    Let’s all give a big thank you to @FlyingMonkey His video made a difference. Too bad some folks here complained about him promoting his videos and he quit coming around.

    Do you call when you're the unknown traffic

    ANA is nastay

    Round trip Almost double what it was before Covid. Still an imbalance of supply and demand going to Asia, and with the no overflight of Russia, it adds a few hours to the flights

    Van’s Aircraft Facing Challenges

    I'm not certain on this, but with them saying shipping cost was 5x, that tells me they had these laser cut in China. I make aluminum parts in Mexico and China, and you can do the nesting and layout cuts for them, but they ALWAYS change it. I have had to hire a guy to stand in a factory that...

    What do you consider life changing money
