I’m creeping up on 61, Instructor since 1980. Hope to add my gyroplane rating and gyroplane Instructor this spring. I’m fascinated by them!

Definitely a dynamic industry. I was number 3,445 when I signed on. Pilot group has grown to 4,400 and I'm 2,330 now, three years later. Definitely having a good time!

Were those the "good old days?" :p

Does that come with the Pilot Catheter System? ;)

NWA had Brasilias? I didn't recall that. Interesting. The Saabs are all I recalled. The "Bro" is talked about fondly by many of the Captains I flew with who started out on it at SkyWest.

Interesting. I've never seen anything like that. All our outstations have bucket trucks now.

This afternoon a friend shared a story about a demo flight he went on with head honcho of an importer of an aircraft he's looking to buy...new. When he arrived to check it out the guy was in a hurry and told him to jump in quick because he had limited time and wanted to get him up in it. Within...

It is designed to hold accumulating snow in suspension. When it's doing it's job and capturing frozen precipitation it seems to increase in "sloughability". I've watched it on deadheads several times and usually around 90-100 kts it starts sliding off with the accumulated moisture. There will...

My favorite was ABR...a little, short blond lady runs the station there and deices us in record time from an open-air bucket truck, not these fancy-schmanzy enclosed cabs with remote control spray guns that they have in MSP!

This. Might as well establish medical viability before embarking on expensive training.

That's the one I hate. :eek:

Arrive night of Tuesday 2/6, leaving Wednesday 2/7 at 2:30

Marriott Chattanooga located at 2 Carter Place. I like Waffle House!

Then I may still have you on the same-day record! :)

We leave ATL at 23:33 and are scheduled in 20 minutes past midnight. :-( If you know any places open after 1 a.m. you're on! We don't leave until 2:30p the next day, so if breakfast or lunch is an option, let me know.

I think that beats mine!

Bummer. I'll be onboard my aircraft at 12:30, then don't get back from Winterpeg until 6:40p. (2 hour sit in Canada, which is sorta strange. We're only allowed 90 minutes without clearing customs, so this will be a PITA turn.)

I leave MSP early afternoon, do a Winnipeg turn, then end up in South Bend, IN for the night on Sunday. I hit ATL the rest of the trip with overnights in MOB and CHA, both new to me.

I thought that the day I flew a two-leg trip from Pasco, WA to Minneapolis, MN to Norfolk, VA in one of our 900s. It may be as close to a coast-to-coast flight as I'll ever have in one day.

I'm sure they've been notified!
