I see we glossed over the fact he flies a lawnmower. As someone who’s plane has been down for almost two years, I feel your pain

Since nobody else has explained: it refers to a video game in which three or four guys are outside the kill room discussing a plan of attack for killing all the opponents inside when one of them just runs inside yelling “Lerooooooooy Jenkiiiiins!!” and subsequently dies because he didn’t have...

Well said Clue. I lost my mother to ****ing cancer July 20 2020. It wasn’t quick and it wasn’t easy for her. I thought I was okay a year later when I had lunch with a friend of mine and his mother who reminded me of mine. After lunch, I drove home crying like a baby. Sluggo my brother, I’m...

Where in Arizona are you based? There are quite a few of us here. And congratulations on your PPL!

It’ll certainly give the global warming folks something else to complain about

What I picture happening: Mechanic had every intention of attaching the cable correctly. Some yahoo walks into the shop with a question about his plane or a part. Mechanic gets sidetracked, cable forgotten and yada yada. Not saying it happened here but it happens. Moral: Don’t bug mechanics...

As a controller, LUAW was tough to get used to. Then I realized that it was easier to say than “taxi into position and hold.”

Looks good. Personally I’d leave out the vines and peel the garlic but to each his own

Gotta be the cougar, aka mountain lion, aka panther. In my opinion the most beautiful wild animal there is

Wow he can talk. Your turbine blades came from together dude. It happens and especially on an engine he seemed not to know much about judging from the first part of the video. What he needs to know is what they may have found on the last hot section inspection instead of praising Garmin on...

Consider that you may not be ready for solo. You gotta be comfortable in your training that you already know what to do so you won’t “mess up”. I looked at my instructor and told him that he was expensive company. He told me to land and let him out.

I couldn’t work with her eight hours a day. Fingernails on a chalkboard. I used to work with a woman who used a fake British accent on the radio. I’ve worked with several controllers who had a social voice and a “controlling” voice; both were equally annoying

Or just change it to “Ask a Controller” because that’s what the initial intent was for the forum

I thought it was going to be about the snake
