Bad financial decisions

[USMCmech]

Was about 70% expecting an aileron roll here, ha.
(Don't do that. Unless you're in a box and carrying a card. In which case, smoke on!)

No chance,

I don't ever see myself doing airshow aerobatics. I like having plenty of recovery altitude to play with.

7ECA? Is that a Delta flight engineer on the 757/767?

It is a model of the Citabria which were direct descendants of the Aeronca 7AC Champ.

You called it, the down line doesn't need any power, pinched the 3rd quarter of the loop, and need more rudder on the roll.

This was one of my early acro practice flights and I'm still getting used to the difference in the new airplane. I had a contest coming up and decided to drop down to the primary division just to participate. The contest got rained out and now I'm working on the sportsman sequence for next year.

Heck yeah ... Sportsman in that thing is going to be an absolute blast! Be careful, be safe, and go get some!

Good old Aeronautical Corporation of America. If you think about it, they’re another aviation company in Ohio helping locals leave the state since the before the Great Depression.

It is truly amazing how much Ohio sucks ass that it inspired so many people to flee the state in an expedited manner. See also, Kansas.

Having pondered living in Kansas a few times, believe it or not, and having spent a lot of time in my career on layover in Ohio, too, I would much prefer Kansas over Ohio.

Wow...

I mean, some guys are into really obese chicks...midgets...or really obese midgets. I'm not one to kink shame. But if I were going to you'd be ahead of those guys.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Wichita owing to Beechcraft.

I doubled down on my bad financial decisions and now I have another money pit.

This is better than all Wacos and all the Monocoupes I've flown. About as good as the Howard.

The joys of airplane ownership. Fuel leak required pulling the tank.

Had a leak in one of the Howard's tanks (3 tanks in the belly underneath the cabin holding 122 gallons) the precipitated recovering the belly. Difficult. Had a leak in the right tank of the cabin Waco (two tanks in upper wings) that required cutting it out, repair and recover that portion. Both events tasted like ass. I'm sorry but hopefully this is less traumatic.
