Some planes look like fun but are just too dangerous to fly.

I think you get one club length relief no closer to the hole.

If I was married to Calista Flockhart, I wouldn’t be wasting my time trying to kill myself in a 70-year-old plane.

He’s crashed once. More a hard landing in a helicopter, actually.

And the Menasco’s engines are rarer than Hens Teeth. Yes they are stunning to the point plans exist to make a Replica, lots of time and $....

Thats why the Walther/Lom Avia M 332 engine was made.

Perfect drop in fit for the STA and one of the best piston aircraft engines ever made

The Menasco Pirate engine series is wonderful , and the engines are very reliable - just super rare and hard to find parts for.

It's not even remotely a rewarding plane to fly. It makes no sense.

Climbing to the top of Mt. Everest is no picnic either, but there are a bunch of people who insist on doing so.

The three most useless things to a pilot:
  1. Altitude above me
  2. Runway behind me
  3. and avgas in the refueling truck
