This is why I hate flying. If I have engine trouble with my car, I pull over call AAA and go home alive. If the engine goes out on a plane, I call the stewardess over ask for a Scotch light my “flight cigar” and kiss my ass goodbye.

Sailing, now there is a wonderful way to reach your destination.

More real evidence that general aviation aircraft are old and failing. (Thx Uncle Sam…)

The death knell has sounded. The EPA has declared lead in avgas 100 low lead to be a menace to “the children”. “The science is clear” (look out!). Though no “immediate” ban is proposed, the future is amenable to prediction. Expect the price to become unaffordable for hobby fliers.
