I was lucky to get through the public school system before it became unionized and politicized. I'm very happy with the education I sought out. My father put me into a good school system and excellent opportunities were there for those who chased them. I agree with Denverpilot - learning...

You can try Arapahoe Aero Avionics at Denver Centennial. Not sure how they'll compare on price, but they did a complete panel upgrade on my old Mooney a few years ago and I was very happy with their work.

Laptops and Windows didn't even exist when I was in college. Here is what my dorm room PC looked like: And yet my roommate and I had hours of fun playing one of the first versions of Flight Simulator on it!

Nice shot, Mitch! That guy is one of my hangar neighbors. It's a beautiful airplane.

I've been cleared out of John Wayne airport to VFR on top dozens of times over the years. The point is to punch through the coastal stratus, with tops normally around 3000-4000', and then get to the proper VFR altitude (8,500' northbound) to traverse the Hollywood Park Route through the LA Class B.

Al sat in the front!

I'm 53. 40's not the end of the world. You can't even see it from there. The other day my wife and I were having a discussion about how there is not a single societal trend going on in the USA that we agree with or even understand. Tats. Piercings. Gender confusion. Man buns. Facebook. The...

He's been a great ambassador for GA, but the last plane he flew without incident was the Millennium Falcon.

This just makes me want to puke. So many problems. "In sight," not "Inside." The "alarm" was clearly a blocked radio call. The planes never got closer than one or two miles from each other. Journalism in this country is pathetic. Absolutely no credibility whatsoever.

My Mooney Acclaim is turbo normalized and not much more complicated to operate than my normally aspirated RV-8. Just need to add throttle gradually during the takeoff roll to avoid overboosting, and then watch the turbine inlet temperature when leaning for cruise, but that's about it. I'm not...

My longest day in the air was when I flew my Piper Archer II from Idaho Falls, ID to Minneapolis, MN to trade it for my first Mooney back in May of 2000. 8.2 flying hours that day, much of it in light to moderate turbulence. That was a long day but I was a lot younger and really enjoyed it!

reintarnation: After death, coming back to life as a hillbilly.

I've flown my Mooney to Cabo several times and am not aware of any flight clubs or rentals at either airport. You might check with the FBO at Cabo San Lucas airport. Their email address is ingresos@acsl.com.mx and they speak English. I've done Cabo Sky Tours and highly recommend it. Much more...

Which model Mooney are you looking at? As a longtime Mooney owner/pilot I can tell you they're hard to beat for serious travel. Good luck!

I have Pre and it's useless because I have an artificial hip. For some reason the Pre lines default to metal detectors, but I have to go through the body scanner which is typically closed and unmanned. So I end up waiting up to 5 minutes for someone to come and scan me through, negating any time...

I love my RV-8 but hate riding in back. Very uncomfortable for flights of any duration. My RV is finished out pretty nice but a lot of the tandem RVs are not to conserve weight for aerobatics. I love all airplanes!

You're excused, LOL. :) Love your avatar, BTW.
