    Aviation Ringtones, notification sounds...

    I use "ATC chatter" as the ringtone for a couple of CFI friends. And, yes, I've used the Blue Oyster Cult "Godzilla" for other friends, too. In fact, a couple of BOC tunes make my list, and a couple of Thin Lizzy opening riffs, too. Right now, my default ring tone is "Pick Up The Pieces,"...

    Plane Names & Nose/Tail Art

    "Oh, you could use a photo of my ex-wife/husband/boss/girlfriend/boyfriend/car/house, etc." That was just too easy a target! Great tee-up, and we'll see who else responds!

    [NA] Non-Flanged Plumbing

    Say, while we're kinda near the subject... I think I need a new Pressure Regulator Valve. Like Ron, it seems like there will be vastly increased peace of mind if I pay the nice professional versus saving the money by doing it myself and lose the sleep waiting for the sound of the waterfall...

    Ownership low-down

    Interesting and informative discussion, thanks all. Obviously, this is a very pro-general aviation community, and we encourage flying! There's been good discussion on the financial and time demands. May I offer some other considerations: OP, you said it's four hours driving. What do you (or...

    Billings MT Pirep

    You're more likely to get freeloading Coloradoans visit you in Montana! I bet the sightseeing is world's better than where you are now. I'd think the economic opportunities could be tough, unless you can both work remotely. It's fairly isolated. So, overall, not much to add you don't already...

    Katamarino's Round the World flight

    "Intrepid British explorer risks all to fight off horde of vicious attacking killer bees!" Glad you were successful. The rest of the trip is still overwhelmingly wonderful - thanks for continuing to share!
