Airplane ownership is more tragedy than comedy.

Too many panels … not enough time. I feel your pain.

Here in northeast Ohio I’m staying indoors with my filtrete furnace filter

I taught both my kids to fly. I highly recommend it. BUT, at first it was challenging. With me in a new position and the kids trying to kill me with every trip around the pattern, the first few hours were NOT fun. Today, they both have their certs and we are working on instruments and I am...

I can’t find the throw over yoke.

Well, there you go, pick two

It’s missing landing gear and tires? It should have a four bladed rotor? Black colored helicopters are unmarked and used for domestic spying?

I would hire Ben Aflac’s hair plug guy, and get myself a new ‘do.

this gives me an idea. Maybe CNN could have a second audio channel. Instead of Spanish, it could be CNN audio for those who have at least a GED. And then the main audio can dumb down the news for those who don’t know what a 360 is.
