From my AM gocomics.com run…there is ALWAYS an #aviation angle.

For safety, while flying in backcountry or emergency landing, I protect my head against Cessna A-pillar with a Team Wendy SAR Tactical helmet.
My old ANR headset died and I upgraded to David Clarke One-X. I had to engineer a new 3d printed Peltor mount for earcups.
DC's have great design, where I attached an adaptor onto existing #4-40 post and bolted through it. PLA here works only in compression.

Bad spark plug in cylinder #2 shows up as EGT temperature drop. This was during Right magneto check (top spark plug in my engine).

Found this sweet Avro RJ100 regional jet for my #XPlane #Flightsim tonight. Someone has modified the panel for the X1000 (G1000) glass, and it flies perfectly. 350 kts ground speed at FL120.
Parked in the RJ gates at KPDX.
Maybe “Buzz” Airlines serves funny tasting cookies and gummies that keep all the pax happy? Would certainly cut down on air rage incidents!

I believe someone at Laminar Research (X-Plane) might have had about six too many Red Bulls when they coded this Waco crash sequence. It just keep going, and going, and going. Tough machine though, no parts were seen flying off.

#OSH23 traffic is crazy right now. Tons of departures, and Fisk is backed up holding at Puckaway Lake and Endeavor.
This is ATC at their finest.

This hour’s random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro is yours truly flying the short final to KHIO (Hillsboro, Oregon) RWY 2 in our former 1963 Cherokee 235 (Katy). Proof that at some point, yes, I was a pilot.
The 235 was a business airplane for clients in Cali, when that business went away, it became a very expensive hamburger chaser, so I sold it. Also spent WAY too much on maintenance.

Mano man, Fisk is getting BUSY right now at #OSH23. End of the line is now Portage, not Endeavor. Reaching saturation point in 3…2..1…

This hour’s random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro is some CLOSE formation work between a camera ship and Dianna Stanger flying her L-139.
Yes, the same L-139 she had to put down hard in a recent Texas crash, but she is recovering well from her injuries according to her Facebook posts.

House pases bill to raise airline pilot retirement age to 67:
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday voted to pass legislation that would raise the mandatory commercial pilot retirement age to 67 from 65 and make other aviation reforms, with the Senate now set to consider its own measure.”

There were in-flight snacks!
My daughter made up a tasty batch of SPAM #musubi for the trip to Michigan yesterday.
The views as we cruised along in the mighty Skylane were pretty nice too. #PureMichigan #wingwednesday #gaflying #pilotlife #cessna182

This hour’s random desktop background on my #MacbookPro is this “helluva lotta fun” Eurofox Light Sport. Would be a gas to just take this so low and slow you can smell the cows.

Having a bit of #XPlane #flightsim fun tonight with the Bell Jetranger #helicopter in NYC. Departed Downtown Manhattan Heliport, took a scenic route by the Lady of Liberty, and buzzed the Observation deck of the Empire State Building. Still no good at #rotorcraft flying but practice makes perfect. I can land it now without crashing, just not exactly where I want yet.

This hour’s random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro is this gorgeous multiple exposure shot of a Corsair(?) spreading its wings. Photographer unknown, but kudos to them for the exceptional effect.
