I live in western Colorado. Wendy's is paying $19/hr with a sign on bonus. Grocery store is paying $20. I was paying subcontract framers $50.

I flew with an instructor just long enough to get signed off for the checkride, 3 hours.

I got a little attitude from tower recently. I was waiting for a break in the radio calls, while nearing the delta, for some reason they were doing clearance delivery on tower frequency. I made my call, but the next thing I heard from tower was to an aircraft on the ground, with attitude “say...

I was over 800 hours, instrumental rated, seaplane rated with under 10 hours, commercial, 600 hours tailwheel, and 25 hours in a husky. That same husky on amphibs was very nearly a no go for insurance. It took the owner quite a bit of effort to get the insurance to cover me. I have no idea what...

I drive a 96 Toyota 4Runner, same as a tacoma essentially. 310k miles on it. I put the last 70k on it. I replaced one coil pack that had a corroded spark plug connection, one radiator hose, and one heater hose. Thats it! I’ve always been a ford guy, but I wouldn’t take a 90’s vintage ford if it...

I fly a fair amount. I don’t have time to roll around on the floor cleaning. I did get bored last week, polished the spinner, cleaned the belly, cleaned the tail wheel, cleaned the windshield.

My friend discouraged filing a complaint. He said that I would be put in their “list”. I was aware for quite some time, that I in fact was on their list. I got pulled over because I had a moose head in my truck, by the same guy that had pulled me over a few weeks earlier. Division of wildlife...

Just because he didn’t have a certificate, does NOT mean he didn’t know how to fly. Just says he didn’t play by the rules.

I don’t have a saf-t-stop either. What does that have to do with anything?

It was rodeo night. I hadn’t been to the rodeo, but was driving down the highway. Cop pulls out behind me, follows for a few miles, shuts all his lights off for several seconds and then back on. I was driving in my lane, under speed limit. His wig wags come on and I pull over. Cop stated that my...

Thanks, I was planning on doing their ag training and my multi engine there!

I’ve always wanted to fly helicopters! I’m moving to South Dakota for a flying job. I’ve also got an opportunity to buy a good, well maintained r22 with 1000 hrs remaining, from a friend. I just need an instructor for this to make sense. Anyone know of an instructor in eastern South Dakota area?

Down also shouldn’t be left tightly packed.

I was heavily criticized and was told I wasn’t a “good” back country pilot because I didn’t want to listen to Gryders theory on the otter crash in Washington. Well, turns out Gryder was wrong, again. Too many people watch these YouTube guys, and worship their every word.

Out in the backcountry I use a northern companion. At the hangar I have an oil pan heater. With a blanket the engine will be 85 degrees with the pan heater. what weight oil do you run? Lighter weight oil or multi-vis might help with cranking.

How is it in Europe for flying GA? Can you build a plane, fly it around like here? Specifically wondering about Spain.

I’ll be flying to KTEX, back on Friday. It’s only an hour flight at low power.

Insurance for my 180 simply required instructor sign off. Instructor said he never helped me on any landings. that was almost 600 tail wheel hours ago.

I got mine in about 2 hours, in a pacer. But, we did like 65 landings in that time. he did say I was his best student ever.

I was taxiing to the fuel pump a few weeks ago, when about 200 yards out I can see something just barely in the grass. It’s a narrow taxi way, probably 12’. The nose on the 180 prohibits seeing anything to the right side within about 75 yards. No problem, I saw it, just make sure not to crowd...
