Sounds like the pilot got a little helmet fire once the emergency was over. He kept trying to take the bait of “ground contact” when in IMC.

Hole / leather punch on a proper backing.

Both natural infection and the Pfizer vaccine induce T cell responses with memory T cell signatures. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/pfizer-vaccine-induces-immune-structures-key-to-lasting-immunity--68594/amp

Yes for almost all viruses repeated exposures result in a more robust and longer lasting memory response. For the second natural infections it seems like the second case is typically mild / self limited.

Dr Steingar. This is just not correct. Your supposition takes into /no/account the robustness or lack thereof of cellular immune response, (neutralizing) antibody titers, class switching, affinity or avidity of natural antibody responses against variant surface or other antigens. There’s a lot more to it than you’ve been infected therefore you’re immune. The prudent recommendation at this point is for COVID survivors / previously infected to get the vaccine in accordance with the CDC recommendation. - Dr. Podd.

I may have some information for you rich. I’ll PM.

I’m interested to know what the consent form entails. The one I signed indicated zero about sharing of medical records / HIPAA authorization. Nothint. The drugstores that are rolling out a big proportion of vaccines want to bill insurance, so I’m sure they ask for a blanket hipaa release just like a primary care doc would to be able to share the “record” with a third party payout.

Yeah we’ve been hesitant to get our little ones to the peds dentist - they have a big open space with a bunch of chairs and lots of spit flying everywhere. @Mcstealth flu cases. This is the lightest flu season observed in years (since robust tracking began). This is not unexpected. Flu testing is and has continued to be robust. Since November we’ve been using a quad test in our hospital - measures flu A, flu B, RSV and SARS-CoV-2. Last season (2019-2021) there were observed cases of coinfection of SARS-CoV-2 plus another virus including influenza. That’s been published. This year we didn’t really observe coinfections and our testing became more robust to detect more viruses simultaneously. There has been a single pediatric flu death this year in the entire US so far and we’re at the end of the endemic flu season. I used to have 1-2 kids per year die of flu at my small hospital. Big places you’d see 5-10. We had like a total of 6 cases of pediatric flu hospitalized this year. We usually have that many a week. So yes, there is less flu. You don’t misclassify influenza as Covid if that’s what your alluding to. The peds data alone refutes that hypothesis. Next year we’ll see flu increase again if mask mandates and social distancing wanes. The only other virus we’ve seen by PCR in any significant way is human rhinovirus. There’s some interesting stuff about rhino- you may be less likely to get COVID if you’re rhinovirus infected. That virus has mechanisms to inhibit replication or kick other virus out of cells. Kinda cool.

Mr Streingar this is not a correct statement. The recommendation is for those who have had COVID to still get the vaccine. There is emerging evidence that 1) a single dose may be sufficient (TBD) and that 2) the vaccine may protect above and beyond against variants at protective titers if you’ve had Covid and subsequently gotten vaccinated. Bonus is that your immune system would get three looks at the virus compared to some in who’s never had it. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/faq.html https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2777785

Yeah but the 5G is trying to interfere with my GPS

Be careful of the B nut when tightening or loosening - you can crack the line at the solder point at the neck.

I’ve had a couple fail. Usually it’s been the spring no longer holds.

Kinda off topic what’s yours floor in the extra room Rich? I need to pull the carpet in our upstairs.

Beechtalk has a spreadsheet that I keep on google drive offline access - but it just covers on airport for some in the NE. When flying - large airports will sometimes have food and lodging listed with distance from the airport. Perusing the firelight comments section also often gives hints as to courtesy car and food.

Fwiw my radio issues in the past have been solved by a multimeter ring out between the coax shield and the conductor - and/or- A little digital SWR meter

What are you looking for. I have a used 7 antenna but no guarantees on that one.

You are correct Mike. The repair with the permatex is anticipating that the sealed screw receptacle he’s been cracked. Resealing the nut plate will take care of the cracked plastic if you do it the “right way”. I believe dmax has an article on this.

I just want to be at gear extension speed on downwind. I’ve adopted Vmms for my base to final. All else is personal preference. And mixing in with the pattern traffic of course

There are examples of material bypassing a filter to reaggregate beyond.

I’d much rather land at an airport with functioning runway lights and no landing light than vice versa. I’ve scrubbed a few landings when I couldn’t get the lights to light up on the PCL- not something I’m comfortable with.

Yes James I think I’ve seen other pictures of your V tail here and there - looks like it should be on a Flying cover. Or a calendar.

Most people would say Joe hawk has a good reputation in FL.

@OSUAV8TER James those are pretty pictures. Are you doing any virtual or in person show discounts for SnF this week?

You can try permatex 3 on the bottom inspection panel - never worked for me, I wasn’t able to get it to set up with the tank wet. If you’re going to try permatex I’d recommend draining the tank to below that level and allowing it to “cure”. In the end we did it the right way- pulled the panel, cleaned and sealed it back using the inspection panel sealant (I can’t recall which Chemseal - there’s a list out there). Took about 2 hr for a single panel done the right way.
