Several and adding more. Last month I tried to get a list of airports from them, and they will not give out the list. Below was the unhelpful reply. Hello, Thank you for contacting Vector. As a private company, we do not publicize our client list. However, any airports to whom we provide...

For 17 years and yes. Stripping off of the old layers is no fun but I have found that PBS last longer than Goodrich. I now use a local aircraft cleaner that strips off old layers and adds the new layers for $300, Citation 560 Ultra. Last time was 5/2022. I usually add 2-3 new layers every 3-4...

Back in the 80's and 90's I helped manage a private airport with an NDB and later a NDB/GPS approach. I want to say it cost 2-3,000 dollars a year to have it flight checked plus the cost of keeping the NDB operational. Back then if someone wanted to use our approach, I would just fax them the...

Our company has a corporate account with Hertz, and everyone is a Gold Member or higher. With the Corporate account the rates are usually very competitive. We do a lot of day trips and I set up the arrival time 1-2 hours before our planed arrival. Sometimes I will give an afternoon arrival time...

We use them in shish kabobs or stews,

I actually like that a dive shop in Guam has a picture, that they stole off the internet. It is for their trips to Kosrae but the picture is of our old boat at St. Lucia. Not even the right ocean. https://www.mdaguam.com/kosrae/

Below is the old one. I still use it for longer range winds aloft forecast. Everything I have checked on it still works and is up to date. Hope it keeps working. https://aviationweather-cprk.ncep.noaa.gov/

I have gone from 225 to 205 in the last 6 months. Some was from eating better but I think most of it was being too busy to snack. Mom was in the hospital 3 times this summer. Moved her to a assisted living near us, sold her house, cars and most everything. She has not been in a hospital since. I...

When I first started reading your post, I thought you were talking about us. 10 years ago, I helped move a friend's sailboat from Clear Lake to Corpus Christi. We checked the lights the night before we did the overnight offshore leg from Freeport to Corpus and they worked. Next evening, offshore...

My dad flew a 727 for a Saudi Sheikh years ago. They were in the US and got a call to take the prince's daughter from Saudi to England for a dentist appointment. Empty 727 - US to Saudi, round trip to England with a few passengers, then empty back to the US.

I did it a lot in jets when it was raining. Had to be careful because most hangars have floors that are slippery when wet. FBO's do not seem to let you do it anymore.

It did get darker and cooler in Kerrville, Texas. I was too busy working at my parents' house to enjoy it. I did like the cooler temps.

I have hit several in 10,000 hours. Had 2 go through jet engines with no damage. The only one that I did not know that I had hit was in a KA200 at night. it caved in the leading edge of the right wing. Found the damage after we landed, it was night.

Don't feel bad. I do not really remember my first solo, in 1978, in a C140. I do remember the first time I flew a nose wheel airplane, 1979 or 80. It was in Hawaii, C150, with a close family friend that was also an instructor, he was quite a character. He flew the Hump in WWII and was a pilot...

When I did my primary training in 79-80 it was not required. My dad did his in the early 50's and said it was required then.

After seeing what BC covered for my parent's medical bills, in addition to Medicare, I think it is worth it. I was not involved in paying the bills when my dad was alive but for mom it is $366mo for Plan F. Dad died of multiple myeloma and mom has been in the hospital several times but there...

I am not the op but have been scanning in some old slides of my parents. They were taken on a South America trip on Braniff probably 1955 or 56. My Dad worked for Braniff as a mechanic in the mid 50's. I believe he started as a pilot for Continental in 56. Looks like the first two were taken at...

I agree. One school I go to talks about students not being able to do an instrument approach without the autopilot. Then they want them to do a steep spiral in IMC for an emergency decent. It sounds like a bad idea to me. I think they should teach a descending 90 degree turn then continue to go...
