    An oldie but a goodie. Part one of two: The post below was written by Jason "Whirlwind" Hegel, a colorful and somewhat notorious member POA who doesn't hang out here any more. Regardless, this advice has good information for all current and would-be owners contemplating putting his/her plane...

    Cold Start Screw up?

    I am just spitballing here, as I have no research or other hard data to back this up, but consider please that the stop/start cars have a fully lubricated, warm engine for all but the initial few starts of the automotive trip. No “drip time” for that engine. That has to minimize the wear for...
