@DWTSquawk7600 Tell her I am fine. I would tell her myself but damn, we cannot get her over here. Tell her this is where all the cool kids hang out.
She's good people. Helped me out big time for years doing #Oshbash. I had the Bacon Jerky shipped to her, she drove it (64 bags a year) to KOSH, and drove me to the store to buy drinks and ice each year. They don't make 'em like her anymore. You can pass that along.

Major league congratulations to Derek Thomas (@DWTSquawk7600
worldkey.io) for winning the Ward 3 City Council race in Jefferson City, Missouri tonight!
Derek is a good dude, one of us #avgeeks, and I spent a great deal of time with him at Oshkosh in 2019. We drove up from KSTL, stopped at some small airports to gawk along the way, and AirVenture wore both of us out big time.
Lots of people talk the talk, but now Derek is going to walk the walk, so to speak.

Somebody's losing their JOB:
Just arrived thru some nasty TS into KEUG from Rapid City, SD (KRAP, no jokes, been there done that) in my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision jet.
Parked in my usual spot in front of the old terminal, called for fuel, and the driver was apparently suffering "first day on the job" woes.
Drove the fuel truck right thru my left wing. Ever heard of a BRAKE PEDAL?
Called his boss and got: "No worries, that'll buff right out."

The U.S. Air Force’s F-47 NGAD fighter faces scrutiny as Chinese analysts question its use of canards, a design feature from older jets. Could this impact its stealth capabilities?

This hour's random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro is a shot of "Katy" - my former #Cherokee235 - and I on short final to the rarely-used RWY 2 at Hillsboro, OR (KHIO).
If you look carefully at the airspeed indicator, you'll see it pegged at 70 mph. That was the sweet spot for landing this Cherokee, as the big "Hershey Bar" wings provided a good bit of ground effect over the numbers. I barely had to flare it, seemed almost like autoland.

This hour's random desktop background on my #MacbookPro is this yahoo trying to get his soybean field ready for planting with a business jet.
While certainly faster, I'll bet a nice green John Deere 9620RX would do the job for far cheaper. And much less NTSB and FAA paperwork.
@amberisvibin Yeah if you ever find yourself in Oshkosh (especially during EAA week in the summer) Basler is on the other side of the main runway and I hear they give tours. I've been inside their BT-67 (on the ground) and written features on them...they are very well done, super powerful, and they improve on the already great short and rough field capabilities of the DC-3/C-47.
I am not affiliated just think they are a gas!
