Sounds like a good plan - you won't get flak about buying pilot gear and toys, just be ready to share them :D

All interesting comments. Looks like I’m a little late to the conversation, but better late than never .... I think putting down that ‘crap’ about slavery would be a wonderful idea – unfortunately, it takes two to tango, and the other party doesn’t seem to be willing to dance just...

Having just heard this, it does sound like the tower controller just didn't want to have to deal with the SWA pilot. The "Yes we do, contact ground" sounded dismissive to me; had he said, "Yes we do, contact ground for that number", at least the pilot would know that the request was...

leaving green bay, eta approx 7:30 eastern time. Grant brought beer for the group; can someone assist with obtaining ice?

Kaye - I'm so sorry on your loss. After we said goodbye to Pleighdaux a few years back, I remember the house felt a little too quiet and a little too big for the three of us for a while, but the healing does come with time. Enjoy the happy memories, and you'll always have the love.... Leslie

Well, where are we meeting?

Where were you thinking for dinner? Seaplane fish fry? Robbins? Something else?

The top five, in random order: - KOSC, Oscoda, Michigan - one of the first long cross-countries after getting my private certificate, took Grant and one of my sisters up to land at the last Air Force Base we were stationed at. One of the few 11,800 x 200 ft runways with pilot controlled...

:popcorn: (Raisinets work too)

Some rough stories above, but it doesn't have to be a big deal. All four of mine were rotated 90 degrees and headed for trouble (all my sisters had the same problem), so we had them all out at the same time, even though only one had started to erupt. In the oral surgeon's office, was in the...

I've got to go out of town for business tomorrow (sitting in the steel tube; crud), so I'm trying to finish up some of my day-work and homework today before that. Looking forward to the reschedule!

A very interesting thread. Well, let's see... If 'innate' is defined as "existing in one from birth; inborn; native", then as a female whose major fields of study in college and grad school were all around 'mathy stuff' (statistics, finance and accounting), and who works in and teaches...

Curious; why this opinion?

Will county closed the roads too. Mighty impressive drifts around the house, can't see any of the lawn lights in the front yard, they stand about 15" high at their tallest point. Grant's out snowblowing the driveway now; the snow looks about knee-high there now, but that's after he took the...

Great - thanks Ed, for making me feel bad about being conservative.

Mornin', all. We made the decision to go the steel tube - the weather was on the edge for me last night, and this morning I saw more than a few 'reindeer games' being played out with: - Inconsistent TAFs: I can have this TAF CHICAGO O'HARE , IL KORD 301133Z 3012/3118 17012KT 3SM -DZ...

Grant and I are planning a trip from Chicago to Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow, launching at 8 am. TAF for ORD is reading as follows: KORD 300123Z 3001/3106 17012KT 3SM BR OVC005 TEMPO 3001/3003 1SM -DZ BR OVC002 FM300300 17012KT 1SM -RA BR OVC002 WS017/21040KT TEMPO 3003/3005...

Mains are from a candy necklace - the individual 'gems' are just the right size. Smarties candies would probably work too. These planes aren't edible, since I had to resort to using a glue gun to put the wheels on (out of time to make the usual 'hard as rock' frosting), but making more isn't...

A debut at my sister's recent cookie exchange.... where the cookies are good, but it's all about the display..... Introducing Cookie Regional Airport (COKI); I had fun building this, and Grant did an excellent job on the hold short lines :D

Interesting study and findings, although it does seem to me that many of the reasons for not completing flight training that are listed here are gender-neutral: money, equipment, mentors, interest, passion are all necessary. I would hope that comfort with an instructor would be a prime...
