nearly as colorful as the ones us left coasters have to use. Maybe Jay

Uh, I think he calls those landings...

good landings.

There is no T to CFI in Iowa.

Sure, T for Tower!

Tell that Eastern Airlines flight that crashed in the Everglades because
nobody was minding the store that you can't CFIT in flat ground.

Hope your bank account is ready for a big hit. There is obviously something
dangerously wrong with your electrical system. Maybe its time to go ahead
and do the annual early.

Enjoy while it lasts

I admire your guts. Probably get hit by lightning....

You got bigger ones than I my friend!

...And just to prove it, I will announce the following to the aviation
world:

Yesterday, for the first time since I bought Atlas in 2002, EVERYTHING in
the panel worked as designed all at the same time!

big snip, sounded like bragging, hehe

Pshaw! I spit in the face of fate, and all that it threatens or promises!

ways... ;-)

Jay, I realize you are in a dire predicament. That's why I'm willing
to make you a great deal on the Apollo LORAN 604T from my Comanche.
It fits in a standard height radio tray, and does not appear to lock on
to anything, though it does light up and try. The selector knobs are a
little gunked up and miss clicks sometimes. It doesn't weigh much. It
hasn't been possible to update the database for years, but you won't
mind because the interface is too obtuse for you to find anything in the
db anyway.

Think of it as an avionics lightning rod for your panel.

Hey, there was one of those in an old Cherokee 140 we used to rent! It was
the most needlessly complex, utterly useless device anyone had ever seen in
an aircraft.

There was only one guy on the field who claimed to be able to make it do
anything (other than light up), and he had to wear special ceremonial robes
and mutter magic spells to make it work.

It's amazing that Apollo survived a product like that one.

Our club's Lance has a Loran in it that as far as I know, only one person
ever used. And I'm not too sure about him because he always complained
that it couldn't lock on "if somebody flew the plane without turning it
on". Yeah, I laughed when I read that too.

Don't laugh. He's only missing one step in there. If you turn the LORAN off,
fly the plane more than a few miles, and turn it back on again at a different
location, it won't lock in. All it would take is for somebody to take the plane,
fly a bit, notice the LORAN is on and turn it off, then return to base. My
Foster unit has been known to do this after having been moved as little as
twenty miles, but it usually takes more than that.
