Saw this elsewhere. John Talmadge of Diamond Aire and the holder of most of the STC's for the PA-23 line has gone west. http://www.diamondaire.com/ edit: Mods, can you move this to gone west.

So it appears the family business is coming to an end. Not because it's no longer financially viable. Dad owns the 2 unit building we're in outright and the other tenant has made him an offer for both suites he can't refuse. Here's a pile of money every month for 10 years, take it or we're...

Ok...probably just me as I used to race against a handful of the current drivers. But Iowa Speedway just announced they got their first Cup race next June. Airport is essentially on the track and that's all the reason I need. Anyone else?

Just walked out of my shop and saw this flying LOW. Looked at flightaware. NASA DC8 flying at 1300'. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/NASA817

Service Bulletin (SB) 1375C supersedes SB 1375, SB 1375A, and SB 1375B in their entirety. If any of the four factory original screws in the upper flange were replaced with oversize fasteners as part of compliance with SB1375A, contact Piper for disposition. Aircraft that have complied with SB...

Had no idea Dexter Holland from the Offspring was a pilot. He also has a phd in molecular biology. This made me chuckle.

Ok, so I'm usually not the most charitable person out there. And Im typically not a fan of gofundme's but this one is tough. A friend of mine lost her cousin at 32 to SADS (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome). Never heard of it before. Skeptical it was a thing, but after autopsy showed nothing it's all...

Alright, bored out of my mind today after breaking my foot last night. Appointment with Ortho tomorrow to tell me I need it pinned. Figured I'd share what I was working on when I took a tumble. My covid project has run a little long... My detached garage didn't have electric. The slab was...

Ok, Im bored. My apologies. In the hospital waiting after x-rays were taken to confirm I broke my foot. But holy cow, blood pressure was the highest Ive ever had. 133/63. No doubt the trauma was probably a factor as it was a little over an hour after the incident. And the results are in. No...

Posted elsewhere, made me chuckle.

This one is a rather tough one and while I only met him a couple times, left an impression. Held off on posting until it was public knowledge even though I knew the day it happened. Claude did a lot for the GA community and will be missed. The first fatal of someone I've met/known personally...

So my tenants have two boys 3 and 6. Last year I got the kids tickets to monster jam. And the parents a gift card to a steakhouse owned by one of my customers. This year plan on a seafood restaurant owned by a different customer for the adults. But was kind of stumped on the kids. Nothing warms...

Got an email today and followed up on other forums and even PWK's facebook page. A crew of three guys with a silver range rover/land rover with plates removed has hit up IGQ, LOT, PWK,C09, and C77. Same car on camera. Hangared and ramped aircrafts have been victims. Everything from a Lear, to...

My dad was in Alaska the last week of August and I had to fly his plane to Florida from Chicago 8/27. Flew back commercial that Sunday. Was leaving on Tuesday to drive out to New Mexico for the Archery hunt. Out on a job Monday afternoon and get a call from my sister. My dad's garage is...

Not on tik tok. Not even on facebook, have never had it. In any event saw the latest tik tok challenge today. I had a great laugh. Darwinism needs a comeback. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/cooking-chicken-nyquil-dangerous-fda-says-video-tiktok-rcna48608

https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/lirio-liu-replaces-earl-lawrence-at-faa-certification/ Not sure if this was brought up but I don't recall seeing it. I find the timing curious. As it was announced a week and a half after the EAGLE announcement. And a couple days after Braly voiced his...

Cleared to land twice. Bumped twice. Engine failure. Talk about a frustrating solo

C81 is on the block. Anyone got a spare 8 million around to keep things convenient for me? https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/22731-W-Townline-Rd-Grayslake-IL/24802171/

Saw this on the Dynon forum which came from the Avidyne forum. Don't shoot the messenger. Valued Customers: Like all manufacturers of electronic products, Avidyne has been subjected to unprecedented supply chain challenges in recent months. Despite our best efforts to maintain our costs and...

Sounds like Coast Guard just suspended the search as it went down a few days ago. Long cross country, at night, over water, no flight following. Looks like the plane was a Dakota. If the tail number is correct, relatively new ownership. Person that was supposed to meet him called after he no...
