    Laser Holiday Lights?

    Great timing. I almost bought two from Monoprice. http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=612425 I'm glad that my "Pre Black Friday 11% off of everything" discount amounted to 80 cents off a $107 order, so I walked. I suspected that those would be disappointing. I think I'll spring for...

    Bank 'Fraud Detection' and Flying

    And then Target doesn't understand that Target replaced Target credit cards so the Target credit card number given weeks ago to by the Target customer on a Target order for a very much in demand item being exclusively sold at Target for a very limited time isn't now authorized by Target credit...

    Bank 'Fraud Detection' and Flying

    How scary is it that you know that otherwise the BIG DATA in the sky knows that you bought an airline ticket and to where? I've had the credit card be declined when I suddenly went to buy gas on the road after a XC.

    NA Electricity contracts

    I have Real Time hourly pricing. Good: I pay an rip-off average that's much less than the rip-off fixed rate, currently at 0.12 KwH. Youse guy in Texas getting juice from the nuke plants we paid for are welcome. Fun: There are hours where you actually get paid to use electricity. BAD: For...

    Negative ANN article about Cirrus

    And knowing how while Cirrus was supposedly advertising on ANN they were teh angles absolutely everywhere, including sponsoring the Oshkosh coverage. I imagine that Alan Klapmeier finally made whatever deal to get him out of his hair.

    Who's got your logs?

    Pulse lights and when to use them

    I use my incandescent in-wing lights below 4000 AGL, especially landings, takeoffs and taxiing to the runway. At night the wings lights stay on steady. My problem is I get skittish because having all the lights on can blow the main breaker, and my master isn't split so I have to power cycle...

    Captain dies. PBOR threatened?

    Compare health impairment incidents for pilots with 1st Class Medicals to those with 3rd Class Medicals to those with Sport Pilot DL Medicals. And then they will ignore the facts.

    Captain dies. PBOR threatened?

    Yeah. The reply with logic that will never be heard would be that this Captain passed his tougher 1st Class medical, so what good did that do, but jerking knees have no problem coming up with fixes that wouldn't fix the problem being aimed at. Item: The 9/11 attackers were known to the feds...

    Captain dies. PBOR threatened?

    Am I the only one to think that every time we think we're on the step to get Medical relief, some incident happens to ka-bosh it? I read that Senator Inhofe is dealing with opposition to the PBOR from Senators listening to the Airline Pilots Association claiming safety issues (and WHY?)...
