M'Lady is 5'4" and has flown 172's to 777's. Don't overthink it.

I have taken tens of trips of 800 miles or more in General Aviation planes more than 20 years old in the last ten years. I have never been stranded for mechanical reasons (knocking on my head, wood). I have not flown a plane less than 20 years old in a long time. I have taken commercial...

Before we were given M’lady’s recent most excellent corporate rate hack for leisure travel, I had good success googling travel forums for “best corporate codes?” with pretty good intel for those that never got challenged for proof of eligibility. But I usually made a back up reservation, just because.

We did four nights at SPG a few years ago for spring training and Grand Prix racing. As stated, great place and great FBO. Actually, the opposite in my experience. Many years ago the boss lent me a traffic plane to go down there for an NFL playoff game. My young kids were troopers, got up...

Our grandpuppy, Cooper (right), and his younger cuz', my brother's pup Chilli. The family's desire to get them together regularly is my path to a bigger plane, as the 30 hour round trip car drive has been determined to be a bit much.

The cockpit is not that tight. Maintenance and engine replacement (notice I did not say overhaul)? Fuhgetaboutit!

That was beyond a hook slap, plat camera loses sight of the gear. Just sayin'.

As a former ‘69 Arrow guy, that’s a nice one, and seems like good value in this new market we live in. High time doesn’t bother me as long as it was regularly flown and cared for, just consider and deal with the spar AD.

Oh, the agony!

Make your decision first on where to spend your money. Consider, after you get your IFR, will you be happy with the current state of your airplane, if the decision is to rent? Can you afford to rent now and upgrade later, or is it one or the other? If you decide to upgrade, look to install...

"Short, heavy landing"? There's a fuel ladder that should prove it was not heavy (might be a bit wet, or I suppose they're digital these days?). Short, ya, I'd say so. Is there shorthand for "Fly through down INTO the Ramp"?

Will one of you smarty pants just out the tractor beam the aliens gave us and we can be done with mishaps like this supposedly was. Please!

Eastern Shore of Maryland has been flush with them in recent years. I have seen them often just under pattern altitude at W29, often see them fighting with the turkey buzzards for the deer carcasses on the side of the road, particularly in the winter. They used to just fly by the front porch...

Mailing address for the GAAA?

Prepping and removing polyps every five years is like hitting Blackjack. Butt Cancer death is not a fun way to go.

The prep issues vs. not testing: chicken dinner rules apply. Go early, go often.

HOLY ESS! A Jesse sighting! Back on topic, I am really glad to be in a good position vehicle-wise right now. We have everything we need vehicularly. I keep telling my adult children don't, when they ask about cars. Just wait. We are waiting, in the Bronco reservation queue. That is...

Ya' know Huckster, that really sucks. But what a great story and awesome memories. I would have never known had you not posted. Keep that story telling going, the tongue in the raft tells me he would have wanted that!

Which then cheats us out of a proper drinking and flying story? Still guilty!

A pry bar is a fairly aggressive tool, I'd be most curious why it was being used.
