I missed this news item earlier this week, and didn't find another thread about it when I did a keyword search. Apologies if someone else already posted it. Interesting development on the carbon reduction front, with wider ranging implications in western Europe and elsewhere. Interestingly...

The Aztec has a GNS 530W and 430 (non-WAAS) in the panel. These are the only Big 'G' devices I have. I am about to embark on a further Garminization of the plane. Specifically the plan is: a GTX-345 transponder for ADS-B In/Out (to replace the venerable King KT76A); dual GI-275s in the ADI...

Been a month since he last posted. Is he in his basement studio obsessing over another See-lean Dee-on cover recording? Or headed out in the 182 looking for the perfect BBQ? Shopping for a designer COVID mask? Anybody heard anything from him lately?

Well, you just knew we would eventually get to this point. So, is there only the one choice? Or are there some others out there we have never heard of that were developed? Anybody got experience with single engine flying subs versus multi-engine versions? Is there such a thing as Vmc for a...

I've got quite a few passenger hours in BA's 747s flying back and forth between LHR and Bahrain, and LHR and Cairo last decade. They would fly first generation B777s on the routes in the winter and step them up to the 747-400s for the higher traffic summer season. The upper deck Business...

Warning: Rant (but already resigned as unlikely to meet Sac Arrow standards for such) I haven't flown American in quite a long time. Might be quite a long time before I try again. Strikes me flying AA regularly might lead to the eventual need to engage with that other AA. Qualifier: This...

Peter Fonda Dead at 79 After Respiratory Failure from Lung Cancer https://people.com/movies/peter-fonda-dead-at-79/

From conversion to a private executive jet, to hub-and-spoke short haul service, the inhabitants of this part of the world keep coming up with new and unique ways to use the largest of commercial jets. :eek...

Notable in part due to one of the passengers. The Epic is a very fast airplane. Not sure if this is the first fatal accident in this type? https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=223635

Did a search but didn't see that anyone else had posted about this. First flight on March 21. https://www.boeing.com/defense/future-vertical-lift/index.page https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products/sb1-defiant-technology-demonstrator.html

Anybody heard of this thing before? Looks like a twin-engined SX-300 on growth hormones from Monsanto. Interesting N-number. A more interesting question is how much range does it have - those itty bitty skinny wings don't look like they hold much fuel to feed those two monsters. :eek: Six...

Turning into a weekend we all might prefer never happened given the news coming in from the aviation world, both ours here and the one out there. Veteran airshow hang glider performer Dan Buchanan died yesterday during a performance at the Gunfighter Skies airshow at Mountain Air Force Base in...

Talk about a "Cool" place to fly. Wood, fabric, unpressurized, and no AOA :eek: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/first-flight-over-everest On 3 April 1933, two aircraft, a Houston-Westland and a Westland-Wallace - both open cockpit bi-planes fitted with Bristol Pegasus SIII...

The Cirrus electric car thread, with a post about "real" airplanes having gear that gets sucked up, got me thinking about all the yabbering that's gone on about the death of light piston twins and such. So I had a browse through the GAMA 2016 stats. What with Cirrus, TTx, Diamond, etc. welding...

This may sound a dumb question to anyone who might know the answer...but I am curious. I was inbound to Hays, Kansas from the west on the I-70 last night about 10 pm local (don't ask the obvious pilot question :( ). Just north of the interstate immediately west of the town is a large array of...

Trying to find out if there is an STC to retrofit the baggage door on to a 1953 Cessna 180? Background: Have been assessing different single engine taildraggers for about six months, including upgraded 170Bs, etc. Preference is a 180 and found a nice, well maintained example at a fair asking...

On another thread MotoFlier indicated he would be interested if I might post the actual operating cost data for my twin, in a similar fashion to Eggman's earlier thread about his 310 cost data. I am new to this forum so not sure if there is already another thread where this should have been...
