I used to go watch the Dodgers in the early 1960s for 50 cents, kids ticket. I think Dad was $1.50 in General Admission, which was the upper deck at Dodger Stadium. Reserved was $2.50. Once in a while, Dad would splurge and we got to sit closer. Gas was around .22 per gallon, although I vaguely...

In my experience, the Power Flow really wakes the Cherokee 140 up. Especially coupled with the 160hp STC. You may need to re-pitch the prop. Very much worth the investment.

That would be fun. And yes, a PC-12.

I fly the work plane to VGT occasionally and hear very little pattern work. For what it's worth, I'd try early in the morning, if anything. I've always found the tower controllers at VGT to be very helpful. Please tell Bill, Happy Birthday, for me. Hope you guys have a great flight!!!

Agreed. I used to fly a club Cherokee and one of the members hit a steel pole with a wingtip. Didn't look like much until you looked at the wing root. Big gap at the leading edge while the trailing edge had been pushed up against the fuselage. Something had been bent or broken. The guy flew it...

And the beer. Don't forget the beer. ;)

10 year Alaska seasonal pilot here. Never wanted to stay through the winter and had a winter flying gig in the L48. To fly floats, you'll generally need a fair amount of time on floats, likely 500 hours. My last employer would sometimes hire low time pilots for VFR only on wheels and if they...

Flew SE Alaska for 10 yrs. Seaplanes was my most recent employer there and rented a room from the Lokens, though they no longer own the company.

I used to ferry aircraft for two dealers, both of whom would often run into old liens. Aerospace Reports was their go-to escrow/title company to get this type of stuff cleared.

Have you been to this FBO before and did you know they charge for ramp use beforehand? Although I don't own it, I fly a PC12 and know there will be ramp and/or parking fees at Atlantic, Signature, etc. if I don't buy fuel. Usually 100 gallons. Whether you used their facilities or not, you parked...

That's more pineapple than usual on a pizza, but it still looks tasty. I love pineapple on pizza. No dislike here.

Apparently, you've forgotten your time in Juneau. ;)

Firing squad please. Or just give me a gun.

At my last scheduled 135 carrier in Alaska, pilots were required to take a basic life saving/CPR course with the local fire dept. Now, flying medevac, I have a med crew back there for that stuff.

This. I usually file with Fltplan.com but sometimes Foreflight. As soon as I get the "filed" notification, the clearance is available from the appropriate CD. Usually within 60-90 seconds. When I was flying in Alaska, I'd sometimes forget to file or have to re-file after a delay while on the...

Nice. Congrats on passing the checkride. I love Flabob and the cafe there.

Sounds fun. To Ohio and back from where?

This makes no sense. If you are Nordo, you need to be predictable to ATC. Hold as published or otherwise instructed and let ATC issue other instructions to non-nordo aircraft to keep you clear. And as Russ pointed out, you'll be penetrating the most violated R areas in SoCal.

Congrats. My first solo was in a glider as well. I may have scared the instructor.
