    Changes Since Your Initial Training (Get Off My Lawn edition)

    Throw it up into the air instead. It should never reach the ground. Problem solved. My favorite was the holding fix off the Monterey, CA missed approach. It put you many miles offshore over the ocean. SHARK. It's SHOEY now. :confused:

    Changes Since Your Initial Training (Get Off My Lawn edition)

    There is no way I could have afforded to get my Private Pilot Certificate if it had cost more than the $5.00 wet for a C-150 and $5.00 for the CFI. The Cardinal RG I flew for my Commercial was $15 dry. That hurt... when I became a CFI, I felt terrible charging people $10 per hour for...

    What do you consider life changing money

    Now that I have paid off my mortgage (Yay!) and only have $4,000 in auto loan and all the usual insurance and living expenses, I am wondering if I will live long enough to enjoy retirement. I have not saved the required Million Dollars everyone tells me I need to retire and I am wondering if I...

    Talk me out of the Ford Panther platform (NA, obviously)

    Milan Dragway in Milan, Michigan. Taken during Marauderville 3 in 2005, when we drove 50+ Marauders in a line up Woodward Avenue. Man, that was fun! I won three plaques for best 60 foot for a non-power added car, best R/T and best 1/8 mile. Not fast, but quick!

    Oh Deer ... Another Plane Incident

    I hit a rabbit with a tire during a landing. He scampered away in a big hurry, so no fatalities...

    Aerodynamacists and Tattoos

    Here's the only tattoo I would put on my arm! Does anyone know how well white ink shows up on a tattoo?

    What do you consider life changing money

    Yeah, I would never pay more than $20-30 for a pair of shoes. I know how much things cost to make and I'll not pay two or three thousand percent for owning junk. Any airplane over $250K better have turbine engines, or they are not worth it.

    Talk me out of the Ford Panther platform (NA, obviously)

    My Marauder is still pretty cool... Maintenance is no biggie, except for the special Marauder parts. Keep all drag racing to the dragstrip, though...

    What do you consider life changing money

    I am short about $1.2M for retirement, due to having no plan at all. :rolleyes: That amount plus whatever a DA-62 is going for would suffice.

    Who can give endorsements?

    Sure, anyone can endorse your logbook with their signature and a statement such as "PilotX landed his airplane here at KXXX. The airplane is blue and has three wheels."

    Anyone lose it and keep it off . . .

    Simple. Cut out the carbs and sugar. Don't cheat. Don't believe the hype of special diets or supplements. I lost 30 pounds in two months and have stabilized there. I want to lose 20 more, but it takes self discipline, and meaningful exercise. And yeah, breakfast is not the most important...

    Gilligan's Island & Meowing

    Google couldn't help me with any of those, so your intent was lost to me. I'll assume it means "Thank you for your insightful remarks and have a nice day!";)

    Broward County Police Copter Down

    Any fire in flight is bad and requires immediate landing. In a helicopter, you have the best possible chance to survive if you begin an immediate descent and commit to landing on whatever is below you, regardless of suitability. Anything is better than an uncontrolled descent into the Earth...

    Broward County Police Copter Down

    I can't believe the pilot was not in an immediate descent to land anywhere. Structural fires in a helicopter require landing ASAP!
