Even worse, they are allowed to vote and breed!

Oops, did I forget to mention his wife is a sub-contractor?? My bad.

In my best Yakov voice and accent: "In Amedika, imperrrrsonatink an officer is illegal. In India, imperrrsonatink anyone is illegal". So yeah, frankly, what laws did he break? Was it the epaulets? The sunglasses? The ID?

Now do you mean "REAL VFR in REAL VMC" or possibly "REAL VFR in REAL IMC"? Because REAL men fly REAL VFR in REAL IMC with no VFR or IFR equipment. Well, they do cheat with a duck and a cat. But that's an entirely different thread.

Lots of good feedback in this thread. However, I saw a hilarious ad somewhere in Redneckville, MI where a pilot and airplane owner offered to take a couple up in his modified airplane. The rear seat were removed and replaced with a mattress. So you could pay to join the mile-high club in a tiny...

It also depends whether anal exam is included or not. Those AMEs who throw it in for free, you might want to stay away from. :D

Just tell the agent on the phone to cancel the current one for security reasons and mail you a new one. "Don't mail it to my house, it will be safer if you mail it to the precinct. Just make sure you put Detective before my name, there's another guy at the precinct with a similar name and they...

I do not know many mechanics who are willing to fly in an airplane they just worked on. Fortunately, my mechanic trusts not only his skills but also mine so he doesn't mind doing a test flight with me after maintenance. Let us know what you find!

How about this one? Can millennials identify this component? :)

From the expired ones, yes. BTDT! :)

Congratulations, you had an emergency and you got everybody on the ground safely. Now you're second guessing yourself. We all do that. Use it to learn what to do in the future, should you have another emergency. As far as the emergency process itself, tower probably filed a report with the...

Sheesh, 3 pages and y'all still haven't figured out the right answer? Since the airplanes are flown by pilots (who are arrogant creatures by nature), BOTH airplanes have the right of way. And since both pilots are so good, they will sort it out when the time comes, no worries. Now how hard was...

1) George already posted great YT links. 2) Yes! Yes! YES! FWIW, take baby steps, learn one graph feature at a time. It looks complex but in reality, it is a lot of simple plots on one chart. The quantity makes it look initially overwhelming.

Meh, some handle stress better than others. Had a failed gear extension problem once with the wife. In flight (duh). She sounded stressed out and shaken. That's before I told her I have a backup hand lever to pump the gear down. So I used it. Gear locked, got a green, landed uneventfully. She...

Why wouldn't it be? :) Compressorhead is pretty popular. I know, I know, it's a new fad, this is the Devil's music, it will never catch on etc etc etc. Seems familiar but I am too old to remember where I've heard that before. :D

Another BS study to find a solution to a non-existent problem. Anybody who is forced to work with the general public should be drinking heavily, possibly on the job too. I deal with idiots occasionally but I cannot imagine doing so as part of my job. I guess it would make me an alcoholic. Just...

If I had a nickel every time I flew over a famous rwy ..... I'd have a quarter today. :D But seriously, cool thing that they let you do that. Many pilots still don't understand the basic concept of "ask and ye shall receive". I guess your overflown famous runway is still cooler than all my...

"I just got off a Ryanair flight from Dublin to Gatwick where this bloke was threatening to shoot flight attendants after they stopped serving him drinks. Apparently he's been charged with making death threats and, if convicted, he could lose his pilot's license."

I don't disagree with you , especially on style. I'd rather have a sleek Mooney. But you know ... wife and all. :) If the speed difference is 5 knots around 130kt TAS, the time difference would be 5 minutes on a 2hr flight. And frankly, wife won't last more than that anyway. LOL I personally...

That's why I ripped the crap-o-matic transmission out of my car and installed a 5-speed. It took a lot of measuring to do it right and of course some fabrication, cutting, bending, welding, bolting and threading but I got it right. Much more fun to drive a stick now! And that's just a tiny...
