Welcome to a new way of spending way too much money on stuff. Lol

DeadAir Nomad 30.

Amazed at how straight forward it all was in the end. Funniest part was when I walked into the...

Thanks. Yep, it seems like a nice ride. A bit different from what I was used to, but there’s not year old peanuts and candy wrappers on the cockpit floor either!

Oh tru dat

Very true. It’s a sliding scale too. Lots of constantly changing variables. Recognizing those is what experience is all about. I still have self imposed taildragger crosswind limits that are...

High performance aircraft, low IFR conditions, icing, mountainous terrain, non-precision approach, minimally experienced PIC. Lots to go wrong. Not sure on the TBM but with my VERY limited...

I like stories! Lol. I figure the owners would like to stay anonymous and I don’t want to be fired before I really get going.

Neat machine. Working with an old flying friend who’s managing it. I...

One of the few classic liberals I had respect for. RIP Sir.

*WARNING* Any object that is not properly secured may exit the aircraft during flight.

Gotta love aviation!


Thanks for the clarification BTW!

Do you have to do a 337 for that door removal/installation? I know when I looked into what I could do with the T-Crate, door removal required one. Suppose it’s how it’s been certified in the first...

Did somebody say “Birthday”? Are there treats involved?

I was fond of High West Double Rye for a while. Then stumbled upon this. My new casual, no-special-occasion glass of choice. Even the wife tolerates it, and she’s one of those fu-fu wine people. Lol...

“Wow” is right.

“Hamlet focused on a 70-mile stretch of trail south of the Lodge, where ill hikers were coming from. One common rest stop, he learned, was a remote log cabin in the meadows, with a pit latrine and a...

Hell of a nice guy too.

Quite.

I had a front row seat to this at the national pilot union (ALPA) level as well. I fought the mandates for our pilots and helped craft contractual language protecting them from what other...

Max stuff Boeing. Good question on the rest.

Not to bring this up yet AGAIN....BUT....

Keep in mind when .gov came out with vax mandates for the airlines, the first to jump all in was UAL. I...

This echos the comments of my 25+yr MX buddy there.

I’m glad I hold no airline stocks nor any UAL stock. Monday morning will not be pretty.

Build back better.

Not sure if this belongs here or the Airplane thread...

UALs Principal Operations Inspector (The head FAA guy that oversees their operation) pulled their authority to self-conduct new type ratings...

Thanks all!

Crappy picture of nice leather. I have a soft spot for cordovan, and Mark’s take on it is outstanding. The rig on the left is for. 4” 1911 and has shark trim. I ordered a matching belt with it. One...

Thanks much!

Ignore the PM. Lol

At least back when...he’d pretty much do whatever you needed.

Looking for a new EDC blade. Came across this in a post. I’m not a blade guy but maybe a Benchmade? I like the style and size. PM was sent to OP. Thanks.

Congrats. I flew the guppy from ‘05-‘08 and again from ‘20-‘23 for the Eskimo. Probably my least favorite ride besides the BAe ATP...but it got me to retirement so...

Mark does outstanding work. I too am glad to hear things are moving forward for him. Years back he screwed up an order. Basically I needed a thumb break and he made the holster without one. He...
