Update on the movie: It should be available for streaming mid-next month (and, given it's not an avionics project, I actually trust that date!) Here's the latest trailer:

I replaced a bunch of interior lights with LEDs recently. If you can get a parts manual for your plane, it will tell you which bulbs are supposed to be there. Or you can just remove the bulbs and look at them to see. Then go to this website and find suitable replacements, or email them for help...

Gliders are generally hard to fly without support from a club. Powered aircraft are easy to just buy and fly without needing to socialize at all. Military pilots are probably able to do some paperwork and fly single engine GA without much additional training. But other than the U-2 powered...

Ruddervators look fine. The rest will buff out.

Littering and…? 8) I’m sure your ticket was gone within 15 years. Probably a little less. (Missing volcano emoji here.)

Your post quoted in this subthread was mostly about EAA members taking 15-20% of hangar space and not completing their kits for years. Then you said you were not addressing experimental aircraft. What percentage of hangar space do you think is occupied by unairworthy certified aircraft?

USAF has entered the chat…

Reporting from North Dakota. Spring is a season of change. I was dodging ice at 5000 on Monday night and turbulence at 11500 on Thursday early afternoon. I’m presently on the deck in a T-shirt and my dog is hiding in the shade but we have snow in the forecast next week. Our wind speed in knots...

The last time I called for a pop-up clearance was in Arizona, east of Flagstaff in January. There is some luck involved.

Insurance premiums would indeed be much lower if they denied every claim without recourse.

Bad news. Perfect attitude. Sorry to hear the former, and unsurprised to see the latter. I hope you can get into the air a lot more, but if not I think you made good use of the chance while it lasted. And that's about all any of us can hope to do on this rock.

BBQ and fly-ins?

For me, the fun faded rapidly when I started to do it for a living.

I'll be 62 the next time there is a total eclipse over my house. The mean age reported by tombstones in my line is 65. That's what ultimately pushed me to go the extra mile (or two) to see this one. I can hope for the longevity shown in other branches of the family but didn't want to rely solely...

I missed my chance to see the 2017 eclipse. The totality centerline was within 400 nm of my home, so it was kind of dumb not to make the minimal effort it would have taken. I thought for sure I'd miss the chance to see this one, too, and have to wait 20 years for the next eclipse to come to me...

I think they go by “Your Heavenly Father.”

We are making our way home tomorrow. I’m planning to fly toward the line and see if any Arkansas airports along it seem to have clear skies and space to land. If none do, we can stay in the air during totality and land on the other side of the band. Hope to see some of you, in the air or on the...

Are you saying that there is a sovereign citizens solidarity movement? Is that like a dress code at the nonconformist club?

On it…

Many of you are probably asking yourselves, “Is that how the legal system works?” The answer is, of course, yes. This is exactly how it works. When you have a deadline to file something that explains to the judge and to the other side of the case what the law and the evidence mean, it’s...
