Spent a week with my grandparents when I was about ten. Tom Swift and His Aerial Warship was on the bookshelf. My father and uncle probably read it, there was a date written in the cover, 1932. Sometime in the ‘60s I read the Reader’s Digest condensed version of Fate is the Hunter.

Agree, I think MP will stay the same. EGTs will go up if ROP, down if LOP. Airspeed or altitude will go down. Carb ice will cause a loss of airspeed or altitude and most telling, a loss of MP.

Maybe pie is different on the moon. But then, they're not from the actual Moon. I'm still hacked about French Fries. And French Toast. Where is Texas Toast made? Nuts, I'll be hearing the voices all night now.

Ouch. Ouch! Reminds me of my last tangle with the IRS.

I rented cars nearly every week for eight years at small and large airports. Lots of odd things happened but never was charged for a cleaning. Every now and then was charged more for an extra day.

If you fan seven more victims with a pizza box, do you get a free pizza?

The Garmin GI-275 and G5 only show a standard rate turn if the temperature sensor is installed. Need that to calculate true airspeed and the the standard rate. GI-275 Depiction is a white triangle on the attitude indicator that will move depending on TAS.

Who was flying, Abbot or Costello?

That guy had his head up his...uh, uh. That's not right.

Center, 4PL requests change of destination to AXS and start down right now. Cleared direct Altus Quartz Mountain, descend and maintain 5000, do you require assistance? No sir, our dog decide he needs to take a dump. (Laughter), contact Altus Approach 125.1. ATC is pretty accommodating...

Her father is a regular poster on Beechtalk.

Don't remember tattoos. Maybe his grandfather.

That brings back memories.

I remember our neighbor, Tom Lee bringing my mother some candles as our electricity was out. Pouring rain and wind was blowing. My father was on the road somewhere. October 1954, Richmond, Virginia, Hurricane Hazel. I was 3 and a half.

About once a year I ride in the right seat with someone going to deliver an airplane or pick one up. From the right seat I wonder, why in the world can't that guy land on the centerline? Are wheels coming off when he lands crabbed like this? Only from the right see I get the illusion.

The illustration in the instruction manual showing the fuse in the power line does have a note saying to locate the fuse as close as possible to the power source. It would be misleading to just look at the pictures and not read the directions.

Poor decision making caused the accident, what actually caused the plane to stall and crash? Ice on wing? Ice on tail? Overweight and aft of CG? Slow and behind power curve at rotation? ASOS wind 010@7, departed 31 and turned left, a downwind turn at minimum airspeed?

It is more difficult for me to make changes on my iPad in turbulence than pushing buttons on my GNX375. Every now and then, push the wrong button, it's just not a big deal. When using GPSS from my 275, my Stec 60-2 must be in HDG mode. Once turned to the final approach course, switch from HDG...

Exactly. However, for some it is a blind faith issue because they don’t understand there is a difference.

Yes, I understand the difference in an LPV and LNAV with a glide path advisory and the danger of blind faith in an advisory. Does everyone?
