when it comes time to stop flying in 20 years, I'll scrap it.

such a nice bird and trouble free but too many Trumpsters from Empire (Y87, the RV7 guy) trying to damage it.

well, it is a mystery at this point. https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/194008/pdf On March 29, 2024, about 1130 eastern daylight time, an Experimental Amateur Built Vans RV9A airplane, N387E, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident ...

what's airborne at 6PM EDT....

Downtown Cincinnati (KLUK).... a short hop for me but better than driving, as there is no direct route, and driving there seems to take forever. a nice day but very warm for mid-April in Cincy, 30C (86F), with sweat in my eyes for takeoff from LUK. the old terminal at LUK closed when they closed the...

trying an advertised comatose heat level along with the tabasco base and scorpion. well, the BEWARE sauce taste was very good, and I detected tomato which I liked, but they could bump up the heat level. perhaps a triple comatose? https://i.postimg.cc/qqxDMzq2/IMG20240414100729.jpg https://i.postimg....

what's flying at 9AM EDT on a Sunday morning? RV's amount to 1 percent of these. a big 1 percent. if you remove the 12's you are down to 0.5 percent. that barely registers and from a data perspective is insignificant. perhaps configuring the engine to be close to 99 percent of what's flying would be...

well, the ole steep takeoff got another one. the pilot is lucky to have survived. usually, they don't. the passenger was not injured. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/386590 A Van's RV-4 conducted a steep takeoff and departed controlled flight after an attempted turn to the runway at Tedderfield...

what's flying at 8PM EDT on a Saturday on FlightAware. I am beginning to wonder why RV's rarely fly. if you are flying your RV, most likely you are the only one airborne of that type, except for the RV-12. perhaps folks are under the plane admiring the clean belly or shining the paint. I believe the...

Columbus Indiana (BAK).... after five days of rain, time to break free. I rode around the loop around the city and saw some of the highlights. very nice. Columbus Indiana is a very nice place and seemed healthy. lots of people out and about and the kids were outside playing soccer, not video games. ...

8AM EDT on a Saturday morning. getting ready for a flight-bike ride to work the body. maybe I will bump into a hot mature babe. :) Tinlicker - Blowfish (live at Roundhouse 2023) https://youtu.be/GRiQhj2ZZAE?si=F0wThNp_QM7I5OKC ************** taking a look at what's in the air now.... 7 RV12 Van's RV...

well, the engine needs all of the specified bolts or it is not going to be pretty. I am not sure what you do to mitigate these kinds of risks other than watch the engine overhaul in person. a missing engine bolt is like a ticking time bomb. from what I can see of the accident site, he was an above a...

well, perhaps carb ice or something else. the plane was not flown much, perhaps that was a contributing factor. previous incident required landing on a road in 2016, photo. this time it was more serious, no photo. I liked the paint. next time.... perhaps keep it over the airport, if possible, for a ...

Flightaware for what's reporting airborne at 3PM today.... puts it in perspective. 1 RV14 Van's RV-14 1 RV6 Van's RV-6 1 RV8 Van's RV-8 2 RV10 Van's RV-10 3 RV7 Van's RV-7 3 RV12 Van's RV-12 74 C152 Cessna 152 1232 B738 Boeing 737-800 1094 A320 Airbus A320 perhaps configuring the engine close to a C...

double the bean and tomatoes. weight was just over 1 1/2 lbs. probably for the same money as a McDonalds BB.

well, the NTSB does not believe cannabis was the root cause of this accident, but rather spatial disorientation. a busy area, close to controlled airspace, low clouds, no instrument rating ... makes you wonder why he continued into that for sightseeing. The National Transportation Safety Board deter...

I need to get back to San Diego for breakfast burritos. all the taco shops making BB's in the morning. the absolute best BB I ever had was in Denver at DJ's (I will never forget that first day) but now they are closed. I want to go on a BB tour. stay with bacon, sausage is not the solution because i...
