Selfie?

Don't know about making the back taller, but several people here added headrests from their local junkyard; seems a particular Toyota model has the correct spacing between support rods, and they drop right into seats that have not previously had headrests.

Nice! Here's hoping it will work with my Halos . . . .

You should be good for a decade or more if she's only two. The problem is short-term, as toys are very large at this stage but will soon shrink. Back seat legroom won't be an issue until she's in high school or later, unless she grows tall like her father.

No one riding free in my backseat has ever complained . . . .

And how many of their passengers who were along on that last ride ever got into another small plane . . . .

Please let us know what you hear / find out. Halon is pricey, expires and is getting hard to find.

My C has useful of 970, and I've only been there when flying with 4 adults. With Operation Airdrop, I landed at Raleigh with almost 600 lb available, the only single listed with more than 300 lb. But I filled up well before hitting max weight . . . . Not sure how an E weighs almost 1850 lb! Was the plane correctly leveled prior to weighing, with all "stuff" taken out, carpets washed and dried, plane washed and dried, wheel wells cleaned out, etc.? Otherwise I'm baffled . . . .

Sorry, but I'm fresh out of family-friendly adjectives to describe this . . . . . . But back in the day, my dad had a truck painted in company colors, "affectionately" described as Mustard & Custard. It wasn't attractive even then . . . . .

That's fairly accurate, depending on the individual company's Workman's Comp insurance and the level of health insurance offered to its employees. Just leave off the rest of your post, please . . . .

That'll get factory volume up! So are the (growing) numbers of replacement million-dollar Cirri driving up all of GA's insurance more than the occasional $50K Mooney gear up?

The Caravan practices some, at many locations, then flies once. Practice amount is highly variable between pilots. Blues practice hours a day for weeks before the season starts, and continue to practice between several dozen shows. Each show has double or triple the flight time of the Caravan. There is no comparison . . . .

Don't worry about that, Clarence. Even you can't afford the fuel to fly your beast that far . . . .

I'd still check that. The Owners Manual for my C says 18.2 gph at sea level, WOT / 2700; I can't imagine that your J is happy with less fuel, since it's supposed to make 10% more power.

WAR EAGLE!!!

As technology improves to make an activity (choose one) safer, the humans doing that activity modify their behavior to include more risk, resulting in little to no safety improvement. Welcome to the discovery of Human Nature!

The point trying to be made is that even some of the stupid pilot tricks are recoverable / can be saved without pulling the chute. Rather like the Cirrus guy who got in a kerfluffle, pulled the red handle, fired rockets, deployed drogue then recovered and landed at an airport with the still-bundled-up chute dragging on the runway behind him. Every chute pull would not have been a fatal accident without the chute.

My bladder isn't what wants to get up and walk around! I get restless and cramped after a while.

No extensions for GA because we're all rich airplane owners. But airlines with 8 or 9-digit quarterly profits all get extensions just by asking . . . .

That's respectable right there! I try not to go much over 4 hour legs, may need to redo the seats if it gets regular since there's no aisle to walk around in.

It all depends on your flight path. KAUO-->33A is right over KATL, going around the Bravo adds ~25 mins. Since it goes to 13K, over the top isn't much of an option in my C. VFR: "stay out of the Bravo" (NOT "remain clear".) IFR: it's always HEFIN or CINKA (sometimes Approach is nice and lets me choose which one). Like the rest of Atlanta, there's too many transplanted Yankees in ATL Approach . . . .

Some of us aren't planning to equip. ATL won't let me i side the Bravo anyway, unless my destination is there (hasn't been so far . . . ). Since I already can't play, I'm not gonna pay to keep not playing.

@carusoam, the second link in both of your posts returns "Server Error in '/' Application", followed by a screenful of tiny writing. That's why I looked for the link. Maybe your link only works for i-things and not my 'droid?

So which facts are wrong? Does the Caravan fly more than once a year? Does the whole group practice together, in the air, before going to Osh? I did study up on the pre-formation-training Caravan, as i had a decent shot at attending when based in WV. Now scheduling is somewhat more difficult . . . And the timing interferes with the CFO's annual family confab at the beach [tyoically 50-60 people]. Oh, I did discover that it's 61nm KMSN-KOSH, so 30 minutes is pretty close, takeoff to touchdown. With all the ground time, pilots probably log an hour, more so for those at the back. But the flight itself is still only about 30 minutes. This reminds me of a friend who invited me to join the Masons. I said "what do you do?" His answer, like yours, was "join and find out." My answer was "I don't have time to join every group I hear about to find out what they do and if I'll enjoy it. I find out first; if it sounds like a good fit, I'll go visit; if it's good, I'll stay and join." So thanks for your kind offer to join up and find out what it's like, but I don't have time to join even every flying group that I hear about to see what each one is like and if it's a good match for me . . . .

Scroll tomthe bottom of any page. Under the bright white "MORE INFORMATION" heading is a tiny little word "shop." That's the Mooney swag link to the Speed Shop. Real obvious and easy to find, isn't it? I thought I had seen it before, but had to look to find it now.
