I guess you just need to be thankful for a ten-year head start?

I have had similar experiences with other organizations.

To quote WC Fields when flying through cloudy skies and the pilot...

Excellent advice. I have owned six acft- both tube & fabric & all metal- and have found that exposure to the elements is detrimental, as L16 states. I also have many farm tractors & implements and...

Wow; just wow!

Round engines, Harley engines, Model T engines, Merlins, and the old flat-head Ford V-8 always turn my head!

May you have years and years of excellent flying!

I think I was alluding to limitations other than MOAs- although they are in some cases more prevalent. Why you focused on just that one factor is interesting.

I think I could only add one only needs to compare sectional charts of today and the 1970s for some graphic evidence as to how restrictive regulations have become.

Those of us who flew in the...

We made a new field here in NE NYS years back, had no issues with DOT or FAA (consulted both), and then one 'downstater' built a big home directly on the final approach. There was some complaining as...

I sent mine in & got 'canned responses' from Chuckie Schumer and What's-Her-Name'..

I just hope upon hope lots of members did something similar with their DC Nobility.

Ray has me laughing still.

I am intrigued and fascinated by gyros, but a while back I recall some problem with gyros and the FAA. Seems like the FAA was 'down' on manufactured versions...

Years back I thought only one thing dropped from the sky and that was a bird byproduct. Now we have to contend with UAVs, space junk, and meat missiles.

A couple of years back while doing a bit...

A friend who flies behind- or in his case in front of- a Rotax has sent his off to Lockwood Aviation, I believe.

He's had the engine rebuilt at least once in roughly 25 years.

I found this...

Bill, here's where you nailed it: "If something is that important, why not order in time instead of waiting until the last minute?"

Just this morning I mentioned this no-news news item to my...

Agreed. Besides, how can one actually discuss a problem and ignore the known cause?
That would seem childish.

I noticed the remark that the general aviation community is so small the 100 oct no-lead fuel would not warrant a big outlay.
I wonder if maybe other markets might also be interested in that fuel?...

I, too, taught motorcycle safety for the Motor Safety Foundation for about twenty years and what you posted is something I also said, more or less.

WILU's comment RE: LSD "flyers" made me smile...

Although I did not see my gorgeous red -4 in there, I must confess to being swept up by the eye candy! Nice.

I am a low-time commercial pilot- ~2000 hrs.- and have flown hundreds of first-timers in the several acft I have owned, including an RV-4. I presently own a 'geezer hawk' 152/150 and have stopped...

It isn't just the expense, not that that alone wouldn't wipe dreams from young skulls, but it is also something insidious; attitude which make young pilots very scarce. I have, over the years, flown...

I picked up a set back @ OSH in 2009. They have performed very well as far as I am concerned.... and the price is right where it was in '09. Imagine.
