I enjoyed the stories, personally.

He couldn't have faked it.

The news and all lined up to make the gear-up a real thing.

Hopefully we'll see more ADS-R to fill some of the gaps, but that will still lead to feelings of false safety since we won't know where areas of no radar coverage (or shadows) exist.

Safe and comfortable may often be synonyms in this case. Hopefully you're comfortable flying your airplane in any safe corner of the envelope.

Ouch. I've never had a controller play that game with me.

That used to be in the 7110, to be fair. It may have been cleared as requested, though. One of them. If i got proceed-as-requested in response to a question clearly requesting transit through the bravo, I'd accept that as implied enough that the FSDO wouldn't come after me.

Depends on your definition of fast... it's still double the speed by highway and straighter!

Agreed on every count. It's all security theater, but I thought it was worth mentioning that even congress knew there'd be backlash if they didn't let a medevac flight in lol

The bus runs until 2330, so you have some time. Also,they have uber, so getting around after isn't so bad.

There's a specific exemption (even for the inner ring) for "approved" air ambulance flights.

Stock prop, no wheel pants, I regularly true 110-115 in my 76 M.

Sounds like that AME was trying to diagnose in this case, but regardless, they're attesting that you satisfy the requirements, in their opinion. A second opinion should always be an option... and if it wasn't, why let the RFS or even CAMI have any say beyond the AME? AMEs can and will make...

Second opinions in the medical realm are acceptable, though. Why would asking for another doctor's opinion in this case be any different?

If you're on the East side, you can get a T for 250, but its 2-3x (and more) that on the West side. Up north, it may be a little cheaper, too, but I don't want a 1 hour drive (sans traffic) to get to my airplane.

But it's only going to be using the correct reference if you have the approach loaded and active.

We landed there Sunday coming and Saturday leaving and it was fully staffed both times. Neither time were we the only folks on the ramp, either. The lady at the desk was telling me how the COPA group had their entire ramp filled just for several days before. On the way out, we spent some time...

I'd love to rent a hangar, but Ts are stupid expensive around here. Renting a hangar would literally double my cost of ownership annually, including variable expenses for 100hr/yr. So, instead, I park outside.

Coming back from OSH, I annoyed a Houston TRACON controller. We were just north, and I wanted to make sure she understood I wanted to transit the Bravo, so I (on VFR FF) asked if I could proceed direct destination. She responded "proceed direct West Houston." I don't mind a clearly implied...

And that's why the dorms are great!
