  1. 5/7/2011, right behind you.
  2. I wear special undergarments fashioned from rolled aluminum sheeting to protect my vitals.
  3. I bought my F with a RayJay mostly just because I wanted to. It is about 10-20% practical. I fly KTOR->KLZU or KJMS->KLZU couple times a year. I can make that non-stop some times due to tail wind (80+ knots kind of thing) coupled with TAS (160-170kts at FL190). I have also beat headwinds by going up. I came out of NW Indiana once and went to FL250 and took 30 mins off my trip because 30KT direct headwind flipped to a 30KT direct tailwind (or something like that). It has helped me on occasion top some weather. You can climb over a FL430 cell but they don't get that wide, if you get up around FL190 or so you can see them and navigate around them in VMC. It will keep about a 500FPM climb all the way up to FL210 it gets slower in the climb because you have to keep reducing pitch to keep up cooling. CHT becomes a challenge. You will need to run full cowl flaps open and 1-2GPH richer than normal. I have once or twice over the years seen the mags get funky (non-pressurized) but nothing crazy. The controls get mushy at FL210, I have had mine to FL250. FL190-210 is where it generally likes to be. Honestly from a logical perspective it probably isn't that useful if you are flat lander. You need to really be going far (to make up for the time to climb) and have a good tail wind to make it worthwhile. When it works out though you can hit 260KTS ground speed. If you live with mountains it probably is more useful (KTOR is 5000' so I use it on take off as example and no issue being at MTOW).
  4. To be clear, it’s a cigar lighter.
  5. The thread corroded into nothing.
  6. I would go one step further which is pull and check each breaker. 123.0 my radios sound awful if my WX-900 is on as example.
  7. Guardian CO2 interfaced into my MVP-50. Open the door on taxi with a tail wind and it works every time.
  8. I am aware of the restrictions on basic medical. I own a turbo charged plane myself. As a 55yr old male there is zero chance I would ever do class 3 again. If the doc raises the issue the OP states, I go to another doctor and get a medical. If you do what the OP does now you at best get an SI. I see no point in a GA pilot getting a 3rd class or better anymore aside from the first one which you need. High risk of never flying again to go to Canada with 6 people at FL190.
  9. Thus basic med. I dream of flying my plane to Mars, but mostly I just fly it to cheeseburgers.
  10. For 99% it is Canada, Mexico, and Bahamas with the latter being the largest and they accept basic med.
  11. I am more curious as to why anyone wouldn’t be flying under basic med.
  12. This, zero reason to get anything else.
  13. I had mine pop open once at the hold short line. I debated for about 10 seconds on whether to send the boy out of the copilot seat to close it, hit the parking brake and close it, or shut down and close it. I chose the latter. I do though have the fly around the pattern with your baggage door open medal.
  14. Just iron out the wrinkles and that is good for another 1000hrs.
  15. You have achieved 45yrs ago that which can barely be achieved with a 1.15 ratio, bravo seriously you should do this professionally.
  16. My 1987 FZR1000 which was a monster and it was 11.2 with a pro driving, I was a good second slower. The Ducati Panigale is low 9’s. What were you running to get 9.2 for a 77?
  17. Seems to me there is a much stronger case to take Irene’s car than the airplane. At minimum why not take both. I will stand by there is something more to the story than the internet provides, my tinfoil hat never fails me.
  18. You had me at blonde and debrief.
  19. The pilot didn’t but the beer, never flew to the dry city, etc. I wasn’t asking a question I was making the point it seems fishy. The two individuals who apparently purchased the beer, had apparently intent to bring it to the dry town, etc. received no charges.
  20. Seems to me Helene and Irene are the perpetrators here and yet received no charges. So no it doesn’t really clear it up.
  21. This is true in a lot of reference books as well. It’s a good tool. In the example we are discussing here it read court transcripts, newspapers, etc. It couldn’t determine the facts and was clear about it, I couldn’t draw conclusions from the feedback it presented either. Caveat emptor applies just as much now as it did two thousand years ago. AI though is a wildly powerful tool and we use it for analytics heavily in my field these days, its ability to sift data and give guidance is nothing short of magical.
  22. ChatGPT is a powerful tool, you should learn how to leverage it.
  23. I made the impossible turn once with Penny Benjamin, my RIO got a great Polaroid of it.
  24. I guess my question is how do you prove intent and when is intent a crime and when is it not. The whole story seems really fishy and I tried a million different ways to get ChatGPT to figure it out but nothing concrete.
  25. If it weren’t for these spammers I would never have learned how to change my flight on Ethiopian Airways.
