I've heard the biggest side effect of the Covid vaccine is that the recipient has to tell everyone he got the vaccine. :-)

Got my first one yesterday (Pfizer), actually had a bit of reaction to it...

Since the accident (CEN19WA289) happened in Spain, the US NTSB will would not be involved unless requested by the Spanish authorities. As homebuilt accidents in the US are already lower priorities...

Had a GoPro bolted to the wing tiedown today. Had an eagle or a hawk go zipping by in the other direction. See about six seconds in:

Actually, take a closer look at the picture Sasquatch posted. The dog is wearing a hearing protector, tied under his muzzle.

Here's Sun-N-Fun's COVID policies. One would imagine AirVenture's will be similar, unless it's verified that the pandemic has been beaten down sufficiently.

We don't yet know how the workshops at AirVenture will be affected. Likely, they will institute more distancing and work in tents with the sides up for ventilation. I believe Air Academy has its...

Well, it's probably less for the kids involved than for the older folks (mostly retired) who teach at the sessions. It's hard to keep socially distant in a classroom environment where one's teaching...

I actually like it. It's a high box, so most carriers will be able to stand up inside. That makes it easier to work in as well as load. The huge windshield and the high seating position gives the...

I think the possibility is essentially zero that EAA will require attendees to have proof of vaccination.

I think the possibility that EAA will require volunteers to have proof of vaccination is...

Oshkosh 2021 checklist:

1. Chapter cap
2. Raincoat
3. Sunscreen
4. Tinfoil hat.....

I had a '64 VW at first, then a '74. Still think of them as great little cars. Eventually I "worked up" to a 1974 "Thing." Now THAT was a POS. But when I listed it for sale, I had folks lining...

One of the saddest things about this pandemic is how mask-wearing has become politicized.

Kind of reminds me of the '70s, when the US mandated putting seat belts in cars. You had people buying...

So far, Covid is operating on about a five-month cycle:

It remains to be seen how this is affected by rising vaccination rates,...

I think EAA is betting on improvement and reduction in restrictions. The trend is looking good, especially once vaccine production/distribution catches up. If SnF goes on schedule, EAA would have a...

What, we're complaining about the good old days when home electronics could be repaired by the owner? Next we'll be waxing nostalgic about when all you needed to work on your car's engine was a set...

Yup. Behind the lunch box you can the the top of a frame. It holds an original lobby card for the movie (basically a small version of the poster).

What, you mean you don't have it any more? :-)

Ideally, everyone would wear an effective, properly-fitting mask, but in real life that's never going to happen. But you can find plenty of both scientific evidence and anecdotal accounts (e.g.,...

Medical masks have been used to minimize transmission of disease for over 100 years; there are pictures of doctors in the Civil War era wearing them. Until a year ago, there was no...

And other people react differently. Some have a longer asymptomatic time. It also hits people differently. You recovered from Covid...does that mean you don't believe ANYONE has died from it? ...

The problem with Covid is that you don't *know* if you're sick. There can be 3-5 days where you're infectious and don't realize you have it.

Are masks perfect? Of course not. But they do reduce...

Good data, thanks. Is there an equivalent one for the 2009 H1N1 pandemic? I'd like to get confirmation that comorbidities are NOT included in the 2009 CDC tally of US deaths. Doing searches on...

The only outbreak of similar lethality was the Spanish Flu over 100 years ago; EAA wasn't around then. The polio outbreaks in around 1955 come to mind, but considering EAA didn't even have a...
