Google Sherpa.

Perty close imitation, isn't it? g

That looks as close to a cartoon plane as I have seen. Is that the one at Osh I
remember with a 8 cylinder opposed engine, or am I thinking of something else?

That's the one. It's on the Long Props Big Rocks video also, where they
touch down in the water and end up on land.

then a 5/3 Piper Cub. Think a Piper Cub the size of an Antonov Colt!

Oooh! Can you say useful load?

It was a fun article. Completely toungue in cheek. Maybe it was
bigger than 5/3. It was supposed to have an R-1340 completely hidden
under a fiberglass replica A-65. One fake cylinder held a 55 gallon
drum of oil and the other three held gas. The interior would have two
levels with a spiral staircase, (just like a 747!) Perhaps best of all
the pilot would wear a gorilla suit! I haven't seen that issue in 30
years but I still remember that story.

In my opinion : AOPA pilot, Pilot (UK), Private pilot, Todays pilot
(UK) and Flyer(UK)
Unfortunately, AOPA Pilot is not on sale in France if you're not an
AOPA member. I wish it was.

Bozeman, Montana


Which we all know from the FAA written exams... G

You snipped too much, at least for me. Which one are you referring to?

Bozeman, MT! G

Still clueless. Please fill me in. Is there something in the FAA
written exam that references Bozeman? It's been quite a while since I
took it.

I don't believe you can buy it as a stand alone magazine in the States
either.
You must be a member of AOPA to receive this magazine.
I could be wrong, as I have been told by my ex-wife a million times.

Sorry.

There are several current questions that use Bozeman.

I barely read the daily paper.

In that case, I hope you don't vote, either.

Wouldn't it be better to have facts before voting?

My favorite 5:

1) Flying - I guess that make three of us (with Jay) but I really like
it. They may be disagreeable at times but they're not afraid to take a
position and tell you when they don't like something. Hard to do in an
advertising-based revenue model.

2) AOPA Pilot - kind of plays it safe but they just have a lot of
articles so I'm bound to find some interesting. I like the
pilot-centric (of course) and owner angle.

3) IFR/IFR Refresher - yeah they're technically two but I still haven't
figured out how their angles are different. Good stuff regardless.

4) Aviation Safety - Got some good articles more often than not. I
think our fellow newsgrouper Paul Sanchez writes for them too. I like
the down in the weeds detail he and others provide.

5) Aviation Consumer - Like Jay stated, lots of data points in a
condensed format. However, I've read in this NG at some point that a
lot gets edited-out and it sometimes changes the overall color of the
article and I can sense that from time to time.

Plane and Pilot is getting better and better since the absorption of
Private Pilot.

Unlike most here, I read about 10 magazines front-to-back every month
thanks to my 1 hour + communte on a train. Heck, I even "read"
Trade-a-Plane and Controller when I'm hungry for more. My wife thinks
I'm hopeless.

I get AOPA but for whatever reasons, it doesn't cut it for me. Too
sanitized, not enough opinion.
