Any news about Earl Luce's death from an in-flight breakup of a Buttercup? Not much in the Tailwind forum and nothing in EAA's news section.

Some improvement in getting dormant pilots back into the left seat. Without PBOR2, we'd have to get a 3rd class medical; with PBOR2 we'd have to get a 3rd class medical. Exactly where all this...

Indeed so. BUT the 'transition period', so mildly described, is a path of great expense and aggravation and risk. Nice that the 'other side' will be a promised land, but the getting there is a very...

As some of us have been hammering on for a few days now, this is not true. If you don't have a medical newer than ten years, or have never had one, you get to go through the field of mousetraps and...

Finally, some folks are discussing the emperor's new clothes. 'No Medical' means NO MEDICAL. The qualifier of requiring a medical if the last one was more than ten years old, and by implication, I...

We expected the PBOR to expand the LSA medical rules to lower-performance heavier-than-1320-pound aircraft. You know, like the ones we can rent and go places in? The amendments toss that idea aside...

EAA approves this useless bill as amended? And EAA claims to advocate for the pilot members? And wants to get us flying again? Some driver's license medical this is. All the member effort in...

Chris, that's exactly what I was referring to without mentioning the group by name. The gathering wasn't mine to organize, so I commented in the abstract. Didn't realize that the head count was...

I dream, too. Getting washed out of my campsite by thunderstorms. Very realistic.

A group of homebuilders I belong to has outgrown using a Camp Scholler campsite as a venue for a cookout one evening during the convention. Fellow who organizes out cookout approached EAA management...

Ted, I agree that we ought to join both organizations, for nothing else but to add to the weight of the head count of each. And I do maintain membership in both, but the EAA offers members...

I just read Rob Erdos' comments about his conversation with Mac over the content of Sport Aviation, and by implication, the future of EAA as seen through the eyes of the good and the great. I've...

I feel as if I was treated very fairly at those times when Mac has answered an email of mine to Sport Aviation, and at all hours of the evening, too. That fella works long hours for the EAA, and I...

Congressman and both Senators got sent messages this morning.

Another observation, not a gripe, particularly. I don't understand why there's a distinction among the trams. What happens if all the trams travel from Warbirds to Ultralights, stopping at all the...

Seeing as how Zack said that Responsible Folks actually read these comments, I'm repeating what I've said in years past, which didn't make a bit of difference.....Every year I use the showers in Camp...

does anyone know if the app is available at the 'app store' in Apple-land? Thanks!

Having no facts to support my comments, I think that a large portion of the members' pushback to EAA management was anger at disenfranchisement. Folks who identified themselves as the folks whose...

I need a fact adjustment. I thought Mr. Pelton is the delegate from the board of directors nominated to replace and fill-in temporarily as Hightower's replacement until such time as a new permanent...

Perhaps those of us who would applaud other departures from the organization and Sport Aviation in particular will have their hopes realized....

Considering how many hours the tool will be in use, going cheap is false economy. Getting the task done neatly and promptly would sure trump buying a cheaper tool. We all want to enjoy what we're...

A minute ago I noticed a featured slideshow of a beautiful and rare Buhl Air Sedan attending Airventure. Except for having NO pictures of the whole airplane, it was a nice group of detailed...

Documentation varies with the airplane's finish at the moment the picture was taken. Look above, the color picture has Duane's inverted fuselage logo on one side, the black and white picture has it...

For what value an second opinion has coming in out of thin air from someone whose experience and skill can't be judged, I agree with Turtle's advice. Costly torque wrenches still need to go to the...
