    Stolen Airplane in Seatle over the weekend

    The larger the aircraft, the less likely it is to require any kind of key to start.  The engine start sequence is not that complicated and the checklists are not hard to obtain.  I don't know about that specific model but I've seen add-on models for Microsoft Flight Simulator (2000) that were...

    Happy Birthday Flyer!

    Tractor Update: Finally got a little bit of decent weather to support cleaning, blasting, and painting.  We had two nice days last week before the weather turned back to crap so we shifted the schedule for blasting and painting.  The plan was to have it on shiny new wheels and tires when it...

    It appears that Hollywood has viewed being a sleazeball as a resume enhancement for a long time now.  I pretty much tuned out a number of years ago figuring I have better things to do with my time.
