    My Copilot doesn't know what silvered wings are.

    Nuxt.js — any developers here familiar with it?

    I'm looking for someone to help me with my AvClicks website, recently redesigned/improved and temporarily down. Thanks.

    After nine years...

    ... they still don't seem to have this right: 05432vga_cmp.pdf (faa.gov) You need to have DME for non-DME VOR minimums? Say what? The original thread is too old to post to: 2 Questions on approaches | Pilots of America

    80 Years-old Cleveland Sectional chart

    For the aviation history buffs, complements of my old friend "Gus" Luhta who's late dad owned Concord Airpark in Painesville, Ohio, I'm uploading a 1943 copy of the no longer in existence Cleveland Sectional. I wonder if this could be the same type of chart my Uncle Ralph Tuuri used for...

    uAvionix AV-30-C AoA calibration

    I've been flying a Cessna 172 with one of these blenders that does everything but chop carrots. On takeoff the AoA red bars annunciate a stall warning even though airspeed is accelerating while in or while climbing out of ground effect at Vx. The Pilot's Guide raises more questions than answers...

    A nice little story

    I think I may have met Bob, the son, once or twice. I met Ben, the dad, a bunch of times back in the '60s and '70s. Ben and his flying buddy, Everett Kimball, came out to the airport every weekend, clipboard and sectional chart in hand, rented a plane and flew somewhere, anywhere and everywhere...

    AvClicks fired a shot for Ukraine

    Last Thursday I declined to resubscribe to the Powerpoint to HTML5 converter software I use in developing my AvClicks.com tutorials. The software was developed by a Russian and now has a USA address. Apparently, lots of companies and universities also use the software as it is very good. Last...

    Backup/cloning solutions

    I trust the Geeks here more than talking to big box computer sales staff. What do I need to backup my Windows 10 HP ssd computer? I'm thinking cloning software. I've used Norton Ghost on my old PC, but hated it because it was too complicated for me. I can't even understand most of the jargon in...

    Hmmm....

    Do you suppose the Navajo's landing gear fell flat to the ground or was this a random hit as it tumbled? (See image.) I'm thinking "flat" because that's why they put fins on bombs (to keep them from falling crosswise to the relative wind.) Part of plane's landing gear crashes onto Maine golf...

    Dish Scapes

    Does anybody besides me have Dish TV and flip to the Dish Scapes channel (#199) during TV commercials? I discovered the channel while surfing after I switched to Dish and have become addicted to trying to spot all the events buried in the scenery, from slowly changing time of day shadows to Big...

    Feathers!

    In case there's any doubt, here's proof from my birthplace of Cleveland, Ohio. I never knew they did this stuff here: Apologies if this has been shown before.

    Reminiscing about my first student

    At 19, I had just returned to the Cleveland area from Florida with my commercial and flight instructor licenses. The local airport said I could teach part time, no salary, no benefits. They called me soon after and assigned a young black man to me for his commercial training because, since I...

    This is a really bad idea, IMO

    United seeks to build its own diverse pipeline of pilots (apnews.com) I'm thinking back to July, 1979 and my first day in training at United's Stapleton Training Center. There were twelve of us in the new-hire class that Monday morning. Every Monday for the foreseeable future was booked solid...

    Prettiest little girl in the world <long>

    Friday, I had to have my beloved little girl put to sleep. I'm not embarrassed that I broke down and babbled like a baby as she stiffened and went back to be with the other angels. Cocoa was four and a half when her family broke up. Her "dad" took the other dog and left town for good. Her...

    Browser puzzler

    I like Edge, but it doesn't like me. It strips the slide player from my presentations at AvClicks.com so there's no way to advance the slides and only the first slide is visible. That is, unless I drag the window to my second monitor and refresh, then Voila! the player appears and I can...

    In need of a time machine

    I bought a second-hand Redbird TD2 that was last updated in 2012. It would be nice if I could find a source for historical approach charts of that era for reference. The paper ones I kept for old times sake are too old by about ten years. The manufacturer doesn't recommend updating the TD2...

    Please help me buy a tablet

    I need a new computer with Windows 10. I think I would like a 15+ inch screen, since that's what I'm used to. I want to be able to draw on the screen while demonstrating to a remote student while running a flight simulator session for IFR training purposes. I need some kind of simulator software...

    Mountain Goat?

    I stopped by a small airport yesterday to say "Hi" to an old mechanic friend. He was tapping in a nose seal on a Mountain Goat. It was a Super Cub-looking thing-a-ma-bob with Cub doors on both sides and big ballooney tires. When he said it cruises at 160 MPH, I couldn't believe it! "This hasn't...
