I had a similar experience in the T-6. The engine just lost power and I could not find the problem. It acted like fuel starvation. Found a roadway to land on. Went to the maintenance hanger and everything was fine. All flights after that were great. Still don't know what caused the problem. I was at...

Now that's a real tree hugger ! lol
Great to hear no one was hurt.

They say it's just a matter of time till it happens to you. I've seen it a few times at our local airport. The danger in this case was taking off again with a damaged aircraft. As others have noted, he was extremely lucky in this case. Had a guy taxi out in the fog one morning in a Mooney. He ran of...

When applying for a job at the local zoo, he was pulled aside and taken to a private room. Look they said, our gorilla has died. He is the main attraction and we are at the peak season. We need you to act as a replacement until we can get another gorilla in here. Your the right size for the gorilla ...

On a similar note, I remember In Vietnam doing a buddy start to get a C-130A out of there with a failed #4 starter. Using another C-130's propwash to windmill the engine enough to get it started. A aircraft that stayed on the ground to long became a mortar magnet. I hold those flight crews in the hi...

Friday 11:30 pm EST : About 3 1/2 hours ago I departed Corpus Christi for Atlanta. I started the engines to cool the aircraft down and noticed on shutdown the engines were windmilling. I was using FSX weather on the runway facing a NNE wind and rain 45-50 knots due to the hurricane. I had to hit the...

Got it ! Thanks very much.

Haven't seen the movie. While stationed at RAF Upper Heyford in the 70's I remember the pub in Deddington, England where the Dunkirk Society would meet every year. That little village had a dozen or so survivors. Quiet a few lives were saved on that operation. Also remember the movie Patton, when on...

Correction, Lewis didn't have a cookie and tea. He had a biscuit and tea or tea and biscuit. lol

A2A needs to come out with the Super Connie add on, flames and all. Remember they brought us the civilian Mustang version.

10 reasons to fly TWA.

Anchorage to Seattle flight. Around 200 miles from Seattle at cruise 20k feet got the heating problem warning. What did I do wrong to contribute to the problem. FE was in control. I had maintained manifold and rpm indicators at 12'oclock position in cruise. I made a 1500 fpm decent to 5k and changed...

Into the Sky's or something like that. A good looking paint. Would like to add one to my hanger too ! So many great painters on the forum, maybe they will hear our plea.

At a local air show I was standing near the C-130 air force pilot and a pretty young lady. You fly that big plane, she asked. He went on to tell her about the weight amount and types of cargo he had flown, and places he had been. He was just getting started when his female copilot came up and took h...
