    Why do so many threads seem to turn into ****ing matches?

    Not just pilots. You should see some of the hunting forums I visit. Makes POA seem tame.

    Alternating one wheel landings

    Enjoyed. I'll have to try myself. Couldn't help but chuckle when your dog ran by ignoring you. Glad to see I'm not the only one being ignored.

    Did his Garmin 530 quit?

    I can only imagine what a 90yr old would say when questioned by authority. I can only hope I am able to sit one down, when needed, at 90. Hope it works out for him.

    PM his name to me and I can have his Naval career verified.

    Derelict Airplanes

    I recently purchased a C150 that had sat up since 2006 and flown very little since 1996. A prebuy, ferry permit, and extensive annual, my daughter and I are currently working on our PPL in it. Hopefully another success story for a little plane being resurrected. It had spent a majority of...

    Buy Your Last Plane First

    I have just purchased a C150L after going through some of the same thought process. The C150 fit the bill for myself and daughter to get our PPL in and build some time. After that I plan to sell the 150 and put that money down on a "go somewhere" plane. $100k will never be in my budget but a...

    American Sniper

    Reality of it from a movie perspective is it is geared towards general public and story telling entertainment. Anyone that has true life, direct contact with war will have different views because of experience. No different from a Naval Aviator Instructor or student watching the Top Gun movie...

    What is this for (hangar door base)

    Structural support as stated. High winds can do a number on large doors once they start flexing with gusts.

    How far do you drive to fly?

    15 minutes for me. Couldn't help but notice, no lawn mower needed. Weird to this SC guy. ;). More time to fly with no grass to cut!

    Sometimes I wish I never tasted flight

    Yep, always wanted to fly since first childhood memories. Unsupporting parents on the flying bug issue kept me from starting young. Now at 41years of age I successfully purchased my first aircraft that I "technically" can't afford. My 14 year old daughter grew up hearing me talk the talk and...

    P-lead wire and start issues

    What inspired you to get into flying?

    Always wanted to fly since first memories from childhood. Had unsupportive parents on the issue growing up so never per sued. Now at 41 years of age I purchased a 1972 C150. My 14 year old daughter said she wanted to learn to fly so that's all it took. Told myself I would not deny her a dream if...
