Trick question, this is 'merikka, our airports have THREE letter identifiers.

A: Yes, because I have flown an Ercoupe... What's a flotsam?

Explain the meaning of life. Cite three examples. (Question blatantly stolen from my high-school philosophy teacher, Mr. Jim Feeley (RIP).)

Site won't link, but google "nine out of ten doctors smoke Camels." T'was a dif'nt world not so long ago (and some is better now but some is worse).

Apollo 18

Like the famous (second) flag raising on Mount Suribachi.

Very sad, RIP, and a tough road ahead for the survivor. A very beautiful area. Many, many, years ago I enjoyed a flight to and back from the island on an Aztec. Apparently the Piper had replaced a Cessna Bobcat, there were several framed photos of it in both terminals.

Years ago I worked for a freight forwarding company that lost a lot of money because their cut rate computer programmer mistakenly coded several nodes on a geographic information system with the same (supposed to be discrete) code. The computer, not being sentient, then used these far flung...

Ah, the Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi) school of Aviation Maintenance and Karate, "wax on-- wax off."

I realize you are an Administrator. But based on my experience, I don't believe there is any rule (or even suggestion) that anyone actually READ the OP before responding with their own "nuggets of wisdom." :)

Be nice, Dick's my hero. (NOTE: This is not a POLITICAL opinion. I just admire his quail hunting prowess.)

Ah, an alternative to the "in order to make a small fortune in aviation, start with a much larger one" plan. :)

You do realize that statement can be taken in two distinctly different ways...

I seem to recall a story about somebody who started an outfitting company and benefitted greatly from the lack of experience the supply clerks at military disposals had comprehending NSNs. He would order old but not quite expired C-rations, and the like, using the NSN for the individual item...

I'm probably putting too much thought into this. I have space in the garage for 40 or 50 more tailwheels. If it were any other online purchase I wouldn't care. I guess I think of aviation as being a kind of fraternity. I love that I can get a part for a 50 year old Cessna from Univair, Vantage...

Comments about lions on board the airplane would be culturally insensitive I suppose...

I just bought a Cessna 150. I noticed its tailwheel was missing (not really but I don't want to say exactly what it was that I bought or from whom) so on Sept 28 I went online and purchased one, $325.00 plus $22.00 shipping. It arrived October 4th. A second one arrived the next week. I...

I've been buying insurance for over 30 years. Never had a company inspect me (health), my home, my car, my boat, my airplane. Fill out the forms, and the wonks say yes 95% of the time and no 5%... No idea why, only ever had a claim during a natural disaster, and my claim for a new roof and...

"Stand up... Hook up... Shuffle to the door..." "Move... Single file... Feet together, knees bent, roll..." (And I got paid $63.00 IIRC.)

character... Character... or caricature? :)
