All yesses from me. I admire your enthusiasm!

Maybe take a trip to Austin instead? If I ever have to go to Texas again (lived there for 14 years) that's about the only place I'd go.

I have been known to 'replace' a screw in the rudder fairing during preflight and not say anything, see if they say anything. Using the biggest screwdriver, of course, with dramatic oomph. Then takeoff and mumble "shoulda checked the other side..." "What?" "Oh nothin, we would have known by...

Heck of a pilot for propierly handling a screw job. Seemed like he was up a crick without a paddle for a minute there. I bet he'll thrust himself back into the air. Spinners off to Spencer, he's fanitastic! So if the prop is found, does it count as a prop strike? How does a pilot stay cool...

Only if someone gets hurt. :):):) Dangit! Now the gubment is taking away from private industry again. We just got these new contracts signed and everything. What's next? Drones and micro applications? Have they seen what happened when the Canadians did that? The price of maple syrup went...

I like to ski.

Read this article maybe? TLDR: What else is being addressed in a similar fashion? And, more importantly, does the owner know the insurance company will pay for the inspection? Or, ugh, no insurance...I see now.

This is really good advice. The airlines don't care what the degree is in. Oh wait, Greg already said that. My degree is in Geology. I still use it when I look out the window from my office at FL370. I'm 6'2" Never furloughed, but I had a back up plan - and it was MUCH less expensive...

Here's my take. I won't let people rent my plane. BTDT Love what you do and do what you love. The rest of the world has multiple generations under one roof, a faux pas in Western cultures. I was a co owner of a plane while living at home. I'm fortunate to have these memories. I...

I'm still using my Ufly Mike QC15 contraption. Works great in airliners, decent in the Sierra. I have two, infact. One has about 5 years of service and about 3000 hrs. The other is NIB. Bought for a spare and haven't needed it. Also my A20 is best for the Slowarria. My DC Pro X is...

Bwahahahahaha!! I've never done that three times! Welcome to the club. What new words did you make up when the geyser was active? FWIW, I always read your posts with an H. John Benjamin voice.

You too, huh?

"Never buy a plane to save money." - Said every aircraft owner ever But, if you like opening up your hangar door a few times a month and look at your airplane as you slap your back in an "atta boy" fashion, MPTO. I do, and sometimes I even get to fly it. Nothing like spending about a 1 AMU a...

Welcome back!! I remember in the good ol'days when I had to spend a few hours reteaching future pilots who had "a whole buncha Xplane time logged." First lernt, is the hardest unlernt. FAA even says that. My favorite student was the one who had zero time behind any yoke. But since OP has...

Just to add another perspective, and to follow up on @hindsight2020, I have to keep aware of the human element in all my flying. Professionally and personally, my safety begins before getting in the car to go to the airport. No matter what anyone says, flying has very little good analog to...

I concentrate on not saying "with you" more than think about pronouns. But with the wife on board as WIC, it's we.

Ahh the mighty Brazillia. Have fun in that one! I know two guys that flew there. They had all good things to say. But they are also mentally healthy, so they have a hard time letting the petty stuff get to them. If you want TP flying with some great scenery, Ace up here in AK is a great...

Thank you for this post. Time in 737 -200, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9. I learned and had some stuff reinforced.
