  1. I would submit that there are MANY teachable moments in this scenario, but ultimately if you fly over water...especially cold water why not have a raft and minimally a PFD with an inflator? What is your life worth?
  2. Did someone say Danger Zone?
  3. I appreciate your clarification. You do not have any hindsight (based on information provided by pilot) concerns regarding his decision making? I accept that, if the answer is “I have no concerns”, but I just don’t agree with your assessment. I am VERY glad that he and his passenger are safe. Anything that doesn’t kill you is an opportunity to learn. I saw ZERO reflection into why his decisions were flawed and what he learned from the event. What I saw was “this is why I did what I did”. I am in the market for another Beech...
  4. Paul, That is kind of a passive aggressive B.S. statement isn’t it? I respect you as somebody that accepts the increased risk that comes from formation flying. This pilot flew after multiple sumps with contamination over the ocean with a passenger without any floatation devices. Would I fly with this guy? NOPE.
  5. Yes it is. I am fine with that as I play in this sandbox and do not really care if I am censored.
  6. Not going to Beechtalk, but would be interested in your sharing the input that makes “it” 5x better. Not being snippy I would genuinely appreciate the cross-sharing.
  7. This just in: Verizon being sued by Cirrus for new slogan: “Call early...Call often”. Film at 11. We return you now to your broadcast in progress.
  8. Passenger got more than she bargained for. That guy owes his friend in the 172 and the U.S. Coast Guard his and his companions life. I hope he pays it forward... I could judge, but I will not. Glad they survived. Sad the Beech did not.
  9. Maybe some of the resident keyboard wizard sleuths can identify how he acquired a Beech and then became a U-Boat Captain.
  10. Guy seems legit to me. Nothing to see here. Move along...
  11. In another “time” I would of jumped on your comment, but going to come close to the -a- school of “just let it go” by saying “I saw what you did there”...
  12. 24-1054 Brian
  13. Must be ‘82 because our ‘81 has fixed rear seat back.
  14. Love ‘em both.
  15. So this seems like a good value vs. the first plane is a HUGE question mark on the engine.
  16. Looks like an awesome day! Their expressions on take-off are priceless. Well done! You are the bringer of fun.
  17. No, not really to your last question. Speed control and full flaps are my “secrets” to consistent quality landings that give gentle nods from the co-pilot/critiquer in charge.
  18. No worries Tom. You and I were both where we needed to be. Sorry for delay, missed this post until now. I hope to be Up North a lot in September and October. Hopefully with new ride and the sale of our E a bittersweet memory...
  19. -a- Google search used with positive effect.
  20. As always just callin’ ‘em as I sees ‘em. I still get called out for one thread years later even though I deleted all my posts including the original.... My comments were defining only his content in THAT post.
  21. PeeVee the Cirrus driver should of been named Dick in that thread.
  22. Nevermind. Answered by a 2017 post.
  23. How do these feed? Do they flow into main tank? (YES) Is there a one way valve? (NO) Thanks. Curious as I have them now.
  24. Based on your PM you threaded the needle beautifully. Well done! Gorgeous plane inside and out. Enjoy!
  25. Thanks for input. Personally I would/will spend the AMU’s sorting airframe and engine as well as an auto-pilot upgrade before a gps navigator/com.
