A bit more nuanced than that. The military actually had a rocket ready to go before the Russians. But Ike wanted it to be a civilian effort, so he held them back. Only after the public outcry of being beaten did he let the military and Von Braun use their hardware to launch. And the...

The efficiency of the Wright’s propellers was leaps and bounds beyond what was then being used, and from what I’ve read isn’t that far off from what we have today. Their insight that a propeller is actually a type of wing was revolutionary.

Boggles the mind that a level of craftsmanship existed that was sharp enough to make these by hand with what they had back then.

True, but since Boeing half owns ULA........ :cool:

The moon landing was like winning WWII. Won the war/race by brute spending force and industrial capacity pushing the technology to and beyond its limits. The Apollo 1 fire is a stark reminder of just how much it was being pushed. It was what was needed to win the race, but it was not...

OK - how about this - POA fly in and mega multi pit BBQ blow out at Racer X's. We're talking tankering those small barrels of BBQ sauce.

You know...... the typical "stress dream" used to be confined to that math class final test you that either you forgot to study for or you just forgot you were in the class altogether and never attended. Every now and then my new "stress dream" is stalling, or watching another plane close...

What might you be storing so much of that you need an industrial walk in freezer? Sub contracting for the mafia?

I think they have good enough quality on the falcons and dragons given they seem to be working without loosing windows, etc. I do have a bad feeling about the Boeing Starliner manned mission coming up, given the past test flights. Related to that, I don’t understand exactly why the...

Connect for Traffic? Not to the 175. The 660, like other tablets and handhelds, needs to get ADSB-In traffic and weather from your transponder or other compatible ADSB-In source. A Garmin unit is picky on who it can “talk to”. So you’d have to have a Garmin ADSB-In transponder or a...

Honestly, I think you're better off with an I pad mini and something like ForeFlight.

Every company, any thing and every thing has a beginning, middle, and end. IBM, Sony - still around, but in the twilight and will be the way of Kodak and Xerox some day. When companies get old they somehow get caught up in their own echo chamber of power point Kabuki dancing. Executives...

That - I did not know. So you only get one go at getting insurance quotes (if using a broker vs direct)?

Which at that point they'll just shoot you down and be done with it. :cool: https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/737ceeaf-082a-40d7-879a-08b03267a87b#2h2wEz-6.copy

Assured Partners gave me a quote the next day after shopping it around a few underwriters. I called Avemco and it was nearly double for slightly less coverage. This is all for a Skylane. Insurance is odd indeed.

hmmm..... these things usually come in pairs.....

Stormy Waters? Related to that other Stormy?

So…. Besides the AOPO list of airplane attorneys and just googling, how does one find an aviation oriented attorney in the Atl area?

As a married guy, assume both wife and husband are the buyers; we don’t need an LLC. What’s common?

So, how does one go about making a written offer letter? I have a hard time getting used to the idea of pulling a form letter off of AOPA and committing a heart stopping amount of money based on my legal contract writing skills. Am I missing something besides hiring an aviation attorney to...
