    Commercial long cross abort

    I'm not a military person (thanks for your service, by the way) but it seems to me like your mission is to get your commercial rating. Definitely stick with that one. You probably got more training benefit out of this flight than lots of others you've done. Unfortunately, you get to go fly...

    Taking my son’s best friend flying

    I think the best part of this whole story is your son's friend coming by. Probably hard and nice at the same time.

    Insurance Q: Removing 2 seats from 6 seater lower cost?

    Was this just for taking the seats out or for flying under Basic Med? I think the latter has been more problematic because there is some language about "originally certified for 6 seats or less" or something along those lines. Apparently, just removing the 7th seat doesn't cut it.

    3658 NM Western Cross Country Help

    We flew in on our way to Oshkosh this year. Piece of cake - rental car at the FBO. No reservations for Yellowstone -- waited maybe 5 minutes at the gate before getting in (Thursday afternoon).

    3658 NM Western Cross Country Help

    For leg 5, there is not much to see from KVIS to KCCR. You might consider heading to the coast and then up the coast, hang a right at the Golden Gate Bridge, cross Alcatraz and direct KAPC.

    Plane into building

    Some might consider that a whole lot more valuable than a pile of cash.

    Hello and PPL Trainnig in Central California

    To your original question - you can certainly do it that way (i.e. written first then training). However, for the PPL, I thought it was useful to be doing both the flight training and the ground at the same time. Both helped fill in gaps in the other. For later ratings, I think this makes...

    TBM700 down, Urbana, OH

    I listened to him call departure on the liveatc archives and pick up his IFR clearance. He then got switched over to 135.1 and I couldn’t find that one online.

    TBM700 down, Urbana, OH

    The flight before this one is interesting. Post maintenance?

    Raptor NG

    I watched the video and wondered if he had reservations/deposits on the first version. Are those “buyers” cool with a different design? (I suppose you could argue that what they will likely get is unchanged)

    Fabric Coving System?

    I believe the “linen” treatment is a fairly recent addition - it looks great if you’re going for the antique look.

    O69 Petaluma CA - PIREPS?

    Petaluma is a great airport - but I’m biased! ;) Good services, a number of RV guys on the field. Can get a little busy but nothing approaching the Watsonville-type traffic. There are ultralights and micro lights that fly a tight pattern. Feel free to PM with any questions.

    MP and Scrappy landing at Osh now

    I don’t think the videos are that far behind - unless they were really trying to hide it. On a recent video, Ron pans down to his phone (I think to show what time it is) you can see the date and it’s only a day or two before when the video was posted. signed, Dork
