Would be super impressed if a C130 didn’t end up in the cornfield on t/o

A Rutan Long EZ running autogas has a better environmental footprint than a Prius and is more than twice as fast

Of course, takeoff and climb are typically at full power but to reach cruising altitudes for a single engine airplane doesn’t take very long. It’s a similar concept to a car on a highway onramp, except that airplanes actually get more efficient at higher altitudes.

It factors into overall consumption but it doesn’t really blow the whole equation for efficiency. Pilots in training do takeoffs and landings on repeat for hours at a stretch between refueling.

Further clarification: Only gasoline powered aircraft without the Auto Fuel STC require leaded fuel.

Although, there is an initiative underway to fully phase out leaded avgas. G100UL is the FAA approved formulation. Exciting time and long overdue.

I dunno, I picked RedHat 5.2 as a complete beginner along with fvwm95 and afterstep, and that worked out okay. Of course, that was 25 years ago.

Still a tough bind for someone who isn’t already a homeowner. I’ve put a lot into index funds which have performed really well, but if I sell them now to buy a house and the real estate market shits the bed (which it really should), then I’m in an even worse place. I remember talking to people in 2007 who complained they would “never be able to afford a house”, but three years later their local listings fell by 30-40%.

I’m talking about the Fed, but you better believe that money found its way into crypto and startups with dubious value props

There’s more to life than being really really really ridiculously good looking
