I've got a 5 bolt sump from an O300C engine off of a 1963 C172 that had a leak. Thinking of sending it out for repair just to have a spare. What pics would you like?

The night before 9-11-2001 I was in PIT getting ready to depart to ITH (Ithaca, NY) We were running late and the gate agent told me we had 10 pax that were landing on another flight in a few minutes. We were the last flight out to ITH that night and I decided to wait for them. 20 minutes later we go...

Here in the southeast corner of New Hampshire there are no gas stations with ethanol free gas. There used to be one just across the border in Maine but the Gov of Maine dictated some years ago that only gas with ethanol will be sold to vehicles in Maine.

As of 10 Feb the Alton Bay, New Hampshire, ice runway is open. Only the runway and ramp are open for now they are working on the taxiway. A recorded message is available on 603 875 3498 they are pretty good at keeping it updated. Alton Bay will have their annual Ice Festival on Sunday, 14 Feb.

The Alton Bay, NH ice runway will NOT open this year due to ice conditions, not thick enough for the plow truck. 603 875 3498 is a recorded message about the runway.

Isn't it the green is because they are envious and red because they are embarrassed you are so much faster?
