This should be in bonfire, but anyways. I'm sure you could get a deal on it. http://www.trade-a-plane.com/detail/aircraft/Multi+Engine+Piston/1970/Aerostar/601/2076612.html "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

Longmont City Council will take up skydiving noise
theonlyski replied to stratostar's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Not if she does her job properly. https://www.instrumart.com/products/24262/extech-407732-sound-level-meter The only issue I would have with someone using that is I am fairly certain that it just measures any levels of sound, instead of being able to isolate the otter. It's quite possible that a bird or lawn mower or freeway would register a loud enough signal on the meter without being the otter that's flying overhead.

My money is on the nutjobs claiming that the otter is flying quieter during the observation period if the judge says it's not nearly as bad as they're making it out to be.

I had a SA2-190 and a SA2-170 that both had the hunting and end cell closures. Only once on the 190 did it almost get chopped because of a severely deflated set of cells on one side, but I got it worked out. I got used to the end cell closures as it just usually meant letting it fly for a few seconds or throwing some rear risers in, but eventually got tired of it and got a Safire2-169 with an oversized slider. Haven't had any issues with it hunting or having end cell closures (at least not as bad as the SA2's). Much nicer openings too.

Much better video: http://denver.cbslocal.com/2015/04/13/longmont-resident-in-lawsuit-calls-skydiving-plane-penetrating-debilitating/ I appear twice (briefly) in it. Oh, and the reporter is a *babe*, who looks much better in person! I'm trying to take notes of it all, but hell, I could write an article just on the first day. Glad to see there are supporters there for the DZ. Ingrid Moore is an interesting person. Her house was built in 2001, 5-6 years after the DZ opened there, yet she complains about it? Also interesting that she lives less than a mile from the airport but complains about airplane noise.

Optical illusion: Is this cat going up or down the stairs?
theonlyski replied to Squeegle's topic in The Bonfire
Well, I have some fucked up stairs in that case... (Yes, with a "lip" on top.) The attached picture is taken from the TOP of my stairs. Yes, the hideous sideboards give it away somewhat but they just as easily could not have been there (everything in my house is DIY - with varying degrees of wrongness...). Just curious, did you crop that picture to keep your toes from being on DZ?

http://www.timescall.com/longmont-local-news/ci_27904056/trial-opens-lawsuit-against-longmonts-mile-hi-skydiving Looks like they're in court for it this week. I'd be interested to hear if anyone is attending and how it's going. Scheduled for the whole week apparently. That video at the bottom of the article is special too.

NTSB probable cause: Selfie-induced stall-spin crash

NTSB probable cause: Selfie-induced stall-spin crash
theonlyski replied to ryoder's topic in The Bonfire
Exactly. Malfunctioning mode C is not too rare of an occurrence. I've seen aircraft at 3500' show FL 295. I've said "stop altitude squawk" many times. And as a controller I was happy to call a harmless altitude busts "mode C malfunctions". It avoided a lot of paperwork for the pilot and most pilots seem to learn from it without "coaching and counseling" from FSDO. I've had my Mode-C show me at just about exactly 300' off on a 7 hour IFR trip. Apparently 300' off is when the controllers start asking to verify altitude (get to your assigned altitude).

A CFI once told me if I ever get into a plane crash and I get out of the plane, but it's on fire, throw my log book in, just in case I wasn't current or legal. Also had a CFI tell me that if I got the dreaded 'call the tower' notice during my solo flights, to give them the name of a flight instructor that no longer worked at that school.

Now that the FAA has made a determination that adding a gopro to an airplane in many cases doesn't require formal documentation, people are strapping them on in record numbers. At least there will be plenty of evidence now...

Agree totally. A midnight flight into a 300 foot stratus deck without being current is what the stupid thing was. This thing is more like JFK, Jr. Notably there was no physical evidence that a camera was used in that flight. Probably was, though. But selfies do sound sexy With the exception that at least this guy held an instrument rating. So what? He was operating VFR from runway 26 in IMC below IFR minimums for that runway, with no IFR flight plan, uncurrent, at night... I have an instrument rating and am both instrument and night current, and I wouldn't do it. I'm not saying that it was smart or legal, just that he did have an instrument rating whereas JFK Jr didn't. 300' ceilings at night in a 150 isn't somewhere I'd want to be. I am current and wouldn't want anything to do with that, and I wouldn't be anywhere in the air with that weather if I wasn't on a flight plan and going somewhere important.

Get a decent HD 1080p TV with a few HDMI ports (figure one port per dvd player, sat/cable tuner, gaming console, roku/appletv etc) and make the move to HDMI. It's very simple to set up and much less wiring than composite. As far as what KIND to get, well... Plasma's are HEAVY and they're falling out of the market. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2387377,00.asp These guys can explain it far better than I can.
