    EPA targets lead in avgas

    You know your 8-tracks! I try not to play mine very much these days but I have a portable player with detachable speakers and one installed in my Dad's old 73 pickup. It was the only upgrade he ever made to the truck and I remember him being so proud of it. My brother had a player in his 67...

    EPA targets lead in avgas

    You would need to remember some of the 70s and most of the 80s...... She was even on the Muppet Show and Creep Show. Too young for those?

    Current loan rates

    I took from my TSP because I had to. The market tanked and I would have lost my shirt but because it was locked up in my personal loan I was ok. You bet that I did everything possible to pay it off during the downturn and yes, my account rocketed when things recovered. I wouldn't try playing the...

    EPA targets lead in avgas

    Debbie Harry from Blondie nailed it... Live fast, die young, and stay pretty. Live fast, cause it won't last!

    Picky passenger

    I'm a Regional Manager on a government service contract and Ed is 100% correct. Small changes that seem reasonable can actually make it so the employee can never meet the contract fully. You do the best you can... The customer usually understands when the evidence is presented in a reasonable way.

    Airlines making rentals virtually free for pilot training?

    We can talk about things that were rough all day long. I know that I was awake in a tank gunners seat for 36 hours with no break. Peed into a Gatorade bottle, smoked cigarettes while scanning for enemy targets even while refueling, pooped in a box with a plastic bag liner because it may have...

    Airlines making rentals virtually free for pilot training?

    While I would be interested in something like this I wonder what the quality of these hours would be. The article said that pilots could fly up to 40 hours a week so someone like me would have a blast. That is if they would allow for some really long flights. I fear that the candidate will have...

    PIREP on the PortaPilot?

    This is just up the highway from me. I wonder if I can get a tour or meet some folks because it sounds like a cool concept. I'd love to know more and see it in action myself. Would any of you be interested in listening to an interview or seeing it filmed on a test flight? No, I'm not selling a...

    Helena, MT in early September

    I have an office in Helena and suggest looking at some of the museums and historic areas. If you can, I suggest going to Glacier National Park in the NW corner of the state. Great views! My uncle lived in Columbia Falls for decades and it was a must do when visiting. You can land at the...

    I bought an airplane. It was a lifelong dream. 6 months later, I'm out. (Reddit post)

    STOP SHOWING HOW AWESOME WASHINGTON CAN BE!!!! What you aren't showing is the 23 hours of thunder and lightning with the heavy hail storms that made you hide in the tsunami shelters....

    Seattle Washington airplane rental recommendations?

    I grew up in Kent and I'm shocked at how much the place has changed. No longer the quiet little town where you could hunt within walking distance of my home on the east hill... I have nothing to add except that I know people at both Spanaflight and Rainier Flight Service and you can't go wrong...

    Comanche parts availability

    I don't know that and I have flown both. The Mooney appears smaller but are you saying the Comanche is the same or smaller again?

    Comanche parts availability

    This is very timely for me. I'm looking at the same type of aircraft and would love to know if parts or knowledgeable shops will be an issue.

    Flying the Osprey

    As a 20 + year Tank Commander that trained at the end of the Cold War I can add this..... They forgot how to use their tanks and if this is how they were going to invade Western Europe.... I may have actually killed 10 tanks or lived for 2 weeks like they told us. There is no attempt at combined...

    GoPro Shutting Down

    I still use an old NFlight camera that has never failed me. The audio isn't the best so I use an external recorder. The camera was made by Contour and packaged with the appropriate filter and audio cable by NFlight about 10 years ago. Thinking about adding one of the GoPro knock offs because...

    The End of N222TF

    I graduated from a mountain warfare school at a place called pickle meadows early in my career. It was almost 30 years ago so I'm asking because I can't remember exactly. Static rope was used for securing loads either to the ground or to a climbers body. Dynamic rope was used for climbing and...
