    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    Just make sure the audio is delayed a bit and not matched with what you are actually saying, a la Kung Fu shows from the 70's. It'll be a riot.

    Which states are most affordable for aviation?

    I knew I should have taken that job in Iowa! Our non-existent hangars will be $300/ month if they ever get built. I live in small town SC. Yes, that small town.

    Hello From The Great Pacific Northwest

    Welcome. I am also another Washington ex-pat. Most of my FAA logbook entries come from WA and OR, mostly WA.

    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    Sunday I thought I had just witnessed a near miss from a loss of separation while driving on Joint Base Charleston. I saw a 737 a couple of hundred feet off the ground in a steep (for an airliner) right turn over the base and another jet at the same altitude turning hard left. I checked on here...

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    The nuclear Navy refers to that as an "answer by accident," or simply ABA. Actually, that is more sad than funny. That I can remember what ABA means and not the name of the person who just introduced themselves to me 2 minutes ago.

    (NA) Not a LEO, but. . .

    In my line of work, we have camera systems that were designed to improve public safety, and in most cases they do. However, these camera systems (and their associated HDs) are controlled by the user and not by the agency responsible for monitoring "safe behaviors." I have found that whenever the...

    The most frustrating aviation scene of all time?

    The non-sensical use of aileron rolls in every dog fight scene ever. I'm looking at you Iron Eagle.

    What are the advantages of X-plane 12?

    I am not a fan of the "new" failure mode where everything turns magenta and white. When it is working as it should though, it is a clear upgrade to XP11 in many aspects.

    Home of the Fighting Armadillos right? From that one movie... Also, the alma matter to most of The Eagles if my memory serves.

    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    I once bought a new Fit that came with lifetime free oil changes at the dealership. Then I moved 2500 miles away to the left coast. "Needs of the Navy." So I sold it and got something more useful, a Challenger.

    Drone and fighter bump

    It's an old tale. Country X sends out its Soviet-era attack aircraft and takes a few potshots at the unmanned/unarmed drone operating in international airspace. The associated Theater Commander gets all heated about it and adds a dozen (or so) sorties a day to escort the unmanned asset with...

    Drone and fighter bump

    Do you mean like in 2012 when we sent manned hornets to escort the unmanned drone? That was a colossal embarrassment. No thanks.

    Your Dumbest Benign Moment

    I once flew 72 nm to my IR check ride only to find out that I'd left my wallet in my car back at the home drome with my PPL safely inside it. Lucky for me, my instructor had made the trip with me. We hopped right into the P28 and flew back to retrieve the necessary document. I returned for the...
