    How is the post about Dan Gryder not a personal attack???

    If Dan Gryder is not considered a person, then no personal attack occurred and the RoC remains untrampled. Thus I suggest you are obligated to prove to us that Dan Gryder is human and not an AI trained on trash data and clickbait news style. Go. :) ...separately, I interpret personal attack...

    Best accessories for Mini iPad 6: Screen protector, cases, and mounts

    EZ-Roller RAM cradle and a suction cup mount. I hop planes too often for much else. Most planes have "that spot" which is ideal to stick the cup into. Usually in the low corner of the windscreen or the storm window on the pilot side plexi. Never used a screen protector either. I DO use...

    Like I said, TIL :) Was therapeutic anyway and cost peanuts.

    Wiggins 1046, B99 N53RP down outside of KMHT 1/26/24

    I don't miss that door or the ladder used to clamber up into it every morning. Glad this dude survived. The 99 is hella stout, but that had to be a miserable fight to get it back to earth in mostly one piece.

    National Association of Realtors verdict.

    Before knowing anything else, I view a broker-listed aircraft ad on Controller very differently than an ebay listing from boats-planes-cars or whoever that one flat-rate idiot in Florida is. I'm the same with FSBO houses vs. brokered houses. If I'm looking for something very specific, and it's...

    A Moderate Request for Our Beloved Moderators

    I have no idea how many of those they lock, and no faith that any 10 words they might offer would do anything but invite a ****storm of debate, ridicule, and calls of either over-moderation or under-moderation. Ridiculous is asking for more time than they already donate. Ask not what your...

    A Moderate Request for Our Beloved Moderators

    Call me crazy but maybe we should be finding ways to reduce the workload on the unpaid volunteers instead of asking for new work out of them? I vote Half Fast be the one who reviews and approves the new user signups. Any scammers/spammers who get through = a 1 day ban so he can learn to get...

    I replaced a rotocoil and lapped a valve based on this image in the borescope Today I learned I wasted $20 and am a schmuck of the third water. :P

    A Moderate Request for Our Beloved Moderators

    I think 4chan actually got this right by adding the [this user was warned for this post] and [this user was banned for this post] footer on the posts. I also think they got it right by posting IP address and country of IP origin. I know VPNs are a thing, but... helps sniff out fish early in a...

    Revoked license.

    The temp towers I'm familiar with would monitor the old unicom freq and sort of actively guide inbound planes to the new tower freq. Unless he was also NORDO I don't see how he ended up so deeply in the soup. No matter, just idly curious about it. The story as-presented seems to be missing...

    Revoked license.

    I would be annoyed to fly with a current sectional and get caught by a "lol, jk, class d" situation. I've never seen that happen other than firefighting and TFRs. I would be doubly annoyed if this surprise jack-in-the-tower then made a deviation out of it -- this seems like it called for grace...

    FlightsForBites.com

    :D I bet your traffic logs have oodles of 404 and 500 errors from attempts to access common control panel urls, backdoors, and known exploits. Mine all do. Offer stands, even if just to play around, give a shout whenever :)

    FlightsForBites.com

    Old post, sorry for the lagged reply, but this sorta surprises me. Everytime I poke something out into the big bad internet on port 80, it receives 10s of thousands of script kiddie trash daily, from the jump.

    If there's a way to ignore entire subforums, I'd vote opposite you to those :D

    Daughter wants a fun car, dad wants something more practical.

    Just give her the 10 grand you've committed and make it her problem. I can only go from my relationship with my parents but their idea of "fun" never aligned with my own when I was that age. I strongly suspect, if she's clever, it will be spent on something un-fun and reliable like a corolla...

    I am familiar with plenty of high-priced aircraft rentals that are also poorly maintained.

    PPR and Landing Fee Nonsense Again in Vegas for Superbowl

    The alternative being a lottery system? First come, first served? Both of those may result in "no admission please" so which is better? I suppose it depends on how badly you want to visit jellystone. :) Most pilots I know are alpha types and will work to secure a thing they want. Money seems a...

    [NA] Who's enjoying this "arctic blast"?

    I'm at a client function in downtown Philly this week. 25ish outside. I brought my warmest cali gear (jeans, hoodie, even a long sleeved shirt) and it's very insufficient to walk the streets here. My effective range is about 5 city blocks before I need to flee to shelter and thaw out and post...
