This is great!
After he smokes the umbrella wielder in the beginning and he comes up swinging from the pile…the guy he hits with the right has a Trump flag and was standing by him in beginning of video. Did he hit his buddy in the chaos? :lol:

re: 0W-16 Weight motor oil? WTF

The "20" in oil numbers indicates its thickness at high temperatures,
This is a pretty common misconception because of how confusing multi viscosity oil nomenclature is.
Engine oil does not thicken as the temperature rises. The spec means that the 0w20 oil will be 0w at ambient and equivalent to a 20w at a given operating temperature. They achieve this effect through additives that slow the thinning of the oil as temp rises.
Maybe a better way to say it is that a 0w20 is a 0w oil that behaves like a 20w oil when hot.

Too many incentives to prop the foreigners up to own them. White man doesnt get the same treatment and thus its not as lucrative of a venture.

I think Miles’ tenure at LSU without having to deal with Saban would have a very different perspective of most fans.

Ill believe the cutoffs when i see them.

2006 Baron has 2 tanks, one per wing. There is no switching required.
I appreciate this info. I dont have any twin engine experience directly.
quote:
Sounds to me like they ran out of fuel.
This is what confuses me. The security cam footage from one of the stores nearby has audio. There is clearly at least 1 engine making power. Thats why i was thinking maybe ran out/starved and switched tanks to find some fuel for a restart.
quote:
Do you switch gas tanks mid flight normally? One runs out and you switch over? How does that work exactly I’m just curious?
Many smaller private planes are set up with right and left wing tanks that feed into a small (2-3 gal) header tank. The header tank feeds the engine directly. You have the ability to switch a valve in the cockpit between right/left/both. Both is used for takeoff and landing and can be used for flight. The issue with both is that if flying a distance you may have one tank feeding faster than the other due to flight characteristics. Being able to isolate one tank gives you the ability to pull from one tank to balance out the weight distribution across the plane. It also allows you to pull from the good tank if you develop an issue in flight with the other.
quote:
that wasn't what I was expecting to see. How does a plane get into a flat decent tailspin like that?
If the audio on that video is accurate there is at least one engine making power.
Another scenario is they forgot to swap tanks and engines died. They put the plane on glide to trouble shoot and figured the problem out and swapped tanks to restart. One engine making power in a low energy twin can be dangerous if not handled correctly. Can induce a flat spin with adverse yaw and without considerable altitude almost impossible to recover.

He filed flight plans to land at the "Stafford Airport" in Cankton.
Thats a 2000ft (at best) grass strip. High transmission lines on the east end.
A twin beech is not filing a flight plan there. I think and hope thats just a fault with flight aware in that when a VFR flight results in a crash the software just assumes the destination is the nearest registered strip.

All really good points.
Just realizing i replied to and quoted you and i meant to reply to the post a couple above yours asking about the speed fluctuations.
Long day. Sorry
quote:
I’m not an expert but my opinion based on the data is a stall/spin on downwind approach. VMC (minimum controllable speed) is close to that last datapoint of 102 mph.
That graph indicates ground speed. So he could be flying 200mph vertically with 0 ground speed. Head winds and tailwinds affect GS numbers also. If he lost power at altitude like i suspect then he would have put it on a glide slope for max time aloft. Maybe even circled looking for available runways nearby or open fields.
The flight data numbers indicate a glide slope of -400 fpm for several minutes which is good. Im not sure what happened at the end. Maybe put the gear down and stalled it on final? Maybe tried to avoid power lines or houses. Maybe thought he could land on 98 or 93 but there is a lot of traffic on those two roads and changed his mind at the end.
All speculation. Just a plane nerd.

But those are very casual. Do you ever need to dress more formally?
I guess i have a couple of older dress shirts with buttons. Over the last 10 years i can count on one hand how many times i have worn a tie. Most of the time its slacks and a sport coat.
But i live in rural America if that helps.

My favorite shirts all have a button down collar. I have several without buttons and they dont get worn anymore.
