You get banged for a buck? Wow - you are thrifty.

I think a lot depends on who the other party is and their financial resources. Lots of people claim they will pay to fix the damage they cause. However, the repair may not be to your standards of quality and safety because he got his cousin Winne to do the work. Or he picked a low priced shop...

I find the older I get, the less accommodating I become. Consequently, shares in an LLC or in a partnership (which if you are using the legal term “partnership” would be a bad legal move compared to an LLC - yes there are plenty of threads on this topic that point out the pros and cons of each...

Great job! We often think it’s an easy exam - truth is, it only becomes easy when we pass.

Like anything else, the answer to your question depends. It depends on how long ago the damage occurred. It depends on how well the repairs were completed. It depends on whether all of the damage was found and corrected. I bought an airplane that had been damaged. The prior owner hit a tree on...

Parks in the West(and I assume elsewhere) are way over-crowded. As are campgrounds located near the parks, hotels, etc. It is just crazy. We start making a list in August of places to go for the following year, and then book ASAP. Being semi-retired we have a lot of flexibility but it is still...

My wife and I fly from KCOE to S21 at least once a year. Nice country.

I’ve reported several wildfires to ATC and orbited over 2 of them at ATC’s request, I assume so they could get a good fix on my position. I fly over some remote areas of Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Montana on a regular basis and I would guess some of those fires could be unreported for a...

My IA works with a few guys who work with composites for a living and do some work on the side. So when I had a new STC’d intake installed in my lower cowl and some new exit ramps put in as an owner produced part that required a lot of glass work - both carbon fiber and fiberglass - he...

Bravo - she is truly an American Hero. Never gave up the dream.

Given how dry things are in the West in general and the drought conditions in SoCal, why is anyone even considering fireworks? Trying to burn down what’s left so you can get the Feds to build all new? Brilliant if that’s the plan.

I would - there is no reason not to. It anonymous and free, and can provide some protection. In short, there is no downside to it.

All markets will change - that’s an immutable economic law. The problem is when, what direction and by how much. When I bought my Tiger in 2015, the plane market was in some kind of lull, even though the economy was decent. Since that time, prices have done nothing but go up. My guess is the...

Mine took such a course from the 99’s (great organization by the way). She can dial in transponder codes, and change frequencies on the radios. She is fantastic at spotting traffic and calling it out. But actually fly the plane, much less land it, ain’t gonna happen. I’ve tried to get her to...

I agree - it’s getting harder these day. I share a hangar with a club plane with 4 pilots. I’ve asked if they want to fly somewhere together - crickets. I joined the Airport Association- all were, well, old geezers (note - I am 65) and most of gave up flying many years ago. They have zero social...

Mine took about a month. Got the notice in January, completed a new application and got the quote maybe a week later. 25% increase in premiums for a fixed gear, fixed pitched 191 AG5B Tiger with no accidents or incidents or violations. I was told by the broker if I wanted to whine - go ahead...

Welcome. I fly out of KCOE and seem to find myself in Oregon a lot. You need to plan to go to the fly-in at Hood River this September. Wonderful museum and a great time.

Condoms. The extra long ones.

Quite an accomplishment! Congratulations.
