    What are Roosters for

    Not weird at all. On point and hilarious actually. Perhaps you know less about Chicago than livestock. Here’s a resource created to educate people like you: https://heyjackass.com/ Consider doing a walking tour of the entire city next time you visit and report back.

    Chinese Spy Balloon Flying Over the U.S.

    News reports saying balloon was shot down by an AIM-9 sidewinder missile. Question for POA members with knowledge of such things; would a balloon present an adequate IR source for a sidewinder to lock on and guide to? Separately, would a balloon possess a large enough mass for the missile’s...

    How can I make pilots' lives easier using apps?

    I'm interested to hear what Concur alternatives you prefer? I've looked, and not found a better expense reporting app, but I'm open minded about better alternatives.

    Ok, I’ll bite. What is incorrect about asking, “any traffic in the pattern to please advise?”

    Yes. It’s a powerful tool. And that’s likely an understatement.

    Any skiers/snowboarders here? WTH happened to lift prices?

    Same boat. And the services and experience have gotten worse since COVID.

    F-35B Down at Ft. Worth

    I was surprised to see the pilot eject when the plane was (to my non-expert eyes) already on the ground and coming to a rest. I would have thought at that moment, the risk of injury from an ejection would have called for another course of action - i.e. climb down and run away.

    Plane Bubble

    My anecdotal observation is that prices for large ticket items such as businesses, real estate (residential and commercial), and automobiles have indeed begun declining in price. But airplanes (personally owned piston) have not. I don’t pay attention to boats and am curious how pricing is...

    Translating Horsepower to Airspeed

    THAT makes sense to me. I wasn’t taking into consideration that turboprop planes have many more blades than their piston powered counterparts. Thank you.

    Translating Horsepower to Airspeed

    Thanks for the informative replies. I understand how constant speed props work. I just didn’t realize that the higher AOA enabled by the more powerful engine was the sole reason for the much faster airspeeds in turboprops.

    Translating Horsepower to Airspeed

    Good morning POA. I’m trying to better understand how the higher horsepower engines in turboprops translate to higher airspeed. On the one hand it seems obvious that (for purposes of discussion) doubling horsepower would yield higher airspeed. However, propeller speeds are limited...
