    Snap and lose your temper one time and get punished for life. Sounds great....

    Looking for a plane that is easy to physically climb into

    :yeahthat: Huge doors that open 90 degrees with no strut to maneuver around and they look good too.......

    Alec Baldwin shoots and kills cinematographer.

    The problem is neither one of those sound right. The .50 has a deeper whump whump whump to it. I suppose that issue could be overcome with sound editing later on in the production process.

    My Airport wedding!

    I won't tell my wife you said that. ;) This one offers a better view. I love how the red really pops against the background.

    My Airport wedding!

    Congratulations! My wife and I married at the church but we did take our engagement photos with the plane. She's not a pilot but does enjoy flying with me.

    Del Rio TFR

    There's also 3 large TFRs SE of El Paso. Same issue?

    Fatal accidents last year in Aviation ?

    Ever consider that he didn't see him coming? I always wear a helmet but they can cut down on peripheral vision and make it harder to see something coming from the side. BTW congrats on your self appointment as high commissioner of motorcycle safety. I'm sure you'll save a lot of lives running...

    177RG Lake Havasu

    I have to wonder if vapor lock was an issue with those outside temps. I've rejected takeoffs after an engine stumble a couple of times on hot days when the fuel pressure dropped off at full throttle. I was burning mogas which has a lower vapor pressure than 100LL so that probably contributed.

    Okay, call me sexist, rascist, homophobe, xenophobe........

    $100 burger run destinations relatively close to Wichita?

    My wife suggested flying somewhere to eat this weekend. We've been to Beaumont, Stearman, Hutch, Paola, Enid, and Ponca City recently so I'm hoping for somewhere new to try that wouldn't be more than an hour or two away. Anyone know if the airport cafe at Wiley Post in OKC is still open and...

    ADS-B Out and Passive Radar Homing Missile

    ADSB or a transponder would make no difference in the ability of a military fire control radar or other weapon system to target you. In fact on the ship we had multiple ways to knock down low slow flyer threats. An SM2 guided by the SPY-1 (search/FC radar) with either CAW (command all the way)...

    NOTAM Kabul

    They're probably also feeling their oats about now. It wouldn't shock me at all if they think they could get away with something given the current state of affairs. This might be another Neville Chamberlain "peace in our time" moment.

    NOTAM Kabul

    The fact that we are relying on what is basically a terrorist regime's cooperation to get our own citizens out is the most damning part of this FUBARed operation. We're slipping but we still have the most powerful military on earth and certainly could have left in a much less chaotic manner...

    NOTAM Kabul

    The problem with the more sensitive stuff is that it will likely make it into Iranian hands and from there possibly to the Chinese or Russians. The other stuff like rifles, trucks, artillery, and other useful equipment can be turned against the resistance forming over there or can be used to...

    DIY gas powered tug

    We just use a lawnmower at my friends hangar on a grass strip. Same problem with the slope but kills two birds with one stone since we often need to mow the runway before we go fly.
