So... after the severe storms/twisters in NW AR and SW MO Sunday night, everyone around here awoke to automobiles and everything else covered in mud. After the tornadic activity, another line of heavy rain (satellite was blocked) passed through--enough to have surely washed everything off. I...

Apparently this evening a 172H, 1614F, from out of town (update: Virginia) went down north of SGF. I've gleaned a little from an inside source: Pilot only, not in contact with ATC. Witnesses: "Loud, revving like a motorcycle;" "High-pitched whine like an engine winding up." News reports...

Knowing that many airports are creating documents to control activities therein, a question has arisen at our local 'drome, to wit: Assume a person builds/purchases a new, state-of-the-art LSA, which has folding wings (I noticed the new Icon is one of them, and there is a folding wing option...

"The City of Bolivar will be conducting hangar inspections at the Bolivar Municipal airport on Friday, September 3rd, 2010. The Fire Chief, Police Chief and I will be performing the inspections. The scope of the inspections will be to comply with the FAA National Based Aircraft Inventory...

Here are a couple of photos I took when my classmate and I dropped in about noon-is on Saturday...

So, why do the various 'statins ruin my fun with grapefruit? (A rhetorical question, really.) Is there any cholesterol medication that permits consumption of grapefruit? I love the stuff, and wish I could imbibe in it again (no, I don't add sugar :wink2:).

So here it is at 7:55am on the 26th, and "Fox & Friends" is broadcasting a story on the young lady born with no arms who has apparently got her LSA ticket and is shown flying an Ercoupe 415C. The news segment mentioned she is also a motivational speaker, whose website is rightfooted.com. Nice...

So yesterday my granddaughter, Kelsey, and her mom, Joy, and I went up, Kelsey's and Joy's first time with me; I had just purchased her "youth" headset. Engine was already warmed up with the heaters, had a nice direct x-wind of about 10-14 knots, and the temperature was about 50degF. So, after...

Well, before I forget all the details, I'll recall my wife's first flight, Saturday, June 14th. Got up usual time, went out to the airport (M17). Dean and Wendell are going to PTS, but Mary has decided to try and get into the plane (PA-28 140). She has had some physical problems, and...

Sheesh! Youse guys are getting it again!

So here we were, "Yes, Dear" and I "working" on the plane's ;) weight and balance on the taxiway at M17, and on the way back to the hangars and pickup truck I hear a jet. It's not an Embraer, nor is it a CRJ--just doesn't sound right; so, says I, mebbe its lights are on, and I can see it (it...

"The woman thou didst give me, she did make me to eat..." That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it! I still don't think I can afford this addiction, but my wife still thinks I can. So, here it is. I'm considering some panel upgrades, and am brainstorming on how to get rich so's I can...

I just know I have read (and I paraphrase here) in one of the FAA documents that learning is a change of behavior as a result of acquiring knowledge. Where did I read that? Does anybody recall? Looking for a reference for a Computer 101 research paper (technology in education).

So are there any type clubs for Cherokee 140s, like the Cardinal Flyers Organization? Y'know, lots of good stuff, including ADs, STCs &c but for Cherokees? I'll check back in a couple of days... Thanks in advance!

So today I gave my college persuasive speech. Topic was User Fees (I'm agin 'em) Got an "A" on it, and when it was done, several students requested onw of the fifteen copies of the AOPA legislative scorecard I had printed. That's the more important part. Guess I did well since I was...

Just stumbled on the Red Bull races in Abu Dabi, 11:30-odd pm, CDT. Cool video. Jim

Left M17 Friday at 8:00am, flew to Corinth, MS (CRX), overflying Walnut Ridge, AR (ARG) and (to keep clear of MEM's Class B) Covington, TN (M04) to pick up my wife, Mary's, father. He's 84, and a former Consolidated B-24 pilot. He was on his way to the west coast (along with several...

So does anybody know where I can get PDFs of the FARs? (I'm betting they're not available.) I have (old) Word document copies from los Federales, but would prefer to load PDFs. Thanks, Jim
