Back when SNL was great

Same arrival according to NOS. Strangely Jepp does not include KCLW on their charts. If I do not hear descend via I stay at my current altitude or whatever new one ATC assigns. If I am on a descend via arrival and have not gotten a descend via clearance, by when I need to descend to make a...

Are you are asking about BRDGE9 at KTPA? It is not a descend via arrival. The altitudes at BRDGE say EXPECT.

Party line, gun rack in trucks at school, no headsets, flying airplanes without electrical systems, ADF and VLF/Omega. Having to call FSS on the radio to get wx updates enroute, instead of pressing buttons. No cell phone, internet, or GPS.

Back in the 90's Falcon Jet KLIT did an inspection my old Falcon 20. First time to really inspect the fuel tanks, 12-year inspection, I think. They found a wrench in one of them. It had been in there since the plane was new! It was engraved and LIT tracked it to the original owner and returned...

Our company pays personal property tax on our planes to Dallas County. I just saw the bill for our C340, and it was almost $5,700. From what I understand, only a few counties have PP tax.

See if you can post your record on https://groundspeedrecords.com/ I had the record for a while, but I see someone has beat me with a speed over 600K in a Citation Ultra. Now I am not even in 3rd place.

When I was growing up my dad flew for Continental and his best friend flew Corporate. I am close to Retirment now and did what Uncle Ray did and flew Corporate, it has worked out great. Worst thing growing up while dad flew for the airlines. Was when mom's dad died, I had to tell her. This was...

It is what it is, deal with it. Most twin Cessna's are similar. Know the airplane systems!

Our Citation has 2 750's, a 345R and Skywatch 899. The 899 traffic will show on the 750's. I may be wrong but I believe the 899 is connected to the 345R.

They shouldn’t have made more than one pass.

Back when I was into old cars, I liked the Holley carbs. They were easy to rebuild and change the jets. I was not very successful with the Rodchesters.

Looks like an aerial patrol/survey flight. They did the same route on 10/8. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N738PG/history/20241008/1328Z/LS09/T20

Does it help that we were living in Ennis when they happened, yes twice. :) It was on the second floor of our house! After the second time I got very careful going to the bathroom during the night. Last time I saw one was on the third story of a hotel in Tuscon about two years ago.

When I was a kid, I stepped on a scorpion more than once in Texas. Years later we had friends visiting us, from San Antonio, on our boat in Bonaire. They got in late, and we left their luggage in the cockpit for the night. Next morning there was a female scorpion in the cockpit. We know it was...

Old story that happened before 9/11. We flew some hunters into DCA from upstate NY. Most of the passengers were flying out on the airlines. The chief pilot and I went with them and a Butler employee to the terminal. Butler employee drives up to an empty jetway and escorts us to the check in...

I remember seeing it at PBI several years ago.

I thought they were quite nimble.
