It seems to be moving toward the passes. For the resorts in the epic system there are also '5 in 7' type passes that are a little bit cheaper than the counter price . Whether you buy annual or that type of deal, you have to buy ahead of time.

Not sure that requires a rant. It's a common enough business arrangement in the flight school market. A simple 'thanks for the offer but we are not interested' should be all that it takes. I had a colleague who ran an entire business of leasing trainer aircraft to flight schools . Never lacked...

It's available. Owners in the salt areas will often do that. Still leaves the bed supports to rust off, but frame and body panels seem to last longer.

A long time before the newspeak term 'acting the wage' was invented.

Worked nights for 10 years. I found that hotels are ill suited for day sleeping. Housekeeping may skip your room, they won't skip vacuuming the hallway..... Eventually I got myself a small apartment in a building with poured concrete floors. Blacked out the windows and ran a little fan in the...

In Park City with the fam today. Didn't buy any of the passes ahead of time. So this morning I had the joy of paying for rental lessons, passes at the counter this morning. That was a bit traumatic . I work 20 minutes from Seven Springs in PA. So for next year I am going to buy an unrestricted...

Buy a cab&chassis through fleet sales and put an aluminum flatbed on it. Inside it's still a truck with a metal key and rubber footmats, not a 'SUV with a bed'. Get the NA V8. Your trailers don't seem to be terribly heavy and long term it's just less stuff that can break. Most of the fleet users...

In the aviation context, the problem is not the height of the hills we call mountains around here. It is the weather incompatible with VFR flight they like to generate. Widespread thunderstorms in the summer and fogged in valleys and mountain obscuration in the winter.

On second thought, looks more like a rubber washer.

The number of expected deaths for the week of 8/18/18 was 50,726 For the same week 2019 53,621 2020 53,581 2021 54,263 2022 53,030 It's an actuarial estimate and total population doesn't matter as much as 'population likely to die' iow 'old peoples'.

You claim authority in 'hard science' and you quote an editorial as your evidence. Lol.

'Operation safe pilot' in 2003 was done by the FAA, not SSA. In the current sweep, the veterans/pilots are receiving the letter of investigation from the FAA, not the VA inspector general. These are definitely FAA investigations. As to the privacy act thing. Since they got slapped down on the...

There is no button the FAA can press to get your past diagnoses and medical records. Every couple of years they go on a fishing expedition and crossmatch a government database with the medicals. This happened with the SSI-Disability DB 10+ years ago and with the VA disability DB more recently...

I have had good service out of yellow top Optimas.

It would appear to me that this is not a 'problem' as much as it is a side effect of democracy in action.

That's a company riding on a myth. Last two pairs I bought were cheap chinesium sh¡t with easy to scratch polycarbonate lenses. Oh, and they were polarized so things were wobbly if you turned your head and LCD screens were black. Just awful.

Damage to landing gear and prop only does not count toward the dollar threshold for reportable incidents.

Lol. 10 years ago the folks who recruited me told me 'CAP today is nothing like what you hear about'. Well, it was. Not so much the yokels and goobers, but it was just mired in idle buerocracy. I went back and forth for work, so I could be in either. It was easier to get stuff done working...

Located someone on a gravel bar a few years back. Iirc a boater. (which is something our little fire department does a few times every year. I happen to be one of the boat operators. And guess what, if I need aviation support for a search, I don't call the CAP liasion, no dispatch picks up a...
