The Pilot's Lounge #26:
Scud Running —
Discussing a Delicate Subject
There's a right way and a wrong way to do anything. So it is with scud
running, that time-honored practice of scooting under weather to get to
a destination. Lately, though, the practice has gotten much more
dangerous, partly because it's not being properly taught any more. While
that may be a good thing, people are still finding ways to bend sheet
metal at low altitudes. AVweb's Rick Durden shows you how to scud run,
then shows why you shouldn't. Read

Video: Redbird's Redhawk Diesel -- A Detailed
Look
At AirVenture, the really cool airplane wasn't from an airplane

Continental, and they invited us to come fly it at their San Marcos,
Texas Skyport. So we did. In this video, we offer a detailed analysis of
the Redhawk, along with a closer look at the airplane's performance and
cost figures. Read
