Here's the thread that pissed him off... Just thought you might want to know. I'll miss you guys too. Hank, I'll find you at the Summit for that beer. Kevin knows me. I'll be wearing the MAGA t shirt.

I'm outta here, admin considers my post abusive. I've enjoyed my time here. See you all at Mooney Summit.

This is video of the fire, it's scarry how fast the intensity of the fire grows. Sorry if this is a repost from gsengle, I dont facebook.

I dont think so. N number corresponds to a Neil Johnson via Google. Here is the pic from Flight Aware...

Looks like this could be the plane.

Sobering and a good refresher. Thanks for posting.

LOl, "Jim I know you're kind of busy but I'm real busy over here too." Newspaper headline "Continental pilot arrested for jamming pencil into Captain's eye"

Count me in.

I'm good as long as this rain moves out.

Ha, funny thats the way we always sang it. Supposed to be revved up like a deuce.

Go get yourself some Cheap Sunglasses....

This is pretty cool... I have a greater respect for the old Air Tractor, I think I want one now.

Have to recoup that $10.5 million.

I don't know about that. We rigged my "F" according to the book procedures and it was dead-on the first flight.

More like north central FL. Raptor is closer to the gulf side, but transitioning FL east to west is a cake walk for a Mooney. I plan on being at the Summit.

That's not acceptable! Come on down Hank, we'll hook you up with some good ole southern cookin'.

I'm in Friday or Saturday.

Williston is between our home dromes, kind of a mid way point. Nice restaurant on the field and cheap fuel.

Sweet, looks like the whole town of Suwanee turned out. Nice job!

Let me know if you need a hand. Thursday works for me. Hector, you coming?

Well I found the answer... large foreign companies continue to reap most of the taxpayer-funded benefits for wind. As stated in this Newsweek article. http://www.newsweek.com/whats-true-cost-wind-power-321480

So is the Raptor flying now? Let's meet for lunch at Williston.

Looks like the taxpayer has taken another one right up the keister.

Damn, I haven't encountered windmills until last week when we flew from Dayton to Cumberland. There must be tens of thousands of them in WV alone and a large percentage aren't windmilling. How much did that cost us taxpayers? Who pocketed the $$? They can't be cheap to produce and certainly not cheap to install or maintain. IMG_0270.MOV

OK, here's what I found out today. Took a sample to Sheltair and my line guy says this isn't avgas. He smells it and it smells like avgas. We then sump some directly from the truck and it is clear as well. I called AvFuel corporate and talked to the 100ll representative and here is what I learned. 1. Use a large GATS type jar for best results. Volume is important in determining color. I'm using a narrow sump tube. 2. Blue color is directly tied to the lead. Blue hue will vary as the blend changes from summer to winter. 3. The alkalyd (expensive ingredient) can have differing hues which will cause the blue to change. Someitmes the alkalyd will have a yellow color and when mixed with the blue turns the fuel greenish. 4. The proper way to check for color is to sump a quart and view it in a white porcelain bowl, not plastic. 5. Avgas, when mixed with jetA does not turn clear, it most likely will turn greenish, a result of blue and yellow. 6. There is a maximum amount of dye permitted in 100 ll but no minimum. 7. UV light exposure will clear the dye.
