    Plane crash At Reagan National

    Random thoughts worth what everybody paid for them: DCA controllers are some of the very best in the country. Trump's rant about FAA DEI makes absolutely zero sense in context of this accident. "Back in my day" flying the Deuce in/out of DCA, I don't recall overflying the east bank during the...

    Aero Solus 223 bolt face

    There's always the option of buying in-stock merchandise from a third-party retailer like Brownells, though likely at higher cost than Aero's sales (especially their Nov-Dec sales). Lack of response to phone or email queries is unsat regardless of time of year.

    ...but if the APU is operable, you crank it for CAT2/3 ops, right?

    While I'm totally unfamiliar with Guppy systems, I'm pretty sure the 737NG like most Part 25 airliners today have a "flight" APU, so if it was running it absolutely could have powered all AC busses...but I'd guess most airlines don't start the APU prior to landing unless they're in CAT2/3 ops.

    Maggie’s Electric hot water heater

    Had to replace our NG hot water heater in early 2024, tankless wasn't an option for us without 1. upgrading our NG meter and 2. some horrendiously ugly white PVC exhaust/vent piping. The 50gal replacement we got works well, but there are times we need more hot water. Anybody running one of...
