Yep. This is yet another gateway to spending gobs of cash. I’m not exactly sure how much money this website has cost me over the years, and honestly I don’t care to know either. Lol

Next step done. First rodeo and the dealer has been very patient and helpful. They’re still doing fingerprint cards so off to Martinsburg it all went today. He says they’ve been averaging about 2...

Hoping that’s the case. I’ve waited a long time, so another few weeks is small potatos.

The aviation world is small. Sometimes too small. Learned today that the CA in that DC4 crash was the brother of a best friends coworker. Sounds unrelated until you stop and think. It’s a small...

Can is at the FFL. Now to go finish the paperwork and start the clock. Did an individual, so hopefully quick.

Boeing needs to get back to making airplanes, and airlines need to get back to flying airplanes. What’s going on today in the industry is anything but.

Flying up there and flying up there with some of the equipment still in service can be very unforgiving.

There was discussion in the beginning on the vanes, but honestly didn’t pay much attention. The fact that the system wasn’t fully redundant in the first place made me scratch my head.

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.
