Interesting conversation this morning. We flew a Jet Ranger a few hours into town this morning, and handed it over to another pilot. He was retired from the CBP, and flew the MD 600 for many years....

Snippet:
The plane departed Fairbanks just before 10 a.m., loaded with 3,200 gallons (12,100...
We have a doctor that specializes in that procedure!

Great guns, and I also prefer the B. Negatives are the rounded grip which likely doesn't do as well as a straight side grip, and sear support when taking a blow to the back of the slide (dead trigger...
From FAI newspaper website:
The Douglas DC-4 is an Alaska Air Fuel Inc. plane based out of Wasilla. An Alaska Air Fuel employee told the News-Miner that they are not familiar with the incident.
Pretty sure they have C-46 and DC-6 aircraft for delivering fuel in remote AK, but don't know about the plane that crashed, which I believe is a DC-4.

The Sig is the best shooting 10mm of my various 10mm pistols.
Everything I have read and heard suggests the M&P 10 mm pistols are great with 40 Smith & Wesson power level loads, but not reliable with heavier 10 mm loads. For personal defense around bears and...
Which is exactly why, as a company grows you no longer have a Bill Wilson, for example, participating, and you have their social media guy who monitors a bunch of forums and says politically correct...

It is crazy that it is more expensive than a ranger raptor.
My copies continue to have poor longevity. I would go Streamlight.
It is really hard to be an industry business person and participate on a forum. Ernest is very busy growing his business and the PF value is not there for him. Just like B shooters are the backbone...
It has been said that people post on the internet for two main reasons -- money and ego. I would offer two additional reasons, a genuine interest in information exchange and a desire to be part of a...

Interesting morning at the airport. Guy in a Navajo had an engine failure at V1, and was able to abort his takeoff. Glad it didn't happen at 100 feet AGL. When we were done flying, a V22 came taxiing...
A friend of mine just bought (or ordered), a new polymer, Icarus macro grip module. I wasn't aware of their polymer offerings, what is the word on these?
The Sinn 857 UTC sure is a good looking watch. YVK likes the 856 because it is more understated.

Since it is 50 minutes long, can someone post the Cliff Notes version. My recollection is that Phil shot a whole magazine of Buffalo Bore 147+ P hard cast through his 3953, or similar, S&W single...
Beautiful morning and we were out flying Cubs this morning. On the way back, I was announcing my position from the airport, when a guy came on the radio in a twin Cessna. After I asked how many...
VCDgrips got me into watches again, after 25 years of thinking a Casio ProTek is all I needed. YVK has been telling me about his Sinn non stop, although I note his latest watch was a Duro. Here he is...
