What never gets factored into the statistical models is what type of risk manager you are. I know motorcycle riders that ride safely and responsibly, always wear a helmet, obey all traffic laws. I also know motorcycle riders that go helmetless, weave in and out of traffic and lane changes...

Is there availability of ice to restock the cooler?

Flying in to Sun 'n Fun and camping with the plane for the first time. What's one thing (other than obvious like tent, sleeping bag) that I should definitely bring that I might otherwise not think of or forget?

Coming on Wed. Staying until Sat or Sun.

Very cool. I'm sure the approach covered it, but it was freaky descending into the clouds while pointed directly at that looming mountain filling the windscreen just before entering the clouds.

I'll bet Lancaster is happy that Atchison refused to dump the body.

I'm at 32GA. No approach procedures, but 3 airports with procedures all within 15 miles.

I'll echo much of what's already been said. We've lived in a fly-in neighborhood for 4 years and I love it. There are 16 residential lots and currently only three are occupied (and one of those doesn't fly any more), so airport operations are minimal. It's also a grass strip and unlighted so...

So I get sarcasm and so forth. But internet forum messaging doesn't do a good job of always conveying that. And I do know somebody who does get freaked out about parked trucks like that. I probably should have done a better job of looking at the totality of SkyDog58's posts before referencing...

In the war on terror, some of the stuff in this thread is indication the terrorists are gaining, at least in some quarters. The goal of terrorism isn't to kill as many innocent people as possible. The goal is to kill some in order to plant the seed of paranoia that anyone could be next and...

One of the driving forces of any kind of terrorism is that even ordinary activities are seen as a threat and people react in a panicked way as a result. We are seeing that played out now.

Mine's a somewhat unique situation. I live on a grass airstrip community with a hangar in the backyard, but no owned airplane. A nearby neighbor, not on the airstrip, has a Beech Musketeer that he bought but has no hangar to store it in. I let him keep it in my hangar, and he lets me fly it...

So wait - are you saying there aren't hypocrites in Arizona?

For those interested, there is an online contestant test being held next week. You can register at their website.

25 yards. Living the dream.

Wish I could join y'all. My daughter and her family live in Greer, so I fly in and out of GMU regularly. I'd love to come in and meet some of you. Unfortunately, that is the weekend we are having both our daughters and their families at our house at the lake for family Christmas celebration...

What does the metal landing calculator say to do?

No steak sauce on cottage cheese, but I have been known to eat spaghetti with ketchup in place of spaghetti sauce.

It only counts if you have a metal E6B and an AOA indicator.
