warsitz, people, like myself can get a little emotional around this time of year.

Very informative post. And you Father's contribution to aviation history is amazing.

Your timing was off a little......that's all. IMHO

No one said all Germans were Nazis. And you'll have to forgive us for being a little emotional about the "German War Machine" subject around Remembrance day Brewguy, but a few of our family members (couple million) may have been killed defending the world against Germany for the second time in 50 ye...

What possible good can come from posting this on November 12? At least you waited 1 day....

No one will deny the advances the Germans made during that time, but....is this the time to discuss it? Very mature.


iflyforpie said it best.

They are talking about JetA and JetA1. Not all locations do the pre-blend but ALOT do. Most oil companies forbid that process and can't believe it's still done at all.

They have been pre-blending it during the truck filling process :( This is bad because prist is heavier than Jet fuel and the prist will pump out in higher concentrations for the first few fuellings than the last. They will now inject it by request in the perfect 1 part per 1000 formula using a sepa...

N.I.M.B.Y.

Companies like Thielert who adapt automotive like technology into aircraft diesel engines are trying too hard. Just like Porsche did with the PFM. It will not work in aviation. look at the company called SMA engines. They produce direct drive, horizontally opposed heavy fuel engines that are more li...

Hedley is right. FOR NOW the gasser engines are here to stay in General Aviation. They are cheap and reliable, but inefficient. The JetA fuelled engines will come though. As production of Avgas WILL be phased out in time.

Mark, if thats true, than thank you for doing the best you can. As you well know, pay IS a major issue in the industry. Forgive people for not knowing there is an operator out there trying to do something about that. And I hope this thread stays open.

Witnesses report the aircraft was in a steep right turn then nosed sharply into the ground at high speed. News report says 2 on board. Not o.k. Clear weather at the time.

Breaking news as of 2245. Saying a navajo crashed into richmond city while on approach to YVR

I agree. I think I was wrong about the PRC. I'm on board with the walk-way theory now!

I think it's a PRC. A black glue engineers use to help bond surfaces and windows after removal or repair. I've seen alot of it on the private jets I work around. If it's different on every B-52 that's probably it.

Don't goof around. Request another instructor NOW. I've been there and my learning curve was so much better for it. All the talk in the world will never make this guy a great instructor. It would be good for him too to hear that "constuctive critisism" from his CFI after too. You owe him nothing. Yo...

chephy, I have been reading this forum almost daily for years and never felt the need to join or reply until today. Your situation is ALOT like mine. I was more than half way through my training on the west coast this year and left it three months ago because of similar feelings. I never felt so ner...
