Man, thanks for the tips and encouragement everyone. Really I was just taking a moment to vent after being thoroughly confused by the acronyms! Great recommendations!

I used the Sporty's videos for my PPL and figured I'd give them a try for the IR, too. Dadgum, this is a freaking alphabet soup of terms. I've not been able to spend a whole lot of time on them, and I knew I was going to need to go through them a few times to get the gist ... but I feel like...

Sadly ... some of us are more than just that kind of nerd ...

I'm glad I'm not the only one to do that! Most of my drives home I'm listening to it because I'm not in the mood for music or talk radio. On a related question, does anyone have a favorite GA heavy airport to listen to? I usually land on KAPA (no pun intended ... okay maybe a little). The...

Henning, I generally like your aviation contributions to the site, and was glad to see you return from your forced sabbatical. But this is a pretty blatant attempt to prove your own theory in regards to the SZ. I disagree with many of your assertions, but love the out of the box thinking for...

I see this a lot on a lot of different kinds of boards. The answer to the question in your subject is "Yes ... if that's what they want." It's their site, and sometimes "because I said so" is all they need. There's no affiliated organization like AOPA, there are no rules of incorporation, no...

I happened to be looking out the window at the time of the turn, but it was noticeable, even without that.

Thank you for not leaving me hanging and making me feel like I was the only adolescent mind amused by this!

It was about 45 miles, so quite liberally would be right, if that's what happened.

"Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?" - Real Genius Not an aviation movie, but it's kind of how I feel when I fly, so ...

Actually, there was one: Though, I think it is a little too obscure to require a turning in of your pilot cards. Now, some of the other ones, especially Top Gun ... yeah, that's a different story.

Had an early morning commercial flight back from Denver today. Flightaware has a cool feature that lets you look up a commercial flight and load the filed flight plan into Foreflight, and this is what came up. KDEN PYPER BGD POTTY KDFW After take off and flying the departure, we made it...

Congrats, Mike! This is part of my plan, too. Need some hours and ratings, though. I have cleared with the school owner to be able to do charity flights of the 4-legged variety until then.

Rumor on the interwebs is that both 1 and 2 were the same, but the fact that he wasn't wearing pants was distracting. So he had to redo it.

HA! Unfortunately, it's the OPEX that has her worried. I could go buy the plane right now without issue. But, every month the hangar and insurance bills were do I'd be getting an earful. Not to mention any MX. Still trying to figure out how to make all this her idea!:wink2:

Clearly, I'm not very smart sometimes ... Thanks for the tip.

My wife has been on me for Christmas and birthday gift ideas. Apparently my repeated response of "A plane", hasn't been the kind of thing she's looking for. So I've been working on some ideas. One of the ideas was a BKool for summer flying. The rental planes I've been flying are all 12v, and...

Is there an entire county that hosts the Little League World Series that shares a name with this company?

1. How did you find your career? Got one of those "useless" degrees in Psychology. Was done with school, so I started to teach at New Horizons. Got the Microsoft certs, parlayed that into a Sys Admin position, then Manager and now Director. 2. Was it based on your interests at the...
