Ah, yes. I'd have made it in by... tomorrow. Maybe. :goofy:

I fervently hope to never pull THAT kind of stupid trick :lol: And yes, I can't really complain - 0.6 on the Hobbs in such a gorgeous weather over the SF bay is never something to complain about. The addition of the new technology (Aero Glass) made the flight more interesting, too. Just...

Now if I could land it in the Petaluma river near downtown Petaluma... I would!

You forgot stupid plane owner. I am living walking proof that several wrongs make a right!

Same here, except for me it's time, not money. Different sides of the same coin, really.

Yeah, the oil town.

EVERYTHING was trying to tell me that, I just didn't bother to listen. I refer you to the word "stupid" in the thread title :lol:

Done.

This is a crosspost from the internal forums for the Aero Glass beta testers. For some comments that are not included below: I do like the technology, and the glasses are surprisingly comfortable in flight even worn on top of my near-vision glasses (surprise!). The augmented reality aspect...

So it's a gorgeous day here in the SF bay area - one of those that make people pay stupid money to live here. I decide it's a perfect day for me to "fly and bike" to the office instead of driving. It's not any less time - comparable - but I get some exercise, I get to fly, I get to ride my...

Try visiting Fargo some time. $500+/night in a Hampton's Inn any night of any week, pretty much.

As an interesting side story, the AME that did the exam was the same one I used initially. Really cool guy. I reminded him how skeptical he was when I first went for it - he essentially said it was impossible. He was utterly shocked that I was able to obtain a class 3. He kept repeating...

Mission accomplished! I am in possession of my newly issued class 3 medical. Now to go flying :)

Shoot, you can get arrested for shouting at your kid and banging on the wall these days.

Precisely. I would also argue that the neighbor was acting as a stalker. As the parent, I most certainly would sue both the neighbor and the state.

CPS is required to follow up on complaints. We don't know what the neighbor said - probably made it sounds bad enough by using trigger words (like "neglect"). I don't have a problem with that, per se. If this WAS a real case of neglect (remember, CPS doesn't know what's actually happening...

Both. I did write to Bruce, and he first challenged me on my statements (good approach, I think, although it can be offputting at first), and then once I reaffirmed them, offered his services by giving me instructions on how to get the FAA to send him the records for review. By that time...

Quick update: I just got a letter from OKC telling me I am pre-authorized for a class 3 medical, but I have to see an AME for a flight physical. The letter gives the AME the ability to issue me the medical on the spot (which would not otherwise have been the case). Thank... goodness...

Downloaded before it gets taken off. Which it will.

AP, I had no idea, and I have no words. I know it has been a few years but I can imagine it being like yesterday. I am so sorry. If I may ask, which of the parents was your child?
