I learned in a Supercub that had a 135HP Lycoming...it was a beast and I thought normal ops for a Cub. There is NOTHING like slipping a Cub (or other taildragger), over the tree to a greaser one wheel landing on the grass....best if done at Sunset. I am currently shopping airpark runway options. I looked at a 5280' grass strip on 80 acres two weeks ago. Looking at 361 acres this week.

Airmen plead guilty to false statements in shooting that suspended M18 "Details about his death were released for the first time Friday, including that the alleged shooter, Marcus White-Allen, had pointed the gun at Lovan’s chest in a “joking manner.” White-Allen after the shooting allegedly urged the other two surviving airmen to lie about what happened, according to the statement."

Cruiser was confirmed today...god help those still on active duty.

Where? Always looking for cheap .223. Also, just bought my first AK...had no idea 7.62 ammo was so expensive these days, I always thought it was cheaper than .223. War in Ukraine?

I would say "it depends." Like it or not College Football generates a LOT of money. Some of those funds are then used to subsidize other sports. If using tax payer dollars then I would prefer to see an analysis of the funds generated hiring a high power coach. Using Coach Prime as an example...horrible coach, but the reputation and "hope" resulted in several seasons of sold out games, increased TV coverage, merch sales that greatly increase AD revenue of the U of C. Interestingly the big buy outs are now being paid by the boosters, in several cases buy a single booster. Break Break - add another one to the list, Hugh Freeze finally got canned by Auburn yesterday. A $15.8M buyout to walk away. This situation does lead to some irony like Will Muschamp trolling the Gamecocks by posting a picture form the stands celebrating as his son helps Vanderbilt beat the team that paid him $13M to leave.

There is no limit to TDS.

The Gators got screwed....that was totally a catch. I was pulling for them!

I am a weather geek and always wondered what it would be like to be a Hurricane Hunter. For those who followed Hurricane Melissa which is the third strongest hurricane on record (892MB and still intensifying at landfall), the NOAA and USAFR Hurricane Hunters had a constant presence as the storm built and hit Jamaica and Cuba. USAFR flies a fleet of 10 WC-130Js and NOAA operates two PC-3's. One of the P-3s (named Kermit), was flying a mission during the rapid intensification. As they departed the eye and flew into the eyewall they encountered what looks to me like extreme turbulence. Ultimately they elected to depart the storm because of the turbulence ..something that rarely happens. Video below shows what must have been a tense ride. Note the engineer working the throttles...or trying to while getting tossed around. AQP1zLdnXrSgI_2_OBE_F0hhLxJeGO4jFK1eae_iKwtS_ust8aU-GrgMjUvsO9FJVYVRDFgG7Q7fe2AYKxCS-1egSOsuHaBH7rl8OO9TGvWqRQ.mp4

US Navy helicopter and fighter jet crash in separate incidents in the South China Sea Blackhawk and Hornet down within 30 minutes. Possibly bad fuel...

My son was texting me non-stop "Mario will not stop running up the middle!" I get his dedication the run game and it paid off versus Stanford with 42 unanswered points but against better teams it keeps the game to close early and lets momentum and chance dictate the outcome. I think Pitt is a trap game for us. Break Break - Brian Kelly out at LSU. He will get $800K a month as part of his $57M payout. And of course Kiffin is in the driver's seat.

Zeroed in my MPX yesterday, this thing drives nails at 50M.

Looks like @M2 started a new business. I've seen the Helo hog hunts but using a suppressed SAW from the back of a pickup truck is a new level of fun. @M2 can we put the SAW in the Helo?

Engine quit....again. Oddly, no....well sort of. Has been flying with an Air Tractor STC that is now an issue.
