    Colorblind and wants to fly

    It wouldn't matter. As long as they can distinguish the difference between the frequency band called red and the frequency band called green. For all you know, you and I both see "red" differently - you might see the same light I see as blue and I might see it as yellow. Its irrelevant...

    DC vacation ideas?

    Another stop I consider a must-see, albeit a depressing one, is the Holocaust Museum.

    Kimberly, I clearly remember that the exclusions in my case extended only to acting as an "operator" of an aircraft - not a passenger. But you should consult with your agent to be 100% certain.

    Is this normal, or kind of a jerk move?

    That's as may be, but the student still logged flights under the first CFI's endorsement that were completely valid and approved by that CFI. The CFI by *voiding* his endorsement just arbitrarily changed the status of those already executed flights from "right and proper" to "illegal".

    I think it's not a case of 'death is beyond me' but a superstitious belief that 'if I buy life insurance it'll increase the odds of me dying sooner'.

    Betting that you're going to die is like betting that an airplane will return to the ground. It will. Its just a matter of when.

    Great to see you again Bill! :D At the moment I'm entertaining a notion but if it becomes more serious, I will definitely do this. Already covered - we have rental properties so we have a $1M liability umbrella. That's very generous of you! I'd love to! I wonder if I can dig up my old...

    Well, IMO the objective of a term policy is to replace lost income in the event you die BEFORE you accumulate enough wealth on which to retire. My baseline coverage level is 10x one's annual income. With my primary policy and work policy I'm somewhere closer to 13x now, but it's the $1M policy...

    Ditto that. You say your current CFI witnessed the logbook vandalism by the old CFI? I also think you go to the FDSO to get guidance. The logbook is YOUR primary concern. The CFI who vandalized it is the FDSOs.

    Hey, if you have the money in the bank to ensure that Mrs. Steingar is provided for in the event of your inevitable demise, more power to you. But anyone who, upon their death, would leave their family in a financial ruin because of the loss of income who doesn't protect against that is, in...

    Life Insurance for Pilots that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

    I will definitely look into them then. Though I don't do return of premium either. Your $400k policy costs more than 2x what I pay for a $1M term policy, and I got it at 39 weighing just under 300 lbs. IMO - Whole life/return of premium etc are just ripoffs. Life insurance and...
