Jay Hopkins writes good common-sense articles in Flying Magazine that focus on how pilots screw the pooch, and more importantly how other pilots might learn to avoid similar situations. The September issue about a P-210 and high DA is both predictable and informative. FYI

While sorting the files of my late uncle who died in June, my cousin found some correspondence regarding this website. I don't know if her dad ever owned a computer or knew about this footage of him taking off the carrier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVXVEZdfdy8

Let me know if you have one or two of them that need a new home and fair price.

Oscar approached me at the FBO in Tulsa today and asked if the shiny 180 belonged to me or if I belong to it. After sitting down to chat for a while, he told me all about the Garrett-powered Aerostar, what he will do differently on the next one and also told me more than I've ever known about...

on PBS fund-raiser tonight, haven't seen him before. Hell of a picker.

I'm paying more attention to Aspen installations pending my upcoming makeover that will include a 696 in the panel along-side the glass panels. Yesterday I saw a nicely-done A-36 panel with a 796 that appeared to be mounted in a metal frame. Since I normally expect to see the Garmins...

One of the neighborhood women posted a request for an upholsterer who does good work. I sent her the name of the guy who just finished the Jet and told her he did the entire job for less than $150,000 including the cockpit. Also sent a copy of the new couch he designed for an STC'd frame...

Toured the plant in Austin today, flew and discussed sims ranging in price from @$2,500 (the Jay) to $8,000 (the TD-2) to $200,000 (for the KA-350.) The products were impressive and they have many good ideas being implemented and more in the works. Hope it continues. I arranged the visit...

While picking up the Encore (with new G-725, camera, cabin display, etc.) the shop owner was trying to help some poor guy in a 182 whose radios were on the fritz. He later told us that the straight 155's (not the -A's) are failing at a more rapid rate due to capacitors leaking and ruining the...

What's the best quick-and-dirty for some guy who has owned the software for a year or so but never really spent any time figuring out the good stuff? I've got a line on the map for a trip to the east coast next week and can find fuel prices and a few other things, but no idea how to make it...

Interesting stuff regarding GA safety record. Anybody else read it?

I've been using paperport on the PC for years, most recently with a Xerox 510. The initial goal to become paperless has long-since faded into distant memory, but some document scanning will always be necessary (or at least handy). The old HP 5P still cranks out printing tasks perfectly, so...

Seeking input prior to install.

final annual salary necessary for basic retirment needs with stairstep goals defined at various ages. Hadn't seen this particular formula before, but found it interesting. Google Fidelity 8x for the article. Me no savvy link stuff.

Industry analyst Brian Foley now refers to the past four years as an "epic correction" in the business airplane market and warns that instead of waiting for an uptick, the industry should view the current situation as the "new normal" and adapt accordingly (emphasis his). "The pessimest in me...

be sharing a condo for a week and they are at the age where card trick interest is high.

The Missus attended a neighborhood ladies gathering earlier this evening where she met an interesting woman who said they owned a Coton du Tulear. She described the pooch as soft and cuddly and a wonderful little companion other than that he has a French attitude. When asked to elaborate, she...

for ~6 hours yesterday. Incredible place.
