it came as part of the meal. Definitely not my normal choice but it was a fun thing to do at McD.

exactly. I am rated but not current.

Please explain... I don't understand your comments... I am instrument rated but not current as I stated.

yes, haven't been current or proficient in years.

Those machines never work!

I did that once and discovered that the young lady next to me was a student pilot. Not only that, she had been at the same Mexican resort as I had and knew my kids names. We were also from the same town.... My wife was seated in the row ahead of us and reenacted a particular scene from Exorcist...

I'm not old but some of you must be kids... I remember the bean bag ashtrays well and nearly everyone smoked when I was a kid. I did but don't now and I won't judge someone that does..... Cleaning out my parents house of 60 years and I found my elementary school art project.... an ash tray...

Ok, I'm looking for some sort of evaluation.... I have 270+ hours and was comm check ride ready before the plane broke and life happened. Fast forward 5 years and I'm back in the air as of April. Since then I've had a flight review (WA), a checkout in a different state (FL), flew my family...

This is the place. https://skyblueja.com/ I don't know how long they have been around because I was just visiting family. They were falling all over me to make me happy and were so friendly even though I just wanted a checkout and a couple hour rental. It is a small operation but they are also...

I had a good experience with SkyBlue Flight Academy when I got checked out for a rental. They are up in Stuart so that's about 45 minutes away but they were cool to work with.

Got back into flying after 5 years away. Flew my family around Florida (I'm in the Pacific Northwest) Commercial still a question mark for the year but only because of a long vacation and weather. CFI says I'm pretty much ready. Wanted my multi as well but this one may need to wait. Maybe...

Going to Mexico in a few weeks just like we do every other year. I travel for work (13 states), and have taken the family to Disney 2 times since this all began. Just be smart about what you do. Understand the risk, apply mitigation techniques, and live life.

Not AV related but I thought I'd share... While running VIP transport missions around Iraq in 2008, I picked up a Battalion Commander and his Operations Officer from Balad and transported them to Ramadi before going to Baghdad. The Commander wanted to know where his headset was so he could...

hahahahahahahahahaha!!!! After a lifetime of military service in a combat role and multiple combat tours... Outside of a handful of items, anything marked Mil-Spec gets extra attention.

I might be dating myself and alienating myself from some but does anyone remember driving a car with points? A condeser (yes autocorrect didn't have it in the dictionary) that is failing on a points based ignition system will give feedback. Grounding straps that are broken or corroded will do...

I thought this was going to be the place but when I tried to schedule a checkout on Sunday, they said not open. It sounds like they don't do after hours rentals either and since I'm working until 1630, I need a different place. I'll remember them if I ever vacation down that way though. Thoughts?

They don't appear to rent.

Sweet, thanks for that. I hadn't seen their site before but it looks like they are just down the road from where I'll be and their prices are great.

I'm going to be at a conference and was thinking about getting a checkout and doing some sightseeing but am having issues picking a place. I will be relying on UBER or a Taxi to get from the hotel to the airport and back so distance is a factor but not a deal breaker. I'll be based right in the...

Sounds like a VF-17 panel. We used those so the USAF wouldn't put a Hellfire up the exhaust of my M1 Abrams. ;)
