Randy, who was the stupid one(s)? The plane taking off at 5:17 or the trucks chasing him down the runway thinking they could stop him?

I remember a TV commercial from many years ago that ended with Jack Palance saying, “Getting old isn’t for sissies.” I didn’t understand it then. I do now.;)
“Don’t get old folks;…”
Well…getting old beats the alternative.
Volunteering keeps the spirit young but the body will have different ideas.
Due to a series of unfortunate events, I was unable to get to OSH this year. The cameras and show coverage was awesome. It was almost like being there, without the heat, and able to immediately...

Out and back flights, I agree with the sentiment, but there are some practicalities. Most notable is that the formation flights have to be rehearsed. The morning is rehearsal time. There are also...
I definitely agree about the USAF’s 75th being the main event. You would never know it from what was displayed, flown and otherwise shown. From my perspective, no difference from previous years.

Todd, does Vintage have its own marshallers? Since Vintage has such a great reputation, it would surprise me that anyone working vintage would do that. I park in Warbirds and the flight line staff...
Good: with the notable exception of Saturday night (which I missed, waiting it out on the ground at DPA) the weather was great. A tad windy sometimes, but overall, great.
I greatly appreciated the...
Thanks for posting this. Very nice. I flew in there myself (for the second time) on Dec 17. Agree about the MSFS video being unnecessary. It would have been better to have actual in-flght video. That...
Arado AR-96. Luftwaffe's advanced trainer aircraft.
*Sigh* I have contracted for studies done by undergraduates (graduate students aren't much better). By the time the work was "complete" I felt like I should have charged the school for teaching fees....
:thumbsup: for Randy's meme. Hope to be able to find a seat on one of your trams, Randy.
I just saw that PilotEdge will run the simulated AirVenture approaches to OSH again July 14-18, again using real OSH controllers. They say that, when their NOTAM is published, it will use all of the...
Last time I posted on this I recommended flying the approach on a desktop flight simulator for practice. PilotEdge, working with NATCA, announced that they will have an updated system to what they...
Great tip!
This seems to be a very carefully worded letter that only makes things more confusing. The position that EAA. AOPA, and others, as referred to in the letter, is consistent with previous positions...
How about a handheld pump sprayer (with the Aviation grade Corrosion-X) or an empty Armor-All spray bottle? They handle some fairly thick stuff.
I carefully went over the order Bill so helpfully linked and then the subsequent CDC guidances publishers March 23 and May 13. Open air shuttles are never addressed and there is some room for debate...
I too remember having a good time at Buca Di Beppo, but in Indianapolis, so I looked it up. Buca Di Beppo in Appleton closed. As a chain, they are still open 72 locations across the United States,...
Thanks for posting this
That said, I have noticed over the past half dozen years or so that the mosquitos are much less of a problem than they were, say 10 years ago. I think that there must be some very effective mosquito...
Plus one to all of the above. I would add another suggestion. If you have access to a decent desktop flight sim program such as X-Plane or MSFS, AFTER you review the You Tube videos, put the NOTAM...
Yes, this is very cool!
I always opt for an IFR slot myself, but I do it so I know that I can get in. As you know, if the weather is better than 4500 and 5, you are supposed to cancel IFR and execute the VFR approach. That...
