Presidential Osprey departed here yesterday.

Yup, the donut factory is in full swing here now that the training squadrons can finally fly again.

So am I reading this correctly? “Something broke, killed a bunch of our guys, we don’t know why it broke but because the V-22 is so vital to our national defense we are returning it to flight but will watch it really really closely.”

I mean- isn’t that pretty much the V-22 program from the beginning?

All kidding aside Im told there’s an inspection process they are going through and have found a way to chalk it up to pilot error. So it’s fine to fly it again. (Shrugging) So definitely NOT what you just said.

Not sure how a hard clutch engagement is a pilots fault but yeah............Pilot Error.

That's some scary shit - and I fly a 737MAX!!!

Fun morning out flying earlier.

My wife and I went out "Cub" flying at first light, bouncing around between some of our favorite nearby landing spots out in the desert. Thirty minutes or so into my flight, I departed a 250 foot strip, and was about 300 feet AGL, when the oil pressure tape on my display turned yellow, and continued to decrease. I decided to land as soon as possible, at a somewhat longer (350 feet) place nearby, when oil pressure turned red and set off a master warning red light. I carried a little extra speed on final and landed without issue. Shut down and there was no oil splattered on the cowling, and the oil level was fine. Talking it over with Charlie on the radio, we decided it was likely a transducer on the connection, so I flew it back fifteen miles to the airport, with her following me. Never a dull moment out there.

Wow - there are Cubs with digital engine gauges available now?
Next you’ll be telling us about using your HUD…

I’m sitting in the back of one with a full glass panel and autopilot as I type this.

Hey, it is a Garmin world.



Can you see the engine gauges from the back seat, with someone in front?

My T-Crate is jealous!
