Biz Jet Accident - Fatal 8 - 17 Aug 2023

It was called "The Zoo" and it was a 5 gallon pail of ice cream and treats delivered on a WWII style stretcher by a bunch of overly exuberant young employees. When you were poor as a young kid and you got invited to a birthday party at Farrells or Chuck E. Cheese you thought you'd made it into the cool kids club.

Edit to add: I think the last time I witnessed these things the young men carrying the stretcher were wearing hard hats with rotating beacons on top.

They also had a smaller one called, if I remember right, the pig sty or something like that. You got a ribbon if you finished it all. The staff all dressed up in old timey outfits that looked like barber shop quartet uniforms. And every Farrell’s had a candy and trinket store where the cashier was located. Used to get to go there every so often as a kid.

I hope it comes back. I think it's the sort of thing that people remember from their youth with a sense of nostalgia. The last few times I've heard anything about Chuck E. Cheese it's been "adults" getting rowdy and tearing the place up. When I was in my 20s we'd all lament about people not keeping their kids in check, now those kids are parents and they're likely to start pounding on each other. That's why I'm more likely to be found at home rather than out and about. Life lessons learned the hard way.
 
haha man, I had forgotten most of the details about the Farrell's experience, but thanks for jogging my memory. It was a great place as a 5 year old
 
The other day I was talking to a young coworker, he has a side hustle working on some GA stuff, and he started talking about adding an oil cooler on a small experimental airplane and my ears perked up. His plan to solve the airplanes issue, in my eyes, seemed to have some inherent flaws, He almost stepped on his jimmy. He has no idea what I've done regarding making airplanes go fast, but he was willing to listen. I ended up telling him something I was told a long time ago "The longest distance between two points is a shortcut.". I don't trust this kid yet, but at least he's enthusiastic.

Chuck E Cheese self-destructed. Bad pizza, mediocre entertainment for kids, sad beer-drinking dads on their visitation weekend.

Gattitown does a better job at that price point.

Farrell’s could succeed at a higher price point in nice areas.

When I finally upgraded, my SO got me a Fudgy the Whale from Carvel.

One of the best surprises ever!

Well it's more the lack of altitude

It is astonishing how many airmen don’t understand the relationship between Vso and load factor. Way too many meat servos rely on the comfort of being in the green on the airspeed tape and assuming that protects them from a stall. One of my favorite and most serious lessons to teach during a spin session in an aerobatic airplane is accelerated stalls. The students always display a false sense of security while in the green, then I’d increase the wing loading and wha-bam! We’re inverted and they’re speechless.
