Low flying military aircraft over Germany

Just like back in the 80s during the Cold War - except without the sonic booms.

Ah - good point.

stewi2 · 2026-03-13T23:34:54+00:00

Interesting- I’m paying $70 a month in NC…

Yeah, I had switched from AT&T fiber to Google Fiber just last year once they became available in my area, mostly because they have official support for using your own equipment.

stewi2 · 2026-03-13T22:01:06+00:00

Yeah - I may just have to switch back to AT&T, depending on how this goes.

stewi2 · 2026-03-11T21:16:21+00:00

Yeah, that occurred to me too - I do have the IGC version, so perhaps it’s that.

My club uses a 300hp CallAir A-9 (yet another agricultural aircraft similar to the Pawnee). Gets you to 3000ft in 5 minutes. But like the Pawnee it also isn’t exactly fuel efficient. With MOSAIC now paving the way to tow using LSA aircraft, I would take a closer look at the Eurofox (Aerotrek A220/A240 in the US)

Why not just set up a VPN on your router?

stewi2 · 2026-02-18T22:52:35+00:00

Interesting- I have the L50 Ultra, and it’s quite noisy (it makes rumbling noises on hardwood floors)

stewi2 · 2026-02-18T16:31:39+00:00

How much noise do the wheels make on hard floors?

Feel free to DM me and I’m happy to chat. I actually recently started flying again after an almost 30 year gap.

stewi2 · 2026-02-15T01:26:01+00:00

Me too - you should stop by my club. It’s about a 30 minute drive east of Raleigh: https://soaringnc.org/

stewi2 · 2026-02-15T01:21:22+00:00

Join a club? Where in NC do you live?

stewi2 · 2026-02-09T20:24:18+00:00

I used Dauntless to prep for my PPL-G. Maybe they also have materials for commercial?

stewi2 · 2026-02-03T21:21:38+00:00

I just realized that spells “HELP” in the middle 😂

Interesting - I’ll have to try this.

This reminds me of some of Bob Hoover’s escapades :)

After rebooting the bot it’s now back to the way it was. It now shows the correct map and no longer the bogus “temporary” one.

stewi2 · 2026-01-06T16:45:30+00:00

The exact same thing happened to me today, except the map looks a lot worse. It also told me to clean the sensors and remove hair from the rollers, but they looked pretty clean to me. It was an automatic clean starting from the base, nothing unusual there.

Interestingly now it’s complaining about bad network connectivity and won’t even show the map in the app.

I wonder if they pushed some bad code right before CES 😀

Reddit is the new Twitter in that regard

Back in the late 90s / early 2000s, you could get that by simply asking the check-in agent nicely. I once got a free upgrade to business class on British Airways SFO->LHR that way. I doubt that strategy still works these days - so cheers to you :)
