    What constitutes low/med/high time to you

    People have different aptitudes when it comes to flying airplanes and people do different things when they are flying their airplane. I don't think competency in an airplane is a function of hours and I think low time/mid time/high time has no real meaning.

    Constan Speed Props ... a "Better" way to Teach It

    The independent instructors on my field, and there are a fair number of them, do their ground school in the FBO lobby. Once or twice a day, I sit in there to have a cup of coffee or a Coke and relax a bit. I always enjoy the blind teaching the blind that occasionally pops up in those discussions.

    Struggling to Land the Plane

    When I picked up flying again after 34 years off, and before I did my tailwheel training, I was struggling with landing also. I found this to be the most helpful advice... https://www.amazon.com/Make-Better-Landings-Ellesmere-Bramson/dp/0711019525

    Met Kermit Weeks and a very neat airplane

    Last Thursday, there was a very very cool looking airplane parked outside the FBO at Lantana, KLNA. I took some pictures then went inside for a bit. Fellow came in asking where to pay for fuel and damn if it wasn't Kermit Weeks. I said hey Kermit Weeks, let me shake your hand. We chatted a bit...

    Stuart FL Air Show Practice Crash

    My heart stopped because we have a Mohawk going to the show from KLNA but that would be a static display, no performance. This was the Dr. that performs aerobatics. Still hits hard. I never met the doc but folks I work with knew him well. R.I.P.

    Want To Buy INDEPENDENT CFII near Michiana w/in 40 miles of KMGC

    PS, I like how folks think that script-kiddies that grab phone numbers off publicly-accessible web pages cannot handle little tricks of formatting. No offense but either put your number or don't. I recommend don't.

    Want To Buy INDEPENDENT CFII near Michiana w/in 40 miles of KMGC

    Paid $60/hr for my tw endorsement from an independent in 2011 but he was fantastic and instructed in just about anything that flew. Worth the money. Paid $40/hr for an independent to finish up my IR last year. She was very good too and a bargain at that price. ATP-rated and one of the best...

    Space junk getting more stupid....

    I have no trouble with silly and fun things like this. I do have a problem that it created a hazard due to bad engineering on, I guess, Samsung Europe's part.

    Petroleum Service Company?

    Nice B&M building (literally!!), I would not be concerned. Your CC will cover if they defraud you.

    What do you do for living (or used to)?

    Milorganite aside, I doubt the type of sludge he's talking about can be used on human-destined crops. I worked 27 years for Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer. We sold our sludge to sod farms. To be honest, I'm not even sure if we sold it or paid them to take it away as I think we never got the...

    What do you do for living (or used to)?

    Milorganite says on their website that they can be used on vegetables destined for human consumption. They just say that they cannot be used if you want to remain "certified organic"... https://www.milorganite.com/faq
