    What Other Careers

    Oh, and continuing to get better at the Irish whistle with lessons and hopefully some playing at public venues. Learning how to work sound equipment would be great too. I love music; it's one of my life joys. (In addition to flying :D)

    What Other Careers

    Software developer. I make computers do things and have for 44 years. Always something new to learn. Planning on retiring this year (maybe part time work to get past coming recession) and flying, visiting Ireland, visiting family (Wisconsin, Florida, California, etc.), flying more, seeing more...

    Private Pilot Fear of Solo Flying

    Usually, if there were three things that were screwy/going wrong I would cancel. For example, wind was a little iffy, or a non-required instrument was inop, or I felt slightly under the weather, I was upset about something (See IMSAFE checklist), etc. Certainly I have my go/no-go checklist and...

    Washington DC plane rental?

    He's got a point about the drive to Stevensville...once the weather gets nice (which it has), Rt 50 is a nightmare, with the Bay Bridge a major bottleneck. Early Saturday/Sunday mornings (before 9) is doable, but forget the rest of the day until about 4-5 in the afternoon. Saturday afternoon...
