Re: TC Rule change idea to enhance Safety.

Re: Mounting a GoPro on a Cherokee Six

I have never seen any one really getting shot out of a cannon though. That would be cool. Nothing in the Civil Aviation Regs forbidding gettin...

Re: Price of Sectionals? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!!
You were probably pointing out that Canadians are shorter than Americans
So less is ok
