Yep, he definitely would have had one if it were available at the time. Keeping basic airmanship skills sharp and maintaining proficiency with...

I know several good towbar/tie down stories. Since my tiedown story was in a 182 I’m gonna say it’s relevant to this thread.... One of my first...

Nobody's flaming anybody here, at least from my point of view!

Very true... On the other hand I’ve suffered some self-inflicted events that could have been avoided if someone had pointed out my error before...

Ha! Took me a minute to see it.. I remember learning that early on! And by learning it early on, I mean I got yelled at for doing it.........

Did the Cub with polyfiber, then did the Stinson with Stewart’s. Worked fine, per instructions and was really nice not dealing with the fumes.

Knew a guy with a 421 that wanted me to put him through our 135 training so he could feel confident in his abilities. First takeoff it was gear up,...

If I remember correctly, and I only heard it, never told it myself mind you..... but it was “south until you smell it, and east until you step in...

Got one of those calls the other day, the lady came on and asked me what year and make of car I wanted the warranty on. I told her it was a 1919...

Reminds me of the joke from the pipeline days about how you get to Texas from Alaska........

Used garbage bags on the skis many times, also in the 70’s and 80’s.... Worked well, also worked great as improvised rain coat with arm holes cut...

Unfortunate coincidence for sure.

I can’t believe he used the word impossible......

Ohhhh! Ahhhhh!

Looks like illegal taking of game...... fly hunt same day.....

It’s remarkable how much aviation history is around us. Worthy of its own thread for sure. The challenge will be getting people to tell stories about...

Well, thought I was done beating this horse but guess not. My reaction to the passion Turbo exhibited was due to the fact he wasn’t passionate about...

Beating a dead horse.... except this one appears to have got back up....

You’ll never regret going to a 182.

Brakes had a tendency to freeze at altitude in the jets. Several Global Express’s had issues on landing including at least one that went off a...

I always intentionally make “frozen brake” landings regardless of type aircraft or time of year.... That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.....

“End of the roaders” is an interesting phenomenon for sure. Flew quite a few SWAT team flights going after some of them. Anybody remember Gary...

Since I know Skywagon, and know he won’t bring it up, thought I’d mention he has quite a bit of certification flight test experience.

Ya think we should start a thread about Dodge vs. Chevy vs. Ford pickups? No, probably not. I doubt there would be much difference of opinion among...

Death gear. I like it. I think we should replace “legacy gear” with “death gear” going forward!

Yes, that’s one of our thoughts. We built new cowling and all new baffling when we hung the engine. No engine monitor but we are going to try and rig...

I posted a link to a story about the Bonanza issues early on. They also talk about the Cirrus. There are also SFAR’s for the R22 and the MU-2. All of...

I do run camguard. I used to read the threads about sticking valves and additives and be thankful I didn’t have to deal with that. Then, overhaul...

I run both auto and 100LL, depending on what I can get. I’ve never run any fuel additives, but now I am using mmo.
