Am I following this kid? Of course not! Like I give a damn about some stupid kid with too much money and not enough sense.

I loved the complaint about the Basler fuel truck not responding to her immediate demands. I suppose she missed the whole thing about attaching your fuel request ticket to the prop. I'm guessing she expected them to stop everything they were doing and IMMEDIATELY tend to her. What a b****.

If I google my tail number there are a bunch of pictures others have taken of my plane landing at Oshkosh over the years. Pictures of me landing, taxiing and my plane parked too. One of the pictures of me landing was really good... The link I found for that picture offered to sell me a higher...

Amazing. Yes how about RTFM. ;)

It's just less stressful to not know about the other traffic. :D

Can't to see pictures of The Monkey in Vegas if anyone ever gets him there...

I was extremely surprised to find out myself but did you know that a large percentage of male millennials are being brought up to pee sitting down "because it makes less of a mess"? So that question wouldn't necessarily work. For the record not only do I pee standing up I even **** standing up.

I agree with others that the article was silly. I was one of those rushing in (after flying for hours) as soon as the ceilings lifted to VFR on Sunday morning. The issue was at Ripon getting into line. Once you're in line, it is business as usual. The actual approach to the runway was busy but...

Yep that's the way to do it. Pretty much my routine too.

I'd love to know what kind of deal the repair companies get with the home warranty places. Here is my guess: They get to keep the service charge ($50 or whatever it is) but otherwise ONLY get reimbursed for parts (cost only) and not for their time. That is the only reason I can think of why they...

Uber was very much available and there are a lot of really good alternatives within a $10-$15 uber ride from the grounds. Unless you think Bud Lite is a good beer, you can do a whole lot better by going elsewhere if you haven't brought your own beer.

I got rid of my home warranty after the first year of buying my house. They specialize in doing the absolute bare minimum in fixing (for example) your AC. If you live in a place where the bulk of your electrical expense is AC like in Texas, you're better off in my opinion with dumping the home...

Flying into Oshkosh is the best part of it for me. I like coming in when it is really busy. It sounds crazy but you have lots of time to react at the slower speeds. Remember you're supposed to be slowing to 90 knots at Ripon. My experience is that it is that or lower, and at those low speeds you...

Yep. Let me just say that last week at Oshkosh was not a dry event for me. ;) I brought in 8 bottles of wine and about 24 beers. And besides that I downed a few at Friar Tucks and other establishments within Uber distance. I did share my drinks with others though before you start jumping to...

How well does the AHRS function work in Stratux, besides the Foreflight connectivity issue?

We use SolidWorks for all our mechanical design. There are many powerful third party add-ons such as finite element analysis and optical design. Having said that... check out onshape.com. It is FULLY on the cloud and you can get a free account with limited space but enough to try different...

My first flight into the Rockies from the East did exactly that. I was flying in to Rifle to spend some time with a mountain flying CFI. He advised me to go over Hagerman pass, then follow the valley down past the Ruedi reservoir and finally down to the valley with interstate 70. It was really...

Gear before flaps is what I do too.

If I ever crash I want it to be at OSH during the show week. The response time of the emergency services is exceptional. I watched when someone declared an emergency due to low oil pressure and within seconds one of the units was roaring into position near the runway. When the plane landed, the...

Yeah, heard that argument when I was in high school from individuals who have not done well in life so my personal evidence would seem to contradict that. You were being sarcastic though right? Not against smoking weed as a recreational thing though.
