    Any idea what this gadget is “Flite Path Computer”

    A friend of mine gave me this. It belonged to her dad who passed way years ago and was a pilot. Has anyone see anything like this? Someone said it may have been placed next to the flight engineers attitude indicator to show the correct flight pitch attitude. Anyone have any idea how it’s...

    Committed premeditated aviation today

    We finished harvest today. I don’t think the combine had a drop of water on it since we started. I don’t think that’s ever happened in the 30 years I’ve been farming. Need some rain bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Flat Earth and I can prove it

    Had a guy tell me he knows the earth is flat because if you fly half way around the world in one shot and the earth is round the attitude indicator would show you inverted at your destination. He was serious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Soybean or cornfield emergency landing debate

    I farm both corn and soybeans. Late summer beans will more than likely flip you if you catch the gear in them. They are almost impossible to walk through. I had a fellow instructor put a C-152 down in a tall corn field and there was very little damage to the airplane. Like someone above...

    Odd decision leads to plane crash in Texas

    It’s probably because everyone uses Snapchat and Snapchat won’t let you record in landscape. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Citation Down Into Percy Priest Lake After Takeoff From Syrna MQY

    Interesting theory. Would the transponder be on the same switch as the avionics? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Followup on 2019 Otter/Beaver midair

    They didn't explain why the otter wasn't showing altitude. I'm curious why?

    Martha Lunken has privileges revoked

    Around here if you look close a lot of bridges have a bunch of fishing line hanging off of them. I wouldn’t fly under one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The FAA was right, this time. This ONE time.

    I received the first dose of Moderna on a Tuesday morning. I felt great all day Tuesday and flew Wednesday morning. After landing I started to feel like crap. Just really run down. By Thursday morning I felt ok again. I'll be waiting a good 48 hours to fly with shot number 2.

    12/16/20 Louisiana Cherokee 2 fatalaties

    Had the same situation at our flight school. Guy showed up to fly the 172 with a couple of his buddies. It was sleeting outside. He had a new instrument rating and his plan was to get on top. Management talked him out of of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Terminating flight following

    Its possible the tower didn't have radar so they wouldn't know what you are squawking. I fly a daily survey flights that originate and end at the same non radar class D airport. The tower always coordinates with center and gives me a transponder code of 1201 before I depart even though I...

    Danish study shows no significant reduction of Covid-19 in wearers of surgical masks

    I haven’t read this whole thread but I’ll post my experience. A month ago I was piloting a survey flight with myself and two observers in a 172. A few hours after we landed one of the observers got sick and tested positive. We all had masks on. Myself and the other observer never got sick...
