8 planes at EKU hit by theft Monday night. The story says electronics were stolen, but doesn’t go in to detail. Keep your eye open for cheap Garmin panels on EBay, folks. Same thing happened to a Tune tornado plane that was moved to Gallatin last year, after being purchased from the Insurance...

Ok, this is a weird one, and it gets weirder the more I look into it. An IAB Westwind, N790RJ, crashed on takeoff from Treasure Cay on July 5th. It had arrived 3 days earlier. Problem is, N790RJ is a current registration for a UH-1 Helicopter owned by the King’s County Sherrif’s Department in...

The circumstances of the crash are truly tragic, to be sure. The Female pilot was very experienced, and sounds like a hell of a person to have known. This post is not about that. We make memes about how the media describes these things, but here it is, in real life, from the article: “Federal...

Crash was just after 11am. Cessna Citation registered to a local Media Production Company owned by Gwen Shamblin, weight-loss instructor to the Stars, and a quasi media personality herself. Was bound for Hilton Head. Weather here is cool, gusty, and low ceilings today. Local TV 5 has a live...

Look like a good ditching, even if there are too many people too close. No injuries. Flew it all of the way to the crash. https://www.wesh.com/article/cocoa-beach-plane-water-air-show/36153004#

SnF looks to be a real blowout this year. Advance ticket sales are running 25-30% ahead of even their best year ever. Arriving Tuesday myself, looks like it going to be a fun week!!! https://www.planeandpilotmag.com/news/pilot-talk/2021/04/06/sun-n-fun-expecting-record-breaking-crowds/

Ok folks, I think this makes for a fine training video. Critique away! How two got out of this with “minor” injuries is dumbfounding.

The local stations are dooming and glooming about this weekend’s Saharan Dust Incursion. Any idea what this means for weekend planning?

Happened yesterday, the article is not very clear, but it sounds as if they got into the scud, and could not climb fast enough to avoid the mountain ahead...

Really not liking what I am seeing on Twitter about this? Get-home-itis? Trying to beat the storm? Blizzard conditions during the rescue, not sure about at takeoff. https://www.keloland.com/news/local-news/9-dead-in-brule-county-sd-plane-crash/

landed on a road, then hit a culvert. Plane broke in two, no crew or owners to be found. Data shows the plane was sold to an “Unknown” Mexican Corp in 2017. Now we know where all of those timed out old jets are going. No need for pesky things like overhauls or inspections...
