Randal, Palestine Texas just brought back a very old memory- way back around 1955 I was flying my Stinson 10A from San Antonio to St.Louis to sell it. I departed Stinson Field around midnight and when near Palestine the engine began missing. I decided to land and circled over the airport - someone k...

Sounds like a great idea and would preclude carrying those spare tailwheel parts and having to worry about tire pressu...

I once watched a 727 land at MBJ after cutting the turn from base to final very tight to avoid a rain storm. As he rolled out the wings were rocking and the left wing scraped the runway. Sparks flew. The damage was to the outboard leading edge flap. (It was the pilot's very first flight as Capt. and...

That IO-360 is a sweet engine. I've owned and operated a Cessna 336 and several 337's and it's a very reliable, smooth running engine. On the Skymasters at least it's the easiest starting fuel injection engine, hot or cold. Just give it a shot of prime and it starts like a car. You'll love it !
