    Walmart drones are here.

    How many rotors on that drone in the OP? Is it 12 horizontal ones for lift, plussome forward-facing props for propulsion?

    RSV vaccine

    Package insert for the vaccine, with data for efficacy etc: https://labeling.pfizer.com/ShowLabeling.aspx?id=19589 I got the vax (because I’m over 60, not because I’m pregnant, which is the other reason to get it), no side effect for me. It’s nice to have one less reason I could get pneumonia.

    Aviation License Plates

    Suppose your tail number was N123E, and you chose 123ECHO as your car’s plate. I did that with mine, and I’ve found that it’s obscure enough that very few people can guess the meaning of my plate. So it makes me happy without losing any real privacy.

    FIKI cert Mooney adequate for regular winter trips to Newfoundland and Labrador from New England?

    Not what you asked, but a turbo FIKI SR22 might do the job. The chute gives you another “out” in the worst-case icing scenario.

    Alaska Airlines explosive decompression 1/5/23

    I’m getting the impression that the Boeing factory is run more sloppily than the worst GA shop I’ve used. When a mechanic left bolts off stuff in my humble piston plane, at least I had documentation- a logbook entry to show that something had been installed,and it was signed and dated. Boeing’s...

    Putting CamGuard to the Test

    Another way is a cohort study. And I can do something that's close to that, using Blackstone oil-analysis data. Blackstone provides a column called "Universal averages," which is for the entire fleet using a particular engine. I show Blackstone fleet data for the Continental IO-550-N27, which...

    Spirit Airlines in trouble

    WSJ article a few days ago says that all airlines are now low-cost airlines, meaning that the biggest airlines have adopted the ways of the cheap upstarts, and that crowds out the likes if Spirit.

    Foreflight “CallSigns”

    I wish I could also see the aircraft type, when I see traffic on Foreflight. It would help to know whether I’m looking for a Cirrus or a King Air. FF shows the traffic’s groundspeed, but near an airport that doesn’t vary so much.

    FIKI Cessna 206 Replacement

    Tail stall? Is that because there the boots on the tail were less effective than on the wings?

    Getting on a Statin as a preventative, will this affect my 1st class medical?

    And a darned good thing it’s a yawn. I think atorvastatin is the #1 most commonly prescribed drug.

    New case against flight tracking

    An entity might not always help. A quick corporation search at a state’s secretary of state website will likely turn up the name and address of the entity’s owner, unless it’s a Delaware corp. Try it for example with a business like your favorite small local FBO.

    Boeing’s on a streak...

    I’ve flown on a Tupolev to Siberia. I’m pretty sure that if the 95% tried it as well, they would suddenly take an interest in paying more for a ride on an Airbus or Boeing.

    New case against flight tracking

    NetJets should be a good solution. If you don’t have your own plane nobody can track it.

    using available weather data to determine "VFR on top" possibilities

    I’ve never asked for VFR-on-top while flying on an IFR flight plan. Never saw a benefit. I could have done it Wednesday, on my trip to Wisconsin, when there was a stratus layer from 1000’ to 2000’ AGL covering many states, with clear skies above, but I was happy with my IFR altitudes of 4000...
