You are forbidden from flying a Bonanza while wearing the glider bucket hat. :) I know past performance is no indication of future gain, but when we where shopping for our Bonanza last year, prices continued to climb, aircraft in our desired years (relatively "new") were scarce and sold fast...

Ah Brian with a y ... you never fail to make me chuckle! :)

My wife got her Costco membership when it was Price Club ... from the original, first Price Club store, in San Diego. I had a business account with Pace, before they became Sam's Club. One year with membership renewals coming up, we did a trial run with our normal shopping list at Costco and...

I like the Roman Numeral thing ... makes me feel like a luxury car or something .... LXII

I was at Miramar the whole time (when not deployed). Came into the community after they transferred from North Island and left before they transferred up north.

How do you spread the wings when you "absolutely must leave NOW" and something hydraulic has **** the bed ... at Atlanta, GA? "Hey there's Tilly! Gimme some webbing!" Tilly hoisted the wing into the spread position and the wing locks successfully dropped into locked position ... confirmed with...

My wife's a hairdresser and has done the pre-emptive haircut for a number of chemo patients. She says it feels as hard for her as she believes it is for them. Most of mine (hair) abandoned ship years ago due to genetics.

Here's a little peek into the C https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/25572/confessions-of-an-e-2c-hawkeye-radar-operator

Just for grins and giggles, I'm going to close my eyes and see how much of a walkthrough I can do from old memory. The last flight I had in the -B was 04-NOV-84 ... follow along with the virtual tour linked at the top if you want. First, I'm not sure if the virtual tour lets you access the...

I was at RVAW-110 Miramar (E-2B) in 78-79, VAW-112 from 79-83 ( 1 cruise in the E-2B, then 2 cruises in the E-2C) then VAW-88 and back to the E-2B again.

Take a virtual walkthrough of my old office. This poor old Hummer is in sad sad shape. But I can still remember (most of) my preflight. My seat was the first one in the back. https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=iYXyYDFujgW&fbclid=IwAR3m6MW8ghZ0fWwHEhfmBxl7gxwgjWsTd8Xi_4C1Kja6y-aKgTKeTvTBPf0

and if symptoms WERE present, I don't believe I would test ... why? I would just self-quarantine and continue with life such as it is. No desire to become another data point.

I agree ... except at this stage of training, one doesn't usually even know the questions to ask. Kudos to the OP for asking!

One trick I learned was to always put the gas cap in my back pocket while fueling. If I made it to the second tank with a cap still in my pocket, I couldn't put the second one in there (ok, yeah, I DO have at least 2 pockets). If I made it back to the pilot's seat with a cap in my pocket, I...

I bought the WiThings Connect BPM prompted by my TIA episode a few months ago (still think it's a bogus diagnosis, BTW) https://www.amazon.com/Withings-BPM-Connect-Pressure-Monitor/dp/B07SJV1HNR

I bought the GrillEye Pro when Costco had a few on the shelf. It works well. I still want to get a Thermopen ... are you listening, Santa? Grilleye - https://grilleye.com/

it continues to this day from some of the (us) passive-aggressive types at "Jeff-uh-Metro"...

because everyone has to show ID to access the airport ops area.

Guess I'm getting old and nostalgic ... that was a fun read. Good to see some of the old posters ... really miss a few who are no longer with us on POA or at all. Take care, y'all!

Not too soon ... in fact way later than it should be, in my opinion. I was sick of summer after the first 30 days of high 90°s - about 4th of July, I think. We’re in a significant drought, the state is burning up (beetle kill trees that were not cleaned up more than lack of precip, again in my...
