    [NA]Password managers

    Thanks for your input. I really don't only use accounts unless connected to my laptop. I guess I could print the excel sheet, store the file on a thumb drive and update as needed. Considering PW manager. Thanks again

    Lost Engine- when to pitch for Airspeed

    Personally for me on TO I would lower the nose if climbing. If in cruse I would let speed bleed off and trim for best glide as I look for a sport to put it down and troubleshoot.

    Beech C23 Sundowner 4-1-1

    I can normally get 100 kts out of the sport. With the extra 30 hp in the Sundowner you get a pretty good climb I bet.

    Question, can I travel from AK thru Canada with Basic Med?

    Well I have started to estimate what my trip will cost. 6 months traveling around the lower 48. I figure 1/2 the time staying with friends, 1/4 of the time in a rented RV and 1/4 the time in motels....:rolleyes:

    Question, can I travel from AK thru Canada with Basic Med?

    Well I guess my solution is to have a copilot with a 3rd class medical. Have them fly with me to Seattle, fly the wife down commercial and send copilot home commercial. That is my best option, I may even sell the plane as I travel for 6 months in the lower 48

    Career Dilemma

    Just my 2 cents, if you are going to make a carrier out of the Navy fine do that and retire. You will make more flying for an airline IMHO, and also fly more.

    Pry bar found under engine cowling when I removed it.

    I pick up my tools and put them away several times during the day. To many mechanics have a pile of tools out and wait till the end of the day to put them away. That drives me crazy
