    I just watched a video of that destination and added it to my list of someday-trips.

    Is it just me?

    I wonder if theres a subconscious feeling of invincibility with yuuge planes and yuuger weather? Would they have tried that in a King Air? Baron? Taylorcraft?

    Finally some closure for family

    Thats a long time to have no real closure. Intellectually you would know they crashed somewhere and died, but Im sure it would gnaw at you wondering about the possibilities.

    How important is switching to Apple OS?

    You guys are killin me! I agree that my kids should learn paper like I did, but so far I like iFly as a next step. My oldest and I will probably do instrument together and we can both figure it out then.

    How important is switching to Apple OS?

    Great input! Thanks! All 4 kids have android phones with screenshot capturing software so we can keep reasonably close eyes on what they do. Their laptops have the same software, and the phones and computers all have to stay downstairs. I like the android platform because there is some...

    How important is switching to Apple OS?

    Android guy here. I've always disliked Apple products because of their incompatibility with non-Apple stuff as well as their far left political contribution. I dont Facebook either. Yeah, one of THOSE guys. I'm getting back into aviation and my kids are just starting out, and it seems like...

    Airplane as a business expense/deduction/write off, whatever?

    Good find! I think this interpretation (if it hasnt been superceded by something worse) would possibly exclude my intentions. I was thinking I could consider the expenses incurred getting my wife to and fro as incidental. We currently work at the same hospital, at the same time and I always...

    Airplane as a business expense/deduction/write off, whatever?

    I appreciate everyone's input. What FAR or case law says that by building time in my logbook I'm being compensated? Im choosing an OLD 172 because... i can afford it. Pretty much. I bought a pile of aluminum (50% completed Zenith 801) and fully intend to complete it, but now I have a kid...

    Airplane as a business expense/deduction/write off, whatever?

    As I understand it, Travel Nurses are subcontractors with staffing agencies who contract with hospitals. Typically their travel and lodging is a business expense since they stay for days or weeks on end. My wife has found 13 week assignments that are 8 days on (12 hr shifts) and 8 days off...

    How should I do schooling?

    It seems that more employers want a 4 year degree of some sort regardless of major. Its easier to make a pilot into a teacher than make a teacher into a pilot if that makes sense. If college is paid for, get an aviation degree. One route to consider exploring is to take community college...

    Airplane as a business expense/deduction/write off, whatever?

    Good info thanks! The only way owning a plane could be more appealing is if it pays for itself.

    Good job getting it down at an airport and staying out of the news. So....Is Jimminy going to get current and start flying again?

    Trent Palmer (YouTuber Bush Pilot Channel) Suspended By FAA

    If any evidence supports his low altitude "knife edge" aerobatics, wouldnt they charge him with that? I think part of the problem i have with this all is that the evidence is some Karen's whiny statement and grainy cellphone video of another video screen. If my neighbor had a runway, I'd want...

    34, feeling lost, lonely

    Try a few different churches with young singles groups. They probably indicate on their websites. If you dont have a particular religious slant, I'd suggest non-denominational churches as they tend to be less pushy and militant about their particular interpretation. It can be a good place to...

    Auto conversion ideas

    Yeah I chatted with a guy who stopped in with a corvette-seabee. He said it was worlds better than a stock seabee and that Experimental-Exhibition isnt much of an impediment to his use and enjoyment of the plane.

    Auto conversion ideas

    I emailed Corsair power and I was surprised to get a quick reply. By all accounts their design functions well but the hurdles of FAA certification to put it on certified aircraft are too high. I asked if they would offer FWF kits for homebuilts but Jay indicated that the FAA was making that...

    Bill Anders, Apollo 8 astronaut, crashes in Puget Sound

    Wow. Better than fading away in a convalescent hospital. Maybe not for the T-34, though.

    Trent Palmer (YouTuber Bush Pilot Channel) Suspended By FAA

    If there was a spot on his friend's property that was legal and safe to land, I dont see how he broke any rules. It may have annoyed the neighbor, but I dont feel sorry for anyone who complains about airplanes used for safe and legal activities. I see this case as governmental overreach and...
