    Lewiston, ME

    The appalling events in Lewiston, ME this week made me wonder how @Lawreston (Harley Reich) is doing. He's from just 20 miles from there, and hasn't logged on here since 2019. Grant

    Final Flight Final Fight: My grandmother, the WASP, and Arlington National

    Just finished reading this at 4AM. Some of you may remember meeting the author, Erin Miller, at our 2016 Jambalaya party at Camp Bacon (Oshkosh), and she actually mentions the party a bit toward the end of the book. (Elyse is Leslie's pseudonym.) This isn't a flying book per se, but gives a lot...

    I'm making plans for the Battle Creek fly-=in next Friday and Saturday. I might be going with a board founder, and expect to run into a few other board members at the RAF booth. Anyone else planning to go? I'm trying to decide between camping with the plane and renting a car/hotel room.

    6Y9 Arrival 2015

    We're not quite there yet, but will depart Portage (WI) via ground vehicle within the hour. 4.5 hrs later... Wx between northern Illinois and Southern WIsvonsin would have precluded our launching this AM VFR even if the plane were ready.

    Airline go-arounds

    Coming back from Munich this evening in a Lufthansa A340-600, we experienced something I've never experienced before. No, not A go-around, but TWO go-arounds, and not weather related. They blamed the first one on ATC putting them too close to another plane, and the second on a tailwind thT was...

    FaceBook Terminated

    Okay, I admit it. I was spending WAY TOO MUCH TIME on FaceBook. Last week, I ended that. No more FaceBook. Ever. Account gone. Does that mean that my addiction has switched back to PoA? :confused::rofl:

    How frequently should a plane fly?

    Okay, we're going to be caring for a friend's plane by exercising it regularly. But we're still paying for fuel and oil, winter is coming up, and we have jobs! While we'd love to fly daily, it just ain't going to happen. Is there a minimum amount a plane should be flown to help prevent...

    Advanced weather training

    Spent the weekend with Scott Dennstaedt doing his Beyond the Weather Brief, and it made me realize just how much we don't learn about weather, even during instrument training. Also, how much is irrelevant or just plain wrong. Lifted Index? Largely irrelevant. Learn about CAPE instead...

    Garmin 295 to 496

    "We" have a Garmin 295 on the yoke wired to an Edi engine monitor, providing waypoint distance, etc. we also have a 496 sitting doing nothing that we'd like to put in its place. Is it just a drop-in replacement with the same cable? Is a (new?) 337 required? Eh, some research has shown that...
