    No PPL Required for ultralights?

    Cartersville, GA (KVPC), has a fairly large group of ULs. Nothing like seeing a gaggle (their version of a formation) do a mid-field break to the downwind.

    College Football 2014

    My wife's a big UGA fan - I've been known to point out that Ole Miss differs from UGA in recruiting efforts. Ole Miss doesn't recruit from the county jail. That, as you might understand, doesn't go over very well. :D

    O-300

    I have a '63 172 with an O-300. After about 2,000 hours behind that engine, I'll repeat what everyone else says. Smooth but not overly powerful. A very reliable engine.

    Status of FAA Third Class Medical Exemption

    I sat thru the Administrator's briefing at Osh on July 31st. What a pile of crap. Excuses for everything (medical, 100LL, part 23, etc.) . A smirking politician that won't do anything until forced. It was obvious that both Pelton and Baker (EAA and AOPA) were doing nothing to push for GA...

    Beef has a much greater environmental burden...

    Hate to break everyone's heart, but beef and diary are the same. It's COWS!! Now there are some breeds of cow that are better for dairy (Jersey), but they taste good. Others (Angus) are better for use as beef, but they do give milk also. <Sigh> city folks!! </Sigh>

    How NOT to fly into Oshkosh (Audio)

    We were sitting on "Vulture's Row" on 9, with handhelds and beer, watching the heavy inbound flow when 4 French-Canadians in a Mooney came in from the East, declared low fuel and a direct to 27. It was an interesting few minutes.
