  1. In the video in this article, there appear to be two good chutes and a U-2 in a spin. The "Sutter Buttes" are a group of peaks that rise out of the Sacramento Valley. http://www.kcra.com/news/harrowing-witness-video-shows-u2-spy-plane-crash-in-sutter-buttes/41748404
  2. When you form an LLC, you must obtain a EIN (Employer's Identification Number) from the IRS. You can do this online. You will have to select that you want your LLC to be treated as an S-Corp or a Corporation. In most cases you would not want to be treated as a "Corporation." I recommend LegalZoom, however I formed my LLC in Florida via the state's website and cut out the middle man. This was after consulting with a business attorney and a CPA. They both said LLC.
  3. I have a friend whom I have known since high school in the 60s who was a shipmate of Kerry's on a destroyer. He told me Kerry was very vocal about hating Jews. Does a zebra change its stripes? Who knows. My friend retired as an O-5.
  4. I can't find this posted before so here is the skinny. Veterans Day offers a reminder of the service and sacrifice of America’s military personnel. AOPA is honoring the service of active-duty military members by offering them a complimentary one-year membership in the association. AOPA announced the offer in May as part of an effort to reach out to members of the military and support their flying goals. The association offers resources for pilots of all stripes, whether they fly recreationally or for the military. If you know someone in the military who would enjoy an AOPA membership, please share the offer. http://www.discoveraopa.org/aopamilitaryaopapilotmagad?cmp=ET:Mltry:01
  5. Good questions. Their website is focused on the European ULM specifications, so kind of apples/oranges. It can easily meet the US LSA standards (different prop) and will likely be the only amphibious LSA that will meet the Vh speed due to its very low drag (no sponsons). Thank you for the survey.
  6. It is close to certification under EASA/ULM. Their website doesn't tell the complete story. The Vh speed restriction under U.S. S-LSA rules is easy to comply with and the prop is ground adjustable. You can learn more here www.surveymonkey.com/sunnfun.
  7. This is what you want. It's faster than the A5 (maximum allowed by LSA rules) and doesn't need a support trailer because the range on 25 gallons of car/marine gasoline or 100LL is about 1,000 miles. It is not only amphibious but also has snow skis that retract with the gear. Akoya by LISA Airplanes
  8. Live Pentagon press conference confirming Boeing.
  9. Fantastic, Boeing wins one for the home team.
  10. Hmmm, no discussion here of the flight crew. Yea, I bet it was a bitch for the pilots, Sarah Lemmon and my friend Jim Bland. They were dealt a shit sandwich with a blown tire in a Lear that has piss-poor brakes and no protection from the damage that follows a blown tire event, all by design. This airframe had less than 200 hours total time. I have known Jim for 25+ years. He recently retired after a long career as a pilot with CBP, formerly US Customs Air Support. We flew together in Hueys supporting the drug wars back in the 80s. Jim was a standup guy and leaves a 16 year old daugher Erin and lovely wife Ann. I did not know Sarah but I know a few people who do and she was very well liked and respected as a pilot. RIP Jim and Sarah.
