Yes, but the term would be very loose formationdeltafox wrote:When are yo signed up for formation training?
Actually, I wasn't there, so can't tell you. This is the first time in years that I've missed a Sentimental Journey breakfast, but I was in Beijing last week, in Berlin the week before, am now in California, and won't be back on the airport until Friday. (Can you spell Jetlag?)David wrote:How did the fly-in go last weekend, I heard you had early fog so I didn't come up
Wow, that's a lot of traveling! Those Sportstars are getting you great mileage on E10 auto gas!!drseti wrote:Actually, I wasn't there, so can't tell you.

Probably less fuel that the airliner burned to get you there...but not as fast.drseti wrote:oh, that's easy. Figure it's 10,000 nautical miles. At 100 kts cruise, that's 100 hours. 5 GPH means 1 jerry can per hour, so we're talking 100 cans.
Looks like Dave is con-trailing....those Rv's are awesome!drseti wrote:You really need to replace those piston rings, David. You seem to be burning quite a bit of oil...
Those pictures were during a take off with smoke.3Dreaming wrote:IIRC there was a young aerobatic pilot who was violated by the FAA for making a low pass and pull up with smoke on. The FAA inspector deemed it was aerobatic flight and wrote the violation.
I think they were out to get the person I mentioned, but catch an inspector having a bad day and who know what could happen.David wrote:Those pictures were during a take off with smoke.3Dreaming wrote:IIRC there was a young aerobatic pilot who was violated by the FAA for making a low pass and pull up with smoke on.
