Highs: Realizing everyday how wonderful my wife is, how supportive she is, how much she loves me and how much I love her. Lows: I have terminal cancer and might only have weeks left to enjoy her. SmugMug

And you never know what the guy before you did with/to the airplane. SmugMug

But should always be 10-15% of total trailer weight. SmugMug

Having to shoot a guy that tried to stab me. SmugMug

Looks ok but it's going to be noisy. Flew a couple 206s for quite a bit. One almost that stripped, the other with a bit of interior....the stripped one was painful without a headset. SmugMug

You might also consider it's properties when burning. SmugMug

I haven't flown either a P-38 or A-26 but I do have time in a B-24 and B-17. The control forces can be significant on airplanes of that vintage, there is no hydraulic or other assist. I would have concerns about someone that needs a walker to get around. SmugMug

Interesting since the first year for the 182 is 1956. :) SmugMug

I stopped a tandem master getting in my 206 one day with his leg straps no on. SmugMug

That right there is the answer.... you get all those hours... for "free" that many parlay into better ratings and a real job with an airline..... Those "free" hours I'm getting I get only because I paid to get my Private and then Commercial tickets....they ain't free. SmugMug

I'm surprised the FAA allowed him to fly the airplane. There has been lots of grief over that last several years just keeping the US built warbirds in the air. SmugMug

Fake….and an old one at that. SmugMug

Depends on the airplane. Landed the B-24 in Baton Rouge with 28G36 80 degrees to the runway…wing low to counter wind with the slip, rudder (and differential power) to keep the fuselage aligned with the runway. Of course the Liberator sets tall on the gear and doesn't have any of those disgusting kerosene burning things hanging below the wing. :) SmugMug

Those new serial numbers were Air Force SNs, not builders. SmugMug

Mustang production stopped in 1945. SmugMug

Different BBD. This one was owned by Ed Shipley, don't know who has it now. Once offered to trade my wife for a ride in that airplane….the pilot (I think it was Ed) paused a moment then said "Is she free and clear? No liens?" :) SmugMug

Had gotten off the highway to do some photography a couple weeks ago. After shooting some pics I thought I'd take a leak before continuing the drive. Just minding my own biddness and a grizzly stood up about 15' in front of me. Nice bear, easy bear. It was a L O N G 30' to my truck. SmugMug

Since he has actually read the FAR. Parachutes only required if you have passengers. Solo you can do what you want without a parachute. SmugMug

No issues with 8.1 on my Mac using Bootcamp to boot in Windows. A caveat, I do very little in Windows….one game actually…but haven't had any issues. It's ugly as hell, but seems to work okay. SmugMug

I used to travel 10 months out of the year, about 130 stops a year, 3 days per stop...that's a lot of motels/hotels. I never left anything worth stealing in the room. I did notice that quite often my suitcase would be opened and rifled through. You pretty much can't trust anyone. SmugMug

Or he was wanting to rip you off, the "gift" is just in case he gets talk -- already has his excuse made up. I would have drug him to the front desk and got the HMFIC address the issue. SmugMug

That comment is incorrect. It was video of a submarine launched missle with the F-15 dubbed in. SmugMug

Nice. Where do you keep it? Seward, Alaska. That photo was taken in Prince William Sound last month, the wife and I spent 10 days cruising the area. This coming Sunday we're doing another 10 days probably in the Kenai Fjords area. SmugMug

Oh, I'd love to get a ride on one!! But for looks I prefer my boat.... SmugMug
