I literally saw a Rivian/Amazon electric delivery van on my walk around town on Monday. They're starting.

Or own more than one car? Most of the families in my upper middle class town have one electric car with a ~300 mile range and the other spouse has a 5-7 seat gas SUV. They drive both everyday and then on a trip have the option to choose which car based on what they're taking, road conditions...

On commercial flights, we check as much as we can, and put our small items under the seats, using no overhead space at all. leaving, we stand up and briskly walk off the plane, after waiting for 9 hours for a bunch of sociopaths to jam/unjam everything in the overhead bins and nothing under...

If I were flying for a living, I would ping one of the two good doctors listed TODAY and be ready to pull in your union rep AFTER talking to the doctor and forming a plan. You're a professional pilot, you're used to careful planning, that's what this requires. Get good people on board (the...

I like SWA cancellation policies (you can cancel pretty short notice and keep the money for another flight). It's a good backup to GA plans, though you have to manage the funds, it's not that hard. Traveling with family, I've paid to have one adult get into A15 boarding to go get us some seats...

The travelair I'm training in leans out to about 16 GPH total at 165 kts. I think you can get it configured for 6 seats, though we don't for training. Two IO-320 engines which are pretty darn reliable with parts everywhere. They are frequently available under 100K. I was looking at a bigger...

I'm not the poster you responded to, but I enjoy aviation videos on occasion, but have many more hours in a day I can read something in the background but not watch a video. The titles and content are good topics, but often we see all of the content in the video, which means anyone who wants to...

we lose power a lot, so I set mine high ahead of the storm to get heat into the mass of the house in case we lose power for a few days. at least we're starting from warm walls/furniture/etc.

</sarc> let me ask the guys up the road in Woodland, I heard the last lawsuit finally settled </sarc> No one needs a slow plane with decent useful load...

I like to see how far away the 11,000' long military runway is. I can deal with paperwork and dudes with Berretas if that gets my family home safely.

I like your thinking Jim. I just had to delay a purchase, not to seek a better deal, but due to some other investments we have to make right now. I'm hoping luck will cut my way and I'll find a good deal this summer when I'm buying.

Just to update everyone, I had to pause training and cancel my purchase due to some other things that need to get done in the next 6 months. I anticipate finishing my multi in January and then starting to peck away at IR in the club 172s. I will come back to this thread prior to checkride...

Thanks Denver. I am planning for 2-3 more lessons and then I suspect I'll be ready for my ride. The more multi time, the better my insurance terms will be the first year, so it's OK if it's another 6-7 hours to get the level of proficiency I want for the checkride, then I'll plan another 25 or...

Y’all might try to talk me out of it. Also considering forming a partnership on it. Talking to prospective partner today… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am making a decision on a plane this week, so need to get this sorted...

HI, I got 5.5 hours of flight and 5 hours of ground in, and then ended up with a weeklong flu bug and "life" and so I'm getting back to it in December or January.

Was he short on funds for drugs?

I'll be with a lot of the others. I hate the nags of a full "alarm system" but like to know what's happening (even when we're home), so I've covered the place with ring cameras that also have lights. It lets me see what's goign on when I'm here, when I'm home and asleep, and when I'm away...

I always liked Claymores having that wording stamped on it. :)
