I'm not. I'm talking about people that understand how to use analogue resources and those that don't. I don't say any of this because I think modern tools are the devil but I do think that many people only know how to follow a line on a GPS.

Ummmm..... according to the comments this was a wonderful thing.

I started in a 152 and couldn't handle stalls. No matter what I did, a wing dropped and I was scared. I moved on to a 172 because my instructor wanted me to be successful. Later on I moved to a Cherokee before going back to a 172 to complete my PPL. I didn't make the later transitions because I...

This! I'm no professional but I firmly believe that learning in a plane that teaches you the "feel" of flying will pay dividends. Technology and electronic gizmos WILL fail. Learning with the lowest form of automation possible will help you WHEN (not if) the automation fails. *skip the rest...

I might be a little desensitized when it comes to handing out my SSN since it has been spray painted on nearly everything I've owned for decades.. Having said that, the nonprofit I work with doesn't ask for that info but also doesn't allow minors to fly unaccompanied.

I work from home, am retired Army, and have a flexible schedule with my job. Something like this would be a perfect fit for someone that wants to fly and has something else going for them. If you don't want it...

I was a passenger on it a couple of times back in 08. One trip was from Ramadi to Baghdad and another was to Mosul and back. What a ride! It was similar to a CH-47 in feel during takeoff but obviously a fixed wing in flight. The landings were sporty with a low pass down the runway with a...

Because some positions require it for their wages. A waitress or bartender that does a good job will earn a better living than one that does the minimum. I have lived in a few different countries and the level of "service" provided by restaurant staff in places that don't expect tips is...

I love going to Astoria and dragging my kids to all of the film locations. We go a couple time a year and drive to the house every time.

lol.... KONP is where I'm headed tomorrow. The wife is sending my youngest with a friend and I hope to meet them at the aquarium. If I can't, he gets a trip and my wife gets to work without distraction. Win, win all around.

Reading this entire thread I feel the need to say this.... I hated smoking and smokers as a kid. My aunt would feel creeped out when she rode in the backseat with me and cracked the window to blow smoke out. I did my best to make her feel uncomfortable. She died of emphysema almost 30 years...

I vote for an NSA cell tower with a bad paint job....

That makes it sound like every flight after that would be simple..

heaven forbid!!! fly more? Say it aint so! lol..

It was allowed back then but it was relatively new and often misunderstood.

That is exactly what I am trying to do. My experience escorting people tells me that I shouldn't care about anything but keeping them safe regardless of their opinion of my decisions. I think that would apply to any flying job I could have. I guess I'm just trying to figure out what is expected...

I get that and will be doing a logbook audit this weekend to make sure everything else is accounted for. If I remember correctly, my old CFI was trying to log things to the specific FAR but I need to check. Thanks for mentioning that as I would hate for it to come up when the DPE is looking...

That's exactly how I feel about it but it is nice to have it backed up. I wasn't worried about the IFR work because I was simply using the brush up on my CPL training to get back into flying. Not to mention that is has been severe clear all summer. Too bad work and MX delayed things allowing the...

This is exactly why I asked for feedback. I'm trying to remove the "mission" mindset that I've had for over 20 years. I'm retired and don't really need it anymore, not to that level at least. What I was pondering was that maybe I was going too far the other direction and not trying to find a way...
