You will never get rid of that smell. Burn it down

Nice paint job too!

That was frightening.

Rail becomes popular due to decreased boarding time and security hassle. Terrorist attacks or attempts to attack a rail station. TSA now at rail stations. Back to square one

Thanks for all the replies. Right now looks like Sky Sailing might be a winner, considering my schedule. I have heard good things about Bermuda High, but as I mentioned earlier I am interested in making something of a vacation out of it.

This might work, thanks for the suggestion. I will be in San Diego in late March for work anyway!

That does sound cool! But you are right, that is a bit too far west.

Thanks. Na it does not necessarily have to be out west. However all things being equal I would prefer to go somewhere new, maybe with some cool terrain or views. FL is rather flat.

I have zero glider experience. Any recommendations for soaring schools that would be able to do an accelerated course, somewhere with a warm and dry climate?

At RDU, a reasonably busy class C, I used to pay $75/month to Tac Air for a tiedown (2013?)

Honestly this does sound like a scam. $1200 is a big fat bill for 2 weeks of hangaring a single engine piston at a sattelite airport where a hangar rents for $200-350 per month. They should have been really clear with the OP about the cost, and give him a break if they were not. Most sensible...

I understand the "back of the power curve" in this case really means you are flying somewhere at 1.2 Vso (power on), which is lower than book 1.2 Vso, because book Vso is done with no power. (does that make sense?) I don't use this technique, the shortest runway I routinely use is 2300'. What...

I don't think you'll hurt anything by doing that, assuming that operation at 2700 is not time limited for some reason. However, even with the latest and greatest lightspeed or bose products, I would not like to run around at 2700 RPM for any extended length of time. Depending on the airplane, I...

Bet you were glad to finally kick me out of your cockpit!

Need to make those strafing runs steeper

Most folks don’t get out much...

Was that Keith Wilson?

I used this approach, I highly recommend it. I used the free FAA stuff plus the ASA oral guides to study for the practical test(s). Sheppard air for the knowledge tests.

I am forced by my corporate overlords to get a flu shot every year. I used to skip the flu shot, no tin foil hat stuff, just didn't bother. Now that I travel (airlines) a lot, I think its best that I do continue to get one every year. I have not experienced any side effects and I don't find the...

As far as I know, the FAA recommended pattern entries are: 45 at pattern altitude to downwind (preferred) mid-field crosswind to downwind at pattern altitude (alternate) mid-field crosswind at pattern altitude +500, descending teardrop to 45 entry to downwind (alternate) These are...
