I use Road Runner as my personal email, and recently learned that when I delete them on my iPad, it also deletes them from my email account on Road Runnner email account. That's a feature that I want. But when I do the same on my iPhone, I notice that it didn't delete it from my RR account...

I've been following the NTSB reporting of an accident that happened Kirksville, MO in November 2013, because I knew the pilot. The NTSB Preliminary report was issued 9 days after the fatal accident on 11/14/13, but the Factual report has never been issued. We're going on almost 2 years since the...

Much better than organized Labor Day. ;)

Lately, I've noticed a number of "Do you know [inser name]?" questions on Facebook where that person is a business contact I have on LinkedIn. I work to keep LinkedIn strictly business, and FB strictly personal, with very little overlap. In almost all cases, those suggested names have no other...

Our WI Wing took Sen. Ron Johnson (WI-R), co-sponsor of PBOR2, for a ride in our PT-26 on what looks like the Monday after AirVenture. Pretty cool outreach. http://youtu.be/EM4t8h6ycMc

Anyone flying into or out of OSH from Thursday, 23 July at 1500Z (1000 local) through Sunday, 26July until 2200Z (1700 local) should be aware of a TFR centered on the Milwaukee lakeshore from the surface through 16,000. http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_5_5692.html The geniuses at the...

The CAF Wisconsin Wing and Stein's Aero in Waukesha hosted the Tora! Tora! Tora! flight team as they pre-positioned their aircraft at Waukesha before coming to Oshkosh next week. Great people. Several of us drove the pilots and crew to MKE so that they could catch a flight back home...

Happy Canada Day to my friends up North, and those Canadians in the States. Well except for you Canucks fans - I hate you guys. :D

On Saturday the CAF WI Wing held our spring banquet, and our guest speaker was a wonderful 89-year old WWII veteran, B-24 radio operator and top turret gunner by the name of George Michel. The man still fit in his uniform! George spoke for probably an hour and a half about joining the Army...

For those of you who thought my criticism of Gander Mountain was unfair, I thought I'd point out a case of a large company that does it right, and where customer service is top notch. I have probably a 12-year old pair of LL Bean boots. They're the best for hunting, traipsing through the...

I stopped in to Gander Mountain the other day to price out some ammo, and also to look at the Gen 3 Glock 23 vs. the. Gen. 4 Glock 23. I can get a Gen 4 Glock 23 from Cabela's for $499.99, but I will probably get it from a local shop that I like for $550. Gander Mountain's price...

I know the premise of an 8 day clock - it stays wound for 8 days. But how is that applicable to a cockpit clock? In many ads for aircraft for sale (i.e. T-34 Mentor) I notice the avionics list includes an 8 day clock? Is that a brand name for an aviation clock? Is it a term to describe a...

OK, I can't hold back my excitement about AirVenture 2015. As some of you know, I work Flightline ops every day, but I've always driven back and forth, which is about a 90 minute drive. I know I've been missing much of the party over the years, so this year I'm going to camp at Camp Scholler...

On the newest version of Tapatalk, POA is represented with a nice picture of what looks like a Greek church on the Mediterranean Sea. Is that a Tapatalk creation, or can we get a picture of a plane or something aviation-related?

My daughter is exploring a potential job opportunity in the Roswell, NM area. It would involve a fair amount of travel to farms and ranches in SE NM, parts of west Texas, west Oklahoma, and SE Kansas. Except for Area 51 and all those aliens :yikes: I know very little about the area. I...

My go-to is Makers Mark or Knob Creek on the rocks, but I can't do that all night. So, I made my first Moscow Mule tonight. 2oz Smirnoff vodka, 1oz lime juice, on the rocks, topped off with ginger beer, and served in a copper mug. Yummy! What is on your list this evening?

We're visiting our daughter, a 4th year veterinary student, at Mississippi State University. She's in a neurology rotation and can't come home for Christmas. She just told me a story that caused my eye to leak. Two days ago a SAM (apparently a vet term for a Good Samaritan) found a white...

I've got a tack-driving, match quality AR-15 built by my friend at LMT. I love the rifle, and don't want to mess with it. So I'm looking for a more affordable, but decent quality AR platform that I can play around with and customize - different fore-ends, stocks, interchange uppers between a...
