if the AF-D listed in parentheses the local name of airports so cross country fuel stop people wouldn’t have to wait until after they land to hear, “you must be not from around here.” And yes, I know it isn’t called the AF-D anymore.

Looks like some flights are in my future to visit my other daughter who is moving to Northish San Diego. Never been there and will be remaining overnight.

No cracks. Removed to install Power Flow system. $800 OBO plus shipping. I’ll be out of town until Thanksgiving but I will check this and reply.

And before anyone asks - yes, I AM affiliated with this one. I've known Gator for a few years now even before he was the demo pilot. He's one of the good ones, down to Earth and always takes care of the controllers and we take care of him. Three times during his show he does a "tail slap"...

BLUF: Think about the consequences when you file. You may just force ATC’s hand to act when it wasn’t necessary. I had an incident recently when an aircraft entered the runway without authorization. Not naming names so don’t ask but it was a military aircraft. Long story short: they thought...

Finish the sentence. I know I’m getting old when absolutely nobody I work with knows what “the San Francisco treat” refers to. :rolleyes:

In this thread, post the things you've always wondered about but never knew. Of course, I'll go first. Do you remember Ford's famous quote about the model T, "You can get it in any color you want, as long as its black." The reason for this is because at the time Ford had perfected it's...

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked bourbon. Wife got it for my birthday and I'm impressed. I've read that Blanton's, which is one of my favorites, isn't going to be released until next summer. Bottles of it can still be had for around $200 but that's just ridiculous and around a 400% markup from...

I'm thinking about it and would like to hear other owner's comments about it. Pros: Don't have to take the prop off anymore to remove the nose bowl. Would be able to run the engine on the ground with the cowling off like a lot of other aircraft. Cons: How often do I take the nose bowl off? I...

I just want to let everyone know that I will forever be a fan of this company. I have three installed EI monitors/gauges in my airplane and have the fourth in my hangar but not yet installed. The latest one is what put them over the top as far as customer service is concerned. @Dave Arata...

Who uses LifeLock or other (please advise) fraud protection services? I just got yet another notice that someone used my social and name to apply for a credit card. What raised the red flag was that they used my last name in place of my mother's maiden name which prompted them to send the...

We will have a fly-in brunch at Susie's Skyway Restaurant in Prescott AZ (KPRC). Arrivals starting around 10 AM. Transient parking is at Legends Aviation on the SW side of the field. A shuttle to Susie's is available. Fuel is available both there at the FBO from the truck and for a reduced price...

Just about to order one. For those who have and have filled out the form and sent the other required docs - how did you give them the engine and airframe times as there isn’t a block to add them? This instrument will replace the tach with it’s recorded value.

A recent email exchange between me and the source of an unobtainium part for my airplane. Nicole at (company name redacted) Thank you for your order! I want to discuss available shelf life on (hard to find grommet) We have a shelf life as follows. 51% We are unable to bring in fresh...

I’m going to replace all the hoses and rebuild all 5 master cylinders. Only hoses I’m not replacing are the ones from the hard line to the calipers as they are only a couple years old. My question is, what do you A&Ps use to clean out all the old 5606 prior to disassembly if anything?

No experience required. Needed to respond to C-130 aircraft on the radio while rated controller gets a break. Stunt controller must be willing to treat C-130 pilots like they are the only aircraft in the air. Must be willing to move heaven and earth in order to allow them opposite direction...

Just wondering from the newest A&Ps here what the FSDO was looking for in your log book entries. A friend of mine who was knighted last year with his A&P cert said that the examiner wanted more tail numbers. Okay got it. I'm wondering how detailed the entry must be; for example if I changed...

I was watching an episode on nuts. I love pistachios and can remember when they used to be dyed red or pink (cue the Naked Gun stakeout scene) and had always wondered why. Now I know. Most of them used to be imported from the middle East, namely Iran and they would let them fall off the tree...

Tucson (KTUS) to Rocky Mountain Metro (KBJC) Never been there, just in the preliminary stage of planning it out. Cherokee 140 and 1 planned fuel stop along the way. Not the most experienced pilot so I'm asking you guys with multiple log books, or big brains how would you fly it VFR and when...

I've been a boxer guy ever since I started buying my own clothes. Not a shill for the company however I love their commercials. I never tried Duluth Trading Co. stuff until a friend of mine told me they were great. Normally they run about $22 but sale prices are around $15 which was what I was...
