Current Events / Tragic Loss of Pilot and WW2 E...
Last post by ArizonaTank - Yesterday at 02:14:01 PMA WW2 era Spitfire and the pilot were lost on Sunday.

Of course, the loss of the pilot is a tragedy. And in this case, he seems to have been a good conscientious pilot. May he rest in peace and his family find solace.
I know this makes me a stick in the mud...but I really wish they would not fly these original aircraft. There are plenty of workshops capable of producing excellent reproductions to feed the public's desire to see them in action. IMHO, we don't need to keep endangering these historical treasures.
I don't think they are necessarily more dangerous than other aircraft, but every time one goes up, there is a very small chance it will be lost.

Last post by Tripoli - Yesterday at 08:32:54 AMJust think: the guy flying that aircraft was probably doing around 400 mph. My guess is he was probably around 24 years old (although the average age was 21-22).

General Discussion / Re: So I bought an ebike...
Last post by Jarhead0331 - May 27, 2024, 07:59:27 PMI bought an ebike today. I couldn't resist. They were having great Memorial Day sales. It's a cargo bike and the thing that sold me was a promotional video with a dad riding with his two daughters sitting on the back. Thing can haul 450 lbs of cargo alone and has a range of 150 to 75 miles on a dual battery charge, depending on weight and how heavy the rider is on the throttle.
It is a class 2 bike that can be switched into class 3 mode. Really looking forward to it!
