Hysterical!

Ah crap, I missed that. I thought you were talking about him having pets. But still... 10 posts? That's at least 7 more than I expected it to take.

I can't believe it took 17 posts for a response like this. If I'm honest, I'm a little disappointed in you guys...

Well, that was anticlimactic... Thanks guys!

6PC is Keyser Söze

I had a non-pilot ask me this today and the best I could offer was that maybe it has to do with how crabs walk? (I know nothing about crabs, other than their legs are pretty delicious.) Any idea how this saying came to be?

I have the shirt tail from my first solo. My dad (who's also my CFI) insisted, despite it being my favorite shirt. (My wife later had it framed.) And I still have the pen I "stole" from one of the FBOs from my long solo cross country. Otherwise, I have photos with my wife, who was my first...

IMO, the plane starts moving when the fast spinny thing up front starts spinning and doesn't come to rest until the fast spinny thing up front stops. Between those two times, it's still moving under its own power and not at all at rest.

Congratulations! That's a nice looking bird. Any idea where it was based in Wisconsin?

Congratulations! It's been fun following this thread so far, except that I owe @eman1200 a beer... I thought it'd take at least 300 posts before your checkride write-up (I forgot that you have the ability to put 12 or 13 posts in one). ;-) Seriously, though, congrats on this one and I look...

No Hobbs in our plane, so I've modified my starting engine and shutdown checklists to remind me to start/stop the timer on my watch. I have Forefight Logbook, but have never used it (or even really looked at it) since I'm a happy user of MyFlightbook.

I've also used Audacity for years. Never had any issues with it, though I seem to recall it taking a few minutes to understand the interface (it's not hard, it just wasn't immediately intuitive to someone who'd never used audio editing software before). Now I mostly use it to remove long...

It's all fun and games until you flip that thing over and all of that thrust is holding you under water.

We may have one for sale soon. Club officers meet next week to discuss an avionics upgrade. Then, the full club will vote on the recommendation. One option we're considering will be to replace the GTX327 with a 345.

Delayed inbound flight. But they didn't give us that reason. The woman I yelled at last night (and then calmed down and apologized) seemed to do everything she could to help.

Ended up at the Grand Hyatt near D22. Stuck because we made the mistake of flying American Airlines. Long story, but the initial "We knew you (and others) were on your way on a delayed flight, but you missed the connection by 2 minutes" wasn't helped by the later lie that "your flight left on...

Anybody nearby that can direct us to a hotel for the night?

I haven't actually done it, but I've been tempted.... and caught myself before I drifted over.

One trick I was taught was when doing pattern work, NEVER make a bad one be your last one. Those things will rattle around in your brain and feed on your confidence. As long as you're not exhausted or need to be done for some other reason, take the ~6 minutes to go back around and prove to...
