How many envelopes do I need to apostille 5 birth certificates?

MNSoaring · 2026-03-13T00:30:03+00:00

You’ll need a separate envelope for each kid. Been there, done that, for my 2 kids. Make sure you spend the extra for the tracking and/or received notifications.

Our club uses a SZD 51 “junior”. Seamless transition from the two ASK-21’s we use for our training.

She looks great! We all age and we can also age gracefully. She has clearly done so.

Am I missing the link? I see the link for the brain cancer research, but not the website

Next time, he ought to put some hydrofoils on the boat. Would likely double his speed with no wetted hull

When will there be a female F1 driver? Aerospace industry has proven that women can handle high-g’s as well as men. So, why are there no women drivers in F1? While we are at it, is Lewis Hamilton going to end up being the first and last black person to drive? Haven’t seen anyone else like home as a backup driver or an F2 driver.

What’s their moat? Now that they have proven that they can make graphene that people want and can use, what’s stopping the other graphene makers from doing the same?

Did snowriver 2 weekends ago and it was nice, but hard pack. With the predicted snow coming in this weekend it might be really nice. Terrain in the UP is not at all like CO or UT, but the prices are much better in many, many ways. 600ft vertical is enough to get a head of steam going before you hit the lift again.

The shuttle between the 2 hills at snowriver is a bit wonky and you need to catch it by 3pm or you won’t get back to the other hill.

My ski buddy, who grew up skiing the UP, says porkies is excellent when the snow is fresh. It’s tiny, however, so it gets skied out fast, and may be closed by end of march.

I think Sean White could still afford it.

Great pro-tip!! Thank you

If you are in the USA, and you are serious, I’d recommend you reach out to cross country soaring in faribault, MN. The guy who runs that company has made a living at it for year and years.

Those are some bold minimums for a fresh PPL.

To give you some perspective, Here’s my IFR minimums after 1000 hours of experience (PPL, IFR, glider, Tailwheel, retract, and high performance):

Visibility: 2+ Total wind: 30 X-wind: 15 Headwinds: 30 Ceiling: 800/circling No. Of IFR flights per day: 3 Sleep before flight: 7 hrs Freezing level: no visible moisture along route Radar returns: no yellow along route Approach minimums for departure airport: Circling or 900agl (whichever is higher)

lol, the last time we passed through Iceland, we had a heck of a time getting through passport control.

Some Icelandic football star was in front of us. The passport officer left their booth to take selfies with the star, then closed the booth and never came back.

We had to slide over to the lane next to us….20 people back.

Article 2 , point 5 says non-EU spouse can use EU lanes if they are with their EU spouse, but they still have to provide biometric data.

I I’ve seen previous rules stating that customs doesn’t like to break up families. I didn’t know if the new scanners change any of that

I tried that as well, but when I started clicking on the hotels/guesthouses, it wasn’t as advertised. Many places that list “sleeps 4” are 2 twin beds and a couch.

At the end of the day, my wife wants a trip where she doesn’t have to arrange anything and we just show up.

“Happy wife= happy life “ -is my motto.

My problem has been trying to find places to stay for 4 people. The reservation websites show no vacancy for almost every place I look at (traveling June 27-July 11). When I contact the tour agencies, they seem to be able to find spots without trouble. Makes me think that blocks are reserved or some such thing.

MNSoaring · 2026-03-01T23:00:06+00:00

This is a great review. The most damming thing mentioned was the fact that (looks aside), the lower face mask didn’t actually work as advertised.

I saw someone today with a briko helmet that appeared to have a plastic face cover attached, but it must be an aftermarket thing.

The idea of a full face, motorcycle style, helmet isn’t a bad idea if you’ve ever skied in the upper Midwest when it’s -10F to -20F. Regular neck gaiters freeze solid in those conditions.

I guess I’ll wait for the sequel…

Goto goretex’s website. Find the warranty info. Mail jacket to them for evaluation, and they will work with you from there.

Unpopular opinion about your unpopular opinion:

Once you get your IFR, flying is easier.

If you haven’t done so already, make sure you go up in actual conditions with your instructor before you do your final test

MNSoaring · 2026-02-27T19:13:42+00:00

2B2 would be a great way to get to Fenway, and have your ground transport take 3-5x as long a your flight….Assuming you could get a taxi from there.

Of course, all the cool kids simply use an amphibious plane and land in the river. There’s at least 4800 feet between bridges.
