    Hey young people, tell us what you can do!

    Yep, no need for education at all. Let's just go back to living in caves. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Seriously, what is your problem? You either don't know very many teachers, or you know one REALLY bad one.

    Cheapest way to build retract time

    I buy my tractor parts in West Bend, and used to take my son there for swimming lessons, so I'm not far away from KETB - I buy ethanol free mogas at KHXF. They actually do have an ethanol free at the Farm & Fleet in West Bend, but it shares a hose with other grades containing ethanol, so unless...

    Tach to Hobbs conversion for logging

    :rolleyes: If you didn't fly, it was not "for purposes of flight" and still doesn't count. Nice try though. And the FAA has accepted Hobbs time as valid for logbooks since about the Wright brothers. :dunno:

    Is Broken at 1300 considered VFR?

    The only time they won't already know about IFR traffic is if there's a popup. And in either case, that isn't "altering the flight rules". I don't think so, because I'm not sure I'm familiar with that one?

    Totally random trivia…

    Nope. It's I-93 where it passes through Franconia Notch State Park in New Hampshire. The last portion of I-70 was in the Glenwood Canyon, replacing US 40. It is four lanes, but it was certainly not simple to make it so and it's regarded as one of the engineering marvels of the world. Much of it...

    Hey young people, tell us what you can do!

    In case you haven't noticed - There's a massive teacher shortage now, and it's going to get MUCH worse before it gets better. The lack of respect given to one of the most important professions there is has had a big effect. Quite a few major college education departments have shut down due to...

    ForeFlight - Minimum IOS required

    Yep - I used to do a new phone every 2 years though the pace of innovation has slowed and so I'm now doing every 3 there. iPads, I do irregularly because that's what Apple does with the Mini which is my preferred one. I had the OG iPad for a few years until the Mini came out, and I did have a...

    Totally random trivia…

    Here's some interstate highway trivia: 1) What four state capitals are not served by the interstate highway system? 2) What is the only interstate that splits in two separate freeways that keep the same number? (Bonus, what four major cities does it do this for?) 3) If I told you there was an...

    Totally random trivia…

    Ooooooh. I do believe @luvflyin and I misread the question. And after further review, Santa Fe, NM and Salem, OR also begin with S and would have clued me in to my mistake if I had gotten them. And after even more review, S ties with C for the most common capital letter: Carson City, NV...

    Totally random trivia…

    Without looking, I believe you are correct: Sacramento, CA Springfield, IL St. Paul, MN Salt Lake City, UT I was able to pull up a blank spreadsheet and come up with all 50 states quite easily. Capitals, well, I embarrassed myself by only getting 32 without looking... But I got the four above...

    Totally random trivia…

    That's probably why we eat them. Because it's rarebit, not rabbit. (OK, yeah, it's commonly used both ways.) It's also probably not Welsh. Not by definition, but "boneless wings" are nothing more than adult chicken nuggets for the most part. They'll throw whatever they can call "chicken" in...

    Is Broken at 1300 considered VFR?

    I was more interested in the picture that was posted with that option. Looked like it was maybe VFR at the threshold, but that a go-around 180 could easily put you underneath a 50-foot ceiling, which doesn't sound like a good idea. The controller isn't "altering flight rules." They're giving a...

    A barbecue adventure, the saga unfolds.

    Yes! They sell those at Brewers games. So, after you have your fried chicken cheeseburger topped Bloody Mary, you can go to the ballgame and have a Pork Parfait (aka a "Porkfait").

    Hey young people, tell us what you can do!

    Ah, the old "avocado toast" theory. :rolleyes: Yes, they could have made some better decisions... But why did they make those decisions? FWIW, my wife wanted to be able to teach our kids someday, so we "needed" a house in her school district. Is there a possibility that you don't know all of...

    ForeFlight - Minimum IOS required

    It doesn't necessarily have to be the max. It *does* need to be at least one step, preferably two, higher than you think you need. It's a simple matter that you need more and more storage over time, regardless of what you're doing. If you buy an iPad Mini with 128GB today because you're only...

    [NA] Where to get Philly cheese steak?

    I think the best ones are at @AdamZ's house, with a patio full of PoAers, preferably followed with pork BBQ at the airport the next day. I sure miss that.

    ForeFlight - Minimum IOS required

    An iPad Mini 6 can be upgraded to the latest iOS (18.0.1). Any tech is... But I like that particular saying. Produce or technology, it works! :D There's more to it than that. Apple adds new functions for developers to take advantage of in every version of the OS, and that enables ForeFlight to...

    Tach to Hobbs conversion for logging

    The FAA is pretty understanding of a lot of methods, provided that you are consistent in which method you use. However, I would pay attention to actual clock time from start to shutdown as 1.2 is probably shortchanging you a little. When I joined a club that charged by tach instead of hobbs, I...

    iPad mini 7 announced

    The only issue is that the Mini is not updated regularly. There was a long wait from the mini 4 (2015) to the mini 5 (2019), and then another 2.5 years to the Mini 6. I didn't upgrade my Mini 2 to a Mini 3 because there was VERY little change (just added Touch ID, no other changes), and then the...
