So first off, I like never share videos here so don't think I am trying to get views, likes, or whatnot. Just had this incredible experience last week. Only jet I have ever flown was a Citation and only formation I have ever done was when I was new and stupid or when one of you flies the wrong...

I built an outdoor kitchen with 2 propane appliances, a pizza oven and a griddle. I bought a propane splitter but it turned out it has the wrong fittings on the end of it and no regulator. BUT. it does have a splitter to go to 2 appliances and inline shutoff valves which are a must. What I...

Just drove passed this Walmart parking lot in flower mound Texas. There were six or seven of them just coming and going at all times. It was very interesting to say the least. I think very soon these things are going to be buzzing all over the sky.

I sure do owe Erick Johnston something. I was out flying and he says drop what you are doing and fly to Sulphur Springs. I do what Erik says because he never fails to deliver amazing experiences. We did an extensive brief, I hopped in and the pilot walked me through the complex workings of the...

I got to fly a truly wild aircraft today. If I understand correctly 7 Adam A500s were made (Or certified) and 3 remain flying today. This one at Dallas Exec is incredible. Powered by 2 Continental 550s which is a lot but not over the top. However, it puts you back in the seat moreso than any...

I rotated my prop by hand and noticed a clicking sound I hadn't heard before. I looked and the starter gear was still forward, engaged to the big gear. I pulled the plane out, started it and everything was normal. Flew a lap, landed and looked and it was retracted (normal). I mentioned this to...

Y'all know a lot about dogs so here is what I am seeing. I have 2 female dogs. Catahoula "Dottie" and A Transylvania Hound "Bella" Dottie is 6. Bella is 3. Day to day they get along but they certainly growl at each other from time to time and Dottie frequently will take a sock, shirt, or other...

I am thinking about signing up to volunteer this year but I am wondering if I can just volunteer for 1 day. Also wonder if I get to choose what I do. I think it would be cool to get the behind the scenes perspective and document the unsung heroes that donate their time to make the show go on...

I don't know how to professionally paint but I know how to amateur paint. I painted a pinewood derby car in cub scouts and once I read on the internet that you can mix rustoleum 50/50 with mineral spirits and use a fine roller to paint a car. I take risks so I painted this thing front to back in...

My Sierra cable is in bad shape and no longer working. I thought about tossing the headset but unscrewed the controls and realized the cables are pretty simple and just connect with this white plug. I reached out to Lightspeed and they said they no longer service the Sierras. Anyone know where...

I assume a lot of you are LLCs given that you are all wealthy pilots. A friend messaged me and said "Have you seen this?" Followed by some talk of a $500 / day fine if not filled out. I don't read, understand, or speak legalese. I would assume if there were some action needed for LLCs under the...

Just wondering if there are things you find exiting periodically but feel like they should not exit.

I am chasing a vibration issue and am looking for some input. Lycoming 540 / 3 Blade Hartzell prop I have been experiencing a vibration in my engine that tends to increase when I increase the prop pitch. I don't notice the vibration on the ground. 1. Prop out of balance? - I had the prop...

I have some screen recordings in my iPad. The first one showed up in the DCIM folder (subfolder today's date) when connected to my PC I grabbed 2 more screen captures on the iPad. I connect to my computer and go to DCIM (the only folder I seem to be able to access with my computer) and the...

Soooooo, I bought a plane a couple years ago and the insurance was high (to me), about $3,500 a year. The next year, it was lower because I had retract time and it went down to $2,400 This year, I added 200 hours, Commercial and Multi and my quote was $2,600 So I decided to shop around and lo...

My Comanche has a vast verity of screws holding the interior panels and plastics on and I want to clean it up. There is a particular screw / "washer" combination I am looking for which I see on the planes that look great and win awards. It is not the typical airplane washer that dips in...

And was driving through the neighborhood just now and saw at least three different people on my street raking and bagging up leaves to throw them away. One of my neighbors must have 15 trash bags full of leaves sitting on his sidewalk ready for the garbage man. I never have and I'm not about to...

Even if you don't, its interesting. These two are lucky, skilled, or both. It's long but worth watching. This whole thing seems scary AF.

Stumbled across this video this evening. Pretty interesting how the Mooney came to be.

Once you have tasted the Cirrus life, it can be difficult to go back to one of the biggest hurdles when flying the planes of the unwashed masses. I am talking about how for 50 years planes had plenty of ash trays but not a single damned cup holder. I don't know about y'all but I'd speculate...
