Awesome!

Congrats...huge accomplishment!

Dammit! I go on a 3 day trip and miss "open season on Chad".

Hilarious.


Joe


BTW, congrats and nice job on the canopy

CJ--

Keep that head up.

When your two wheels cross the TX state line, beer/CA Morgan is on me.

I've been thinking the same thing...

The hamster that powers the light build in my head is picking up speed. But obviously not enough speed. :o :wink: OUCH! After 7200 hrs, I'm trying to figure out how to land an airplane by not pulling BACK on the stick and you want me to worry about spelling? Besides, that was my subconscious typing...

Congrats!

I just had my second TW lesson this morning in a Decath. RWY 16, 190 15G25. Pretty much kicked my ass. Still had a lot of fun. The hamster that powers the light build in my head is picking up speed.

Congrats again

I am going to try and get to OSH for the first time since 1985...

Scheduling whims allowing, I'll be there.

I didn't explain that very well, sorry. They used to set up and ship the center section with the wing kit...I have one. When they switched to matched hole style kits for the -8 (2 summers ago?), the fuse kit now comes with a center section that will fit your wing...even if your wing came with it's o...

I thought this is why most of us come here?


Just kidding Spike...no I'm not Chad...yes I am Spike

That's definitely along the Bohnam arrival for DFW...right around the point when the vectoring starts for the south flow. Typically 5-7000' at that point, 210 KIAS so I think it's a visual quirk of the pic. I've looked a number of Air Force bases, airplanes on the ground. They all appear much smalle...

Cool! What are the chances?

That's what you get for dog-fighting in a fixed gear...not even any fairings!

Cool Vid!

Not to worry...it's ball-bearings. It's ALL ball-bearings these days.

I am actually surprized this guy lasted as long as he did without g-locking. I agree. He came REALLY close on a couple of them (about 2:20 looked real close) Been there before, not comfortable. The old "Funky Chicken". Of course, you don't really remember it, except for the guy sitting next to you ...
