Does being a recreation pilot mean that I should know the history of aviation? For some reason Orville makes me think of popcorn.

With all due respect to her, a pilot flying around the world is not history. World war is history, assassination of a President is history, atomic bomb on Hiroshima is history. Sorry but flying a plane doesn't even make the top 10. I'm 41 and only know that she tried to fly around the world...

"The report notes private pilot Mark Matter was at the controls of his 1949 Piper PA-11 airplane when it crashed on Marvel Dome, 40 miles south of their home in Aniak, not far from its intended destination near the couple's gold mine, on Dec. 15, 2016." They had a gold mine?

Yep, that's why I said to be subtle. Don't make it too obvious that you are trying to get out of it. LOL

In the case of the $18,000 loss, you should not have to serve. I'd never subject myself or my family to hardship (any type) to serve on a jury. I'm patriotic but there's plenty of single people with no kids that would not be inconvenienced very much by a case like that. But even if the judge...

Is the fee one-time or annual?

Are you sure?

It seems like it would be un-survivable in any case where you are more than 20 feet AGL. That's probably my 2nd biggest fear in flying, after water landing/crash. I would hate to be at 6k feet and then snap and I'm in a full (nose-down) dive into whatever is below me knowing that I will be...

You could get a McD's value meal.

In my trial, it was the person chosen first, juror #1. We didn't have a choice. The girl was freaking out that she would have to read the guilty verdicts and the defendant may come after her.

I hear a lot of people trying their hardest to get out of jury duty. I can understand when people are self-employed or don't get paid by their company. Getting $40/day for jury duty is crap. But I get paid normally from work, so personally, I can't get enough. Besides being your civic duty...

I think people are referring to the separation of church and plane.:rolleyes: I would prefer for them to keep the invisible man in the sky to themselves and not involve me in their calls to pray.

From what I remember, most days, it starts to die down at 4pm. By 5, it's usually quiet. But there were days where 4pm was already quiet.

Like the number on Friday, it's busy. I guess they call so many people that it's always busy. Sucks to think about older or unknowing (usually poor) people getting victimized by these Indian scumbags.

Yes. I just got a phony IRS call. Seems that I "tried to file fraud tax return". Who talks like that? I have to call them back and have a little fun. 361-209-8672

I had the most persistent telemarketer call me on Saturday on my home phone. It was my home area code but an Indian guy. Spoofed. I'm usually not nasty but this guy was asking for it. He was pushing Verizon Fios. They offer 79.99 service but when you add DVR's, 2 boxes, faster internet...

I can't deal with weekend flying anymore at FRG. The last Saturday that I flew, I was held short on RWY 1 for 45 minutes because a jet blocked Bravo waiting for his release. Finally, they started intersection departures but the line was so big that Bravo runup was blocked. The only exception...

"Imagine you’re a deer. You’re prancing along. You get thirsty. You spot a little brook. You put your little deer lips down to the cool, clear water. BAM! A f—in’ bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! Now I ask you: Would you give a f—...

I had the same feeling. I imagine flames on my toes at 3k feet. Not a place I want to be. I learned my lesson about declaring last year when one of my cylinders cracked in flight and I lost partial power. I had just passed under the JFK Bravo when I went to climb back up and it happened. I...

Yeah, Stewart was one of the airports that I landed at when I did my long CC solo. I landed , got off the runway, and was taxiing to take off again, and thought it was a good idea to take a few pics of the C-130 or whatever the big grey military plane was. All was good until I realized that I...
