There are lots of antique airplanes flying with the large, historically correct, markings. I would not worry about a "Karen". We deal with them and FAA gets to handle them and explain that their...

I have a relative who was a TV reporter for a while. I can confirm that most reporters know nothing about the topics that they get assigned. That said, for the aviation world, I can report that my...
The UK's Daily Mail is one of the "yellow journalism" (look it up) rags. Not to be taken seriously.
Best of luck,

I parked at FLD and did the bus some years ago. Worked pretty good.

Are we talking about a parallel valve -540 or an angle valve engine? The parallel valve engines are lighter but more fragile in aerobatic use. Pitts fly with parallel valve -540's and Extras fly...
What the poster is hearing is that they do not want the business. As mentioned above, Falcon, Northwest, and even AVEMCO will insure that airplane with relatively reasonable training requirement. ...
Wow! Digging up a 12 year old thread! The original posters are long gone.

Don't waste your energy on the idiots. The idiots won't get it.
Once upon a time I was in a flight of 20 coming in to the show at OSH from western Wisconsin. 10 elements of two in trail. The...
Yesterday my municipal airport had a Wheels & Wings event. I spent some quality hours showing off my airplane to a line of families, parents with children. I think that I lifted over 100 kids into...
Airshows are vaudeville with the FAA and other regulatory agencies looking over your shoulder. We have a flight training regime that messages that aviation is serious business. Its transportation. ...
Water accumulation? Who suggested that?
I have seen a couple of the tanks corrode but only because the owner did not fly inverted enough.
If that is a CAP-10, check that the AD on the wings...
The current generation buys rather than builds. For many it is easier to advance a professional career so that there is discretionary income to buy than to spend the 4000 hours building.

IAC chapters are pretty much on Facebook and Instagram.
The Acro Exploder is still going also. Same Google group as mentioned above.

Technically true but burning to death applies to all types of vehicles.
"Heard a rumor" - does not provide much info. You likely would benefit from asking more specific questions of whomever is...
Today's question is whether you used FAR 25 qualified materials or just material from the local fabric store? If you used a supplier like Douglas Interiors who just ships qualified fabrics then...
The Mirocopter web site appears to assert that the ship is sold fully assembled as a 14 CFR Part 107 Ultralight vehicle. To turn it into an E-Ex aircraft you will have to engage the services of a...
Apples and oranges. Sitting up front in a -3 with the window open and your elbow out you can fantasize about Ernie Gann. A whole different experience to be enjoyed in its own right. Not to mention...
Learning how to video a flight and add Aresti and music. :)

On post #5 - It is really not practical to leave and come back during the day. If you think that you might save $$ by going out for lunch, be advised that you will pay more in aggravation getting...
Some moderate speed rolls in a Sukhoi 26. Need to be a little crisper on the point rolls. :)

Are non-clorinated brake cleaners that are advertised as VOC compliant and "recommended Restrictions" None Known" better?

"Maybe I'm wrong ?"
Yes, the US Comm test is easy if you have any aptitude. A written exam on stuff you should already know, and a flight test that has you demonstrate that you can fly with...
This is indeed a complex subject. An inelastic object falling the distance specified and stopping in zero distance does indeed experience very large forces. But that is pretty much never the case....
That calculation is definitely not correct. Or I should have died every time that I landed a round parachute. The load depends on deceleration distance and how the impact is absorbed by whatever...
The best answer to post #1 can be found in the engine manufacturers guidance, not what "some guy" at the airport or on the internet offers as an opinion. The manufacturer has spent some $$ on...
