    Ok, which one of you flew under the Mackinac bridge?

    I am not even sure he flew under it. I think it is an optical cheat. He did buzz it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stolen 172 crashed and arrest at Fullerton CA

    I always hear the key to the hanger started the plane. Heard there were like five different key patterns for the old cessnas. Probably an embellishment but I have heard they all would fit on a key ring. Plus a screwdriver might would also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    64-year-old man accidentally ejected himself from a fighter jet at 2,500 feet

    The Aviation week article really brings up some issues. Seems like they did not get his strap in his helmet, one leg on his g suit, strap him down all the way so he moved around and grabbed the first handle he saw. He was given a med check before Flight that recommended no maneuver over 3g. Due...

    337 Lands on I-75 in North GA

    United did back in the 80’s. My dad when I sent him this only asked do you think he lit the rear engine. Would not believe how many of those went down because of that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    337 Lands on I-75 in North GA

I travel that area every so often that would be a good ramp to use. Probably not that much traffic today. My dad had to put one down on 95 back in the 80s. Not...
