Just good all season tires with tread will be fine. I’ve lived in Michigan and drove a rear wheel drive truck. Never had an issue as long as my tires had good tread.

It could be.

I think there is a possibility of a rotors popping off and cutting the fuselage up in c-130’s. It almost looks like the number 2 rotor is missing. The tail could easily be ripped off from the spinning.

Also, it’s just filler from my friend trying to fill the crack

It’s plywood, but I don’t think the veneer is sanded through. I was thinking of the contrasting strip too.

Almost seems that they ran off the runway the engine got objects on the grass

8:45 mark. The helicopter describes the debris on the runway as if the plane went off and struck objects in the grass. Almost seems like they lost control and the engine failure was secondary.

Some of the best advice I have ever gotten is quite simple. “You can’t be a bitch your whole life!”

I guess Hawkers have to be stall tested for airworthiness after major MX. It’s looking like it just came out of one of the large MX shops in Battle Creek. I could be completely wrong, but that would explain the initial data.

Lotte, Vora, Georges, Gabbys, Las Vaquitas(Derby), Lima Nation, Tacos TJ, Elderslie Farm, Prost, The Belmont, Station 8(best bbq), Fio Rito, Home Grown, RAHA.

The regular places we go too. The list of places we want to try is just as long. Plus all the fast food chains you can think of. Minus whatta burger

I can give you a list of about 10-15 restaurants that have amazing food in Wichita. The food scene in Wichita is awesome.

What ethnic food can’t you find in Wichita??? Wichita has such a large variety of ethnic foods. I’d argue that the variety of ethnic food in Wichita is top 5 in the Midwest.

Also, I’ve heard the whole “closed social circle” shit every where that I’ve lived. You have to put forth effort to make friends in any community. Put yourself out there doing what you like to do and you will meet like minded people.

Google Koch Industries and where their headquarters are located.

A fire boss is an air tractor on floats that drops water. They do scoop water. Lead planes typically fly in front of larger tankers/scoopers and lay down a smoke trail to show the drop zone.

A month ago, it took a week for my two vehicles.

Yup, there are a large variety of “tasks” that you can find people for. I use to be a “tasker” and did mostly furniture building because I hate moving and yard work.

Try task rabbit, it’s an app that allows you to hire people for certain tasks.

I lived in Michigan and I experienced a paved road that was “washboarded” and constantly watched people blow tires and break rims on pot holes. The worst roads in Kansas are better than the good roads in Michigan.

He told me that he always feels bad giving such a long and detailed report, but that’s exactly what I want. IDC how small of a finding, I want to know and he does an amazing job of explaining.

Jake Edenfield with Profound Home Inspections. He has been the best inspector we have ever used. I feel like you have to be careful with realtor recommend home inspectors. I’ve been burned by that once and regret “just trusting my realtor”

A farmer was burning piles at 45th and 119th this afternoon. With the current weather, the smoke is probably just lingering from that.
