I have a 1982 low time Piper Warrior at Chandler I have decided to sell. I am in the Houston area and would rather not ferry it home to sell but it’s an option. It’s served its purpose as a time builder for the kid who is out there temporarily finishing her ratings. Logistically for us it just...

I have a log book for flight reviews, ratings,an my basic med. Call me whatever…it works for me.

I have no overhead and been quite successful at below market rates…with the right buyer. Half a point and a decent down payment on a secured note…it’s a no brainer.

Hilarious some of the advice…if the mortgage is secured by the property and the numbers work for her and the the heirs why not? I have done this several times with both commercial Medical space and private property. My wife calls it mailbox money…I don’t manage property…I have no overhead and...

When I started in the 64 the peddles said Hughes…

TADS was the reason it all worked… 7 years flying AH-1s and 13 flying AH-64s also Aeroscout Trac Flying OH-58’s…

Helicopters are like dismounted infantry in the assault…without combined arms support from Artillery and Ground forces and a CAP above they are toast unless fighting at night…then our odds get better. It’s really that simple. 20 plus years as an Army Attack pilot opinion only…mileage may vary…

It’s sort of funny Air Force never had an interest but the Navy had two that they tested and ended up in my Unit. Task loading exceeded their Pilot requirements for operation and they punted keeping simpler Cobras for the Marines. I called them the blue light specials as the interior night...

Modern Hydra 70, 2.75 rockets from a fused pod on an AH-64 are really a very effective weapon and come close to a point vs area weapon…unlike the dumb free fire Mark 40, 17 and 10 pound rockets. That being said if you fire 4 pairs and use Kentucky windage old school rockets come real close to...

Buy a second or third tier EFL football team and try and get promoted…yes I like soccer that much.

Drove a F250 for years then finally figured out a 4WD F150 was easier to park and met all my needs…did I mention it’s easier to park?

God help us…but would expect nothing less…

I know my daughter who has a British passport through me has looked at it and said it was not worth the effort for the pay…absolutely worthless data point I know and only thing I know about this subject.

Fly to Cozumel stay in one of the dive hotels and do what you planned…RDU to CZM round trip on United that week is under $500. Trust me the bikini clad youth will be across the Cozumel Channel from Tulum to Cancun…

I am British by birth and grudgingly spend time in the Capital as my wife loves the city…I will be there for the second time in 4 months in a couple of weeks and pass through several times a year on average. There is London, then there is the rest of England…I prefer the latter. If I was going...

I was never a Blackhawk rated although flew familiarization hours as AVLOC test pilot and spent many an hour in the back with a Command Console…UH-1,OH-58, but Primarily AH-1 and AH-64. The early stab failures were and issue but training as discussed eliminated that and spindle failure was a...

I was a Witness to a blade loss (spindle break) in a Blackhawk at FT Rucker flying a UH-1 out of TacX…the aircraft destroyed itself on the way down…clouds of hydraulic fluid enveloping the aircraft… still etched in my mind 35 plus years later…to absent companions. May they Rest In Peace.

Since we have no answers on why we are conducting Air to Air Combat over the county…might as well laugh…

More than likely a general broadcast on channel 16 and 22a on VHF with a box navigation area coordinates…there is a CC notice to mariner system but it’s not that responsive and you need the internet. Preplanned events like missile launches from the cape get a little more notice. I am sure it was...
