    Best cell provider, other than TMobile Senior 55?

    T-Mobile is here for me.................BUT If I wanted to save money I'd just stay in WIFI range and use "Google Voice" that does everything for free! Voice....Text.....and choose your own phone number with ANY area code. If you do go to "Voice" you'll have to keep your T-Mobile account until...

    Pilawt - Jeff Jacobs

    NOBODY knew more about general aviation airplanes/history than Jeff. I wish that his photo album would be published here on PoA. He was a good friend. https://goo.gl/photos/LX36CTaZkSVeY7XZ7

    Who are rated seaplane pilots on POA? 'fess up.

    My favorite place to buy gas was Ocean Falls, B.C. No one was EVER there and to gas your plane you just opened a valve and gravity-fed gas filled your tank. There was NO METER...........and you had to guess/estimate the amount you fed in. This was the old days.........and then you would run...

    Is it safe to fly on a Boeing 737-Max?

    Nope.....The 737 Max8 is a TERRIBLE airplane design. It was designed by accountants in Chicago instead of engineers at Seattle. Those accountants listened to the airlines who were too cheap to buy new type ratings for an airplane that was COMPLETELY different from a 737-200. So they applied...

    Zero hours/sitting idle

    Kenmore Air Harbor, many decades ago, had a customer service..........to where they would ground run customer's floatplanes in the parking lot in the winter. They stopped doing that a few years later after all those engines rusted out.

    Beech V35 Midair Breakup

    Beechcraft was TOTALLY complacent about the breakup problem......so was the American Bonanza Society. Then, the president of the Bonanza Societies "V" tail disintegrated..........and finally, Beech made a strengthening kit. The straight-tail Debonaire is a MUICH better design

    Beech V35 Midair Breakup

    There is no perfect record.....and some years ago I tried to research it......But 350 Bonanzas have disintegrated in flight. It wasn't until the president of the Bonanza society failure that Beech reluctantly made the tail mod............which is only somewhat of a fix.

    The death of an insitution

    I wanted to be a Cub Scout. But they wouldn't let me unless my mother agreed to be a den mother......or whatever you call that. She couldn't......as she traveled the world with my father for View-Master.
