Can you please explain what you mean here? Honestly do not understand what you are trying to say.

Is anyone going? Starts in Carbondale and ends in Loveland 18-21 June. I was thinking of flying to the start and then direct to the finish. Interested in anyone’s experience if they have been to a previous one—is it sitting around waiting for planes to arrive, or more exciting than that?

Bought a bottle of wine at Aldi two months ago, they have this kind of nonsensical policy to check all IDs, but ok, I play along (60+). My retired military ID is first on my stack so I hand that. The “kid” (30s?) looks at it and says, “Not sure if I should accept this but I suppose I will.” I...

No I scaled the fence, not too many many scratches to worry about. As far as using the gate proximity sensor, apparently I do not have enough iron in my diet! Could not trigger it. I mean , I landed there and was trapped inside, no vehicle to trigger the sensor, just my flabby body.

Posted this on Airnav, or rather attempted to, did not show up. Set down here about 7:30 pm, absolutely no way to get out of the field without scaling a 8 foot fence topped with barbed wire. This was a first, set down in roughly 500 strips and they all have some type of code—usually squawk vfr...

Flying anywhere in Arkansas is going back in time ( State Motto:You are now leaving the 21st Century.) But check out these pics from KSGT, about three dozen hulls in various states of decomposition. Quite fun rummaging through them.Stopped for fuel, stayed for the wrecks.

You know how when you get a text, your phone suggests how you should respond? I always thought it would be fun, when my wife sends me a text, just to send the phone response and let that ride, see how it goes. Pretty soon the phones will have a conversation with each other, no input required.

Thank you very much! Hankrausch@stanfordalumni.org

Thank you, I have no idea why that does not show up for me. Is there an admin I can contact that you know of?

My family and I drove out to Eaton, OH which I selected using windy.com; it predicted 5% cloud cover. We has clear skies. This eclipse was very different from the one in 2017; that one looked like a hole in the universe, it was scary. This one occurred during solar max so the entire sun was...

Agree. It is based on a true story that makes for compelling reading. Imagine walking into a reactor compartment to make weld repairs knowing you will receive a lethal dose of radiation that will kill you slowly and painfully. Brave men.

Query tracker is a good website to use to find agents and track your queries, I recommend it. There are some publishers that accept un-agented work but the majority do not. There are lots of resources out there on how to write a query. I had good luck, I sent out 59 queries and got two...

For my money the movie that most accurately depicts the personal dynamics of the wardroom is “Crimson Tide”. The plot is nonsense of course but for a while I thought one of my old skippers had coached Hackman, I mean he nailed his megalomania. The scene where the Xo mentions to the CO to back...

I used to jump my plane when the battery was going. Used regular jumper cables and tied the cowling down with a rope so it wouldn’t flap around when the engine started. Didn’t try to detach while it was running, just got it hot and ran it for five minutes or so, and then shut down, buttoned...

I tried to find this but could not. Is there a link? Thanks. Here is what I get when I search on FB:

Thank you, just put a hold on it on Libby.

This might be from the same news source--here is a quote I find literally incredible: "To date, we still do not know who performed the work to open, reinstall, and close the door plug on the accident aircraft," Homendy wrote to Sens. Maria Cantwell and Ted Cruz. "Boeing has informed us that...

Personally I do not understand how someone could spend their entire adult life somewhere and then sell up and move thousands of miles away when they retire. My sister did that, 30+ years in S California then they moved to TN, 2000 miles from their kids and grandchildren. I plan on staying where...

Love love love Cedar Key! Just don’t tell anyone else about it…☺️

Just want to second, third, thirteenth what everyone else said: it’s normal, and the more you fly the more comfortable you will be. Also, adding this: As I age (nearing 4000 hours and age 63) I find myself questioning myself more, “Did I put the oil cap back on?” That sort of thing. To combat...
