Much like redtail I too was strange and different. At 39 I still engage in activities that make people think I'm strange. :) I was set in my ways of becoming a pilot at a very early age. I don't even know when or where I was first impressed by it. For all I know I always was born that way...

That's not a state. That's a river in Egypt.

Even if you can't fully understand, I think the fact that you are listening goes a long way. It's what's missing a lot of the time. I will never be a woman, (unless something REALLY crazy happens) but if I want to see things from a woman's perspective, I won't go to one of my guy friends. I...

Hotel Rwanda and Schindler's List come to mind..

WOW man, really??? #3 reminds me of the time I introduced myself to someone. He laughed and asked "Why do all black people have names nobody can pronounce?" and looked back at his friends for support. I said "It's 2 syllables. Dah-nos. And whats the problem? It's not enough that we have...

I'm just throwing this out there and don't know about them in detail, but have you considered looking into fractionals?

I've done a lot of research on this crash. A friend of mine was the pilot. http://www.planecrashmap.com/plane/ok/N819BW

I love the feeling of coming down a wall after climbing it. It's not the same technique as rappelling but it gives what I would imagine to be a very similar feeling. I really want to try rappelling someday.

That's the ride that sprays water on you right? A real insult to injury. My fear of heights ranges, sometimes moderate, and sometimes nonexistent. I've never been afraid of flying and have done electrical and construction work that required me to climb ladders. I've never had a problem with...

Nice writeup! I love Block Island. I've been there more than once for sanity retention. If you want to overnight there the bed and breakfasts are a fraction of the cost in the winter. This time of year its like having an island to yourself.

39 in a few days.

Flying can be a nice getaway too

Sounds great!!

The one he has uses suction cup adhesive. It works vey well

Thanks for the help here guys!

I'm seriously considering getting a sailplane rating in 2012. It seems like a cheaper way to make me a better stick and try something new. Does anyone have any suggestions for the NYC/Long Island area? I looked online, but I'd trust a recommendation more. Thanks

Wow.....

You should be alright. Not sure if they're FAA or JAA, but that should be looked into. I don't believe an FAA certificate is honored in JAA countries. I had an instructor who had every FAA rating under the sun and couldn't rent a 172 in Greece.

A captain I fly with has some kind of black mesh baby sun visor that works very well.
