Erik, would you mind telling us what country you live in?


County, Washington in Oregon



Ahhhh that explains it that's place lets the tweekers run free but lockup
the drunks and harmless pot smokers that have permits.



Hahaha. Yeah, never been in trouble in my life, but now
I'm a goddamned soul-sucking criminal.

Note: Multinomah county (where Portland actually is) is not
the same, they actually have a .08 rule, so if you go downtown
and have a couple beers, then drive into Washington county,
you're only a criminal once you cross the county line.

Which means that even one beer, regardless of the
effects on your driving, count as a DUI.


What state and county is that?

Mary just picked up a 6-pack of "Major Tom's Pomegranate Wheat" ale
from the store. Why?

Well, because it has a biplane on the container, of course! (Gotta
love her taste in beer... ;-) It appears to be a Stearman, but the
cockpit has a turtle-deck, so that's not quite right...

But I digress.

As I'm sitting her supping it (and it's quite good, actually, although
I'm not sure that "pomegranate juice" has any business in beer), I
started to think about all the "aviation beers" I've imbibed over the
years.

For some strange reason, brewers -- especially microbrewers -- seem to
be enamored with aviation. Can you name any of your local "aviation
ales"?

Better yet, can you bring any of them to the "Rec.Aviation H.O.P.S.
Party" at our campsite during Oshkosh, for all to enjoy?

I saw Aviator's Gin at Bev Mo, two weeks later I saw a bottle at
Sacramento Skyranch aircraft parts supplier. They had even provided
FAA paperwork for it.

There's Warbird Ale from Indiana, brewed by a T-6 owner. It really wasn't
too bad!

I agree that talking about beer is preferable to inane questions about
mythological autopilots, and much more fun.

If my mythological autopilot drinks an aviation themed beer in a county
that outlaws driving while smoking, how long do I have to wait before it
can fly a coordinated turn?

On the ground, engine off, your aircraft has to be able to

1) balance on its mains

2) follow the stripe down the center of the taxiway for at least
100 feet or 30 m

3) with the landing lights off, bend the left wingtip around to touch
the spinner, then the right wingtip

4) recite the phonetic alphabet backwards
