If you stay at a good hotel, they have Coke, water and even wine in the fridge in your room. Granted, it's $20/pop (see what I did there? :D ) but at least they have some! :)

Out of Lago Vista and over Lake Travis, I see. Good choice. And great pictures!

"Left a hole in the hearts ..." How about "left a hole in the roof"? No disrespect meant. If you look at the pictures, the impact had so much energy, the airplane made a vertical hole in the roof of the nail salon. This was no flat spin. He went in nose first. No mayday calls to the tower, btw...

I bet it's not the only limit on the warranty. Be careful, it probably says something like "500 hours or 1 year, whichever expires first".

Yup. The 177 has the biggest cabin in its class which happens to include 182s as well. I was surprised too. An inch here and there can make a big difference on comfort. Especially cabin width. However, this roomier cabin comes at a price: heavier airplane and lower cruise speeds. So it depends...

Yeah, if you manage to explain to my wife why she needs to get into a transportation device like a contortionist, I'll buy you a beer. :D

^^^^ THIS Have your wife sit in the airplanes you are considering. You sit in there too. You both do. Get in and out multiple times. Emulate that you forgot to disconnect the towbar or pull the chocks. Guess which one she will choose quickly. :) I give this same advice to all pilots who cannot...

Dangit, didn't know, I would have taken my buddy there when I visited Dover a few weeks ago. File in my brain for future trips to DE. :) Thanks! Hmm, did I miss a memo? I'd love to get me some tax refund. Got a link or some instructions? I filled up in DE twice. Hope I can get some cash back.

Agreed, call the supervisor to discuss. The controller might need retraining to follow their prescribed language better. "Cancel with me or on this phone number" is what I'd expect. Anything else (non-standard phraseology) might create confusion and tie up the frequency further. Be nice about it...

Negative.

When I do my GUMPS check on final, I also say to myself that I've been cleared to land (so far every time :) ) and check the rwy numbers ahead of me. Good practice to avoid landing on the wrong rwy (or a taxiway). Btw, the video only shows an airplane moving fast on the ground. I did not see an...

Many have suggested you might be getting another call from the FAA, Br-Y-an. But I think it might be your CFI who gets the call this time. ;) Keep us posted.

Another great video, had coffee coming out my nose. (DON'T DO THAT!!) Too many great references. "I just did a stall, did you feel that?" "Nope, I felt nothing" OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're doing it Wong. :D

You might want to retract your statement and apologize to any snowflakes and feminazis who choose to decide to find an offense in your words that should be protected by the 1st amendment. Do you own a Toxic Masculinity t-shirt? :D

Nose-dragger RV. 'nuff said. All seriousness aside, was this an emergency? Is there any more information?

Gorgeous airplane, can't agree more. I especially like the picture above the fluffy cloud cover. Well done, Jack, as usual!

Highly! :D

How many times has AOPA killed their forums so far? I myself know of only 2 instances. But I agree, this sounds like a cop-out.

Insurance is socialism. You pay for others. The more others spend, the more it costs you. If others make more mistakes, it costs you more. If others maliciously prang their airplanes (so that they don't have to pay for engine rebuild), it costs you more. Just like car insurance. Cost always goes...

Bob is right, regulations require you to use the full registration identifier. However useful it is in the pattern, especially for aircraft with 2" symbols (instead 2' symbols). If the FCC wants to ask the FAA to pull my license if I "forget" to use my full ID, I'd like to see the bureaucratic...
