I'm dating myself with that title. Too bad today's young people might think

Place to post pix of our steeds...? by
Jay Honeck
Hey folks,
I've been sitting here thinking about our upcoming get together in OSH, and
I realized that not only don't we know what each other looks like, but --
worse! -- we don't know what each other's planes look like!
This seems to be a major failing of this newsgroup, if you ask me. I...

I believe the gage works under capillary...

PA28 gas cap by
Frank Van Haste
Hi.
We had to buy a new fuel tank cap for the Archer (don't ask) and the shop
sez the price on the part (not including painting) is about $177. Can
anybody verify that that's really what the little round guy costs?

I have not for almost 15 yrs, I cover the FBO deductible by "self insuring".
I accept the risk of injury to others, and chose not to buy insurance.

Questions about taking the plunge into a/c ownership by

Well, I'm about to take the plunge into aircraft ownership. I had a
few question about what I am doing that I wanted to throw out there
