What'd you do, smash your avionics stack with a hammer and then squawk 7600?

They talk about a 1900 going down in '04 due to the pilot's sudden cardiac death. Does the 1900 not require two pilots?

This isn't something you see everyday. As I drove by West Houston Airport today, I saw this Baron on the side of the road. It's only a couple hundred feet from the departure end of Runway 15 at KIWS. I blocked out the tail number for privacy. I've been searching but no luck so far figuring out what actually happened.

Glad that he got it down safe no matter what happened

I was there today and heard three widely varying stories but look at the propeller blades on the right engine.

Yeah, the blades are bent to hell. Did this actually happen today?

I was told it happened yesterday morning.
The blades are in the feathered position but they are curled like the engine was still turning when they hit something.

No, I came up 400' shy. Maybe one day. After being up there once, I'm in no hurry to do it again.

Yeah there is no real reason to go up there....very little margin for error. Last time I was at FlightSafety I had them take me up to FL510 to let me hand fly it. I did a stall just to see how much altitude you would lose...I used the normal recovery method and lost 1,500 feet which was pretty good I thought! In real life I think I would have just kept the nose down, haha.

Wow! I thought it would require much more altitude to recover. I remember doing a full stall in the sim just to see how well it does, and I remember losing 5000 fpm. But when it broke, it was a nice clean stall and went straight forward. Very surprised you were able to recover in 1500'.

I drive planes
My favorites from Oshkosh this year
Camped Thursday-Sunday with one of my friends in a rented Cessna 140
Since the plane wasn't mine, I wanted to be outside with it to hold it down because I wasn't sure how bad the storm was going to be. It didn't move or even try to though. A few airplanes were damaged though.
No damage, but this tent attacked a Canadian C150 that was parked next to us during the storm
The parachute team under-estimated the wind it seems and 2 of them didn't make it back east of the flight line
Greg Koontz coming back in after his seat-back (in his brand new airplane) broke during a snap-roll. He flew later in the week though
On my realistic list of airplanes to own someday
Flight-school row
Meeting Kyle Franklin at the univair booth
Kirby's GoPro'd out 540
Iron Eagles - Very impessive
John Mohr - Also very impressive

T6 Parade
T-28 Parade
On my unrealistic list of airplanes to own someday
Got a tour
Inside the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital DC-10
Caravans looking pretty nice these days
My friend and I at our home for 3 days
Went all out this year
For showing my friend here where the A-26 was for the free tour that she scored, I got to go up too.
Making airplane noise in the A26
Probably the best fireworks ive ever seen
Packed up and ready to go at 6:30am
Part of the parade to 18R now
and a smooth flight home
