    Completed the written for CFI instrument add-on

    Just finished the 20 question test for the instrument add-on to my CFI. A few hours of flying to get finished I understand. I also went ahead and did the Instrument Ground Instructor test since it is largely the same question bank.

    Not good message from Van’s Aircraft

    This is not good. In my experience small businesses don’t recover from this sort of thing, despite the hopes of the owners. https://www.vansaircraft.com/2023/10/business-announcement-from-vans-founder-dick-vangrunsven/

    Attempted Engine Shutdown on Horizon Air - Portland, OR - 23 Oct 23

    One of the risks of using psychedelics apparently. I know a lot of the early serious experimentation with LSD was done with an orderly nearby. I guess that's the end of his flying career. https://nypost.com/2023/10/24/news/crazed-off-duty-pilot-made-second-bid-to-down-alaska-airlines-flight-feds/

    Single engine airplane affordability peaked around '73/'74

    That is very cool Jim. Certainly the author of ”Where’s My Flying Car” would argue that this corresponds with a great stagnation in a lot of areas of innovation and the economy and an increasing regulatory and litigation load.
