Oh, man, now we’re getting into Philadelphia Lawyering……. MTV

Yep, there are some really dumb policies in place right now. MTV

We've done a few formation flights since ADS-B, and I specifically inquired of ATC if this procedure is still required. Yep. It was interesting to...

When Aviat changed the indexing of the props on Huskys, I enquired of the factory why they did so. The response was that Lycoming told them that the...

The actual weight on certified scales of the Rossi Fernandez skis on my last Husky was 78 pounds. These were certified skis. MTV

After Taylorcraft Boy bailed out for click bait, and was revoked, the FAA really couldn't pass on this one.....and well deserved. MTV
