Exactly. Remember, our politicians don't act on reason and rational thinking. They react on emotion and public outcry. There will be wave after wave of "we must make laws to ever prevent something like this from happening again" requests. If the medical reform were still in limbo it would be...

I'm kind of glad the medical reform was passed prior to this accident.

@Cajun_Flyer here's a video capturing some of the fun. It's not my video and they're primarily capturing warbirds coming in. I was almost exactly on the other side of the runway as this guy/gal that made the video. You're able to sit almost at the taxiway so you're very close to the action.

No problem, there's enough time to knock those out and schedule a check ride Wed morning. haha. :) For whatever reason my school had me do my exam at the end of my training so I scheduled my ride right after the exam. I would have much preferred getting it out of the way earlier.

Nice job, now go ace that check ride. ;)

Similar to getthereitis for us, I can imagine there's a level of financial pressure when you have 16 people paying likely hundreds of dollars each to go for a ride. Obviously we have no idea what the facts are in this case, but it will be really sad if they launched into marginal conditions or...

Congratulations on passing. It's just a part of the process to make sure you have a fundamental understanding of the stuff so don't read into it too much. I prepped like crazy and got a 78 on mine and didn't feel to great either. The oral and practical exam are what really matters IMHO.

btw, I flew into Green Bay (GRB) and it was just a normal Class C airport with no stress so you don't have to do the OSH fun in order to go. I signed up a little late this year, but next year I'll fly into OSH early and park at the FBO.

We were standing just north of the 1000' marker on 27 all day Sunday (handheld radio in hand) and it was the craziest thing I've ever seen/heard. There were times when everything flowed great and it wasn't really that stressful and then there were times when all hell was breaking loose with...

So it begins...

Flying back from OSH I got my first Bravo clearance ove MSP today. o_O

Or you can look for discarded bands in the parking lot garbage. Hehe Anyways, we just left today and it's insane how much there is to do and see. EAA app is very helpful and make sure you bring good walking/standing shoes. If you have a spare $435 I can't recommend enough going on the B-17...

I can confirm that the landing gear is very robust on a Cirrus. o_O

Two planes coming in got real close, one of them apparently stalled which caused a wing drop. He went inverted and straight in from approximate 50' up. News is reporting that pilot is ok.

The storm rolling through bunched us all up today. Glad it happened on Saturday.

I'll be ringside all day tomorrow watching them come in :)

Wife and I are flying into GRB tomorrow and have a rental car. We have a hotel in GRB as well so will be commuting it every day and leaving Thursday.

I married an 18 year old (granted I was 18 at the time too.) o_O We're both 42 now and getting ready to be grandparents. :cool:

I'm not a CFI, but from a student standpoint I agree with the others. When I solo'd I "wasn't quite ready" yet because my CFI would keep his hand on the stick and also give me lots of verbal cues. pitch up, pitch down, left rudder, etc and have subtle little nudges on the controls. I did...

I'm 170 as long as you let me round down 50 lbs. o_O
