    TailSpin

    You are thinking of Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers. Love me some Talespin! Definately my favorite cartoon growing up, and the first dvd set I bought for my kids. I'll happily watch it anytime the kids are interested.

    Mountain flying

    Yeah, standard 182 should be fine at most strips in the US. I don't do any Vy climbs at altitude, but mine will hold a 500-700 fpm cruise climb up to about 8500 with the prop pulled back in the green and about 20 mph above Vy. Vy at max available power should get you a decent climb rate at all...

    How To Ski Like A Texan

    Well, I don't claim to be Billy Kidd, but you might be surprised what a week or two per year on the slopes for 35 years in a row, starting at two years old, will do for a flatlander. None of us plan on trying out for the Olympics, but you should probably check your local zoo for the new...

    How To Ski Like A Texan

    Wow. I'm glad none of that applies to we Okies ;) After nearly 40 straight years of heading into the hills for the puffy white stuff, we blend in pretty good. They only way you can tell us apart from the locals is our license plates and friendliness.

    What's the best vacation you have ever had?

    Scotland! The wife and I spent two weeks travelling around the small country. Based ourselves mostly in Edinburgh and travelled outward from there. I'm not much of a city kind of guy, but I could hang in Edinburgh for quite a while without boredom setting in. Old town Edinburgh, up the...

    Ideal Flying Video?

    The truth is, these are great people. Jaime does happen to be quite a looker, but they are far from trashy. They did a series of vids flying around the Bahamas, and believe it or not, women often wear bikinis in the Bahamas. I'm sure they are aware that her looks are a draw, but as you know...

    What is your favorite pie?

    I got no qualms with that. Just not a fan of the ol' orange gourd.

    Just picked up a sweet 175 :-)

    Nice find, dude. Really good looking bird. I almost bought one a few years ago. I liked the performance for the price. Definitely a noticeable increase in performance over a 182. Ended up with a 182 instead, but I have not qualms with the 175 like many others do. I still don't think the...

    Worst/best drivers by state

    The Good: In general, I don't have any problem with drivers in the Plains States. We have wide open spaces, and a lot of ground to cover, so everybody is pretty good about keeping things moving, and although you will find left lane campers, they will usually get over if you get up close. I...

    What would you like to add to your arsenal?

    Would really like a Garand one of these days, as well as an M14. Been wanting to build an XM21, Vietnam era sniper rifle based on the M14. My uncle used one in Nam and I'd love to present one to him. Ruger GP100 in .357 Mag Remington model 7600 Pump Action 30-06 Tommy Gun

    Was followed today.

    Lawton is rough to this day. My cousin worked as an undercover narcotics agent down there for awhile. He complained often about the large Bandidos presence as well as major cartel activity. I wish Fort Sill north of town could train their field artillery south and raise a few hoods to the...

    The truth of being maried w/ kids exposed....

    Wonderful to hear. We were both 23 when we married. We waited 3 years for her to finish college at the insistence of her folks (which drove me nuts at the time, but she wanted to honor her parents) . I would have married her at 20 in a heartbeat and it wouldn't have been any different for...

    The truth of being maried w/ kids exposed....

    Everybody's experience is different. I actually think marriage has been easy, and nothing but enjoyable. We are both easy going folks, but more importantly, we align on all major things like God, family, money management, education, politics, etc. We don't sweat the small stuff and trust each...

    Grounded indefinitely

    Holy crap, Nate. I've been wondering about you, and I hate to hear the reason for you absence. This is a bum deal, brother, but I love the positive attitude. I wish you all the luck in the world with this, and I really hope it's something that can be improved. I don't know if you are a...
