There I was at a local fly-in just minding my own business. It was a beautiful fall day. The fly-in was at an airport that was previously known as Little Mountain Airport (6NC1) but is now called Acme Aerodrome by its new owners, though it still shows up as Little Mountain on ForeFlight...

... should be legal and even encouraged. It has been a very long time since I caught a contact buzz because I don't typically hang out with stoners anymore. If public toking was legal everywhere, I could easily get a high without actually toking myself. I think it's almost criminal that...

Interesting story from Scotland.

Story. I’m bummed I didn’t win but it’s kind of cool to see this guy win. I do wonder though at 80 and a student, what he’ll do with it. Will he keep the floats on it and get his ASES? Pull the floats and finish his PP using the tailwheel? Options abound.

Bad things will happen. But no serious injuries. Wow! Story.

Mom names her kid "Abcde" and is then surprised when someone cracks jokes? Sorry mom, you are an idiot. See story.

Getting out of hand! I usually see 15%, 18% and 20% listed. This is ridiculous.

Most on here probably have no idea who she was but she was one bad ass lady. Movie stunt woman, land speed record holder, skydiver, and a very lovely lady. She was quite well known in my youth. They even made a movie about her. She passed 9 days ago on November 2 at the age of 72. I...

I watched a couple of NFL games today for the first time this season. WTF is with these new coaches’ uniforms? They almost look like they were inspired by Army uniforms including the ugly green color and the name tags. Yuck!

I just saw it on the news. They said it was non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
