    In the very early process of picking a plane....

    I agree with others. Cessna 182, however I would be looking at an RG model personally. Wish I had gone that route to get through my commercial rating. "Dang retractable gear requirements" BTW.. Good luck with your training! Stick with it!!

    Binary Options Trading

    Can you do the same thing as binary Options? Is there Ladder trading? I don't know crap about that stuff. I like that you can mostly guess correct if you just estimate where the charts will be based on the past few hours/minutes. i like that I don't need to know much about the stuff to have fun...

    Binary Options Trading

    Well, after reading about how much of a scam it is and not to waste any time or money messing with it.. I did a little research and settled on a place to do the trades and came up with a strategy. If you like to gamble this stuff is prob not for you. or actually, may be what you have been...

    6500' I can nae nae..10000' you must be cray cray

    I go on Oxygen above 9K. Flying at 17.5 VFR is pretty fun. Not much uncontrolled traffic up there. Above FL180 I have no desire to do again in a non pressurized aircraft unless its a critical situation to get above some nasty weather. but, yeah.. 10K. no worries. grow a set! :)

    Son Challenges the Father

    My dad and I used to arm wrestle occasionally through the years growing up and always whoop my a$$. When I was around 17 I started working out like crazy. Went from 170lbs of skinny to 220lbs of pure muscle meat head. I hadn't arm wrestled him for close to a year and when we did it was way too...

    I stood my ground.....

    Frost can be a pain in the a$$.. Buy a small container of TKS fluid or have an FBO that sells it fill up a spray bottle for you to keep it handy. My Cirrus uses TKS so I keep a 50 gal drum around, but the stuff will make quick work of frost plus it will hang around for a bit on the wings while...

    This could work. I need 9 people with ~$15k each and we are in business!

    I received all the details as well yesterday and looked things over. The assets that convey are likely easily worth the price tag of $150K if you can snatch it up for that. I have a feeling you will need to be on the inside to make this deal happen. Is there a reason a non-profit couldn't be...

    ladies and gentlemen, I bring you....

    Who the hell taught you how to buckle your belt. You totally used the wrong hand, and that is VFR weather and your F'n head was in your crotch. What if a bird was flying around, hell what if a damn drone was flying around!! you would have hit it for sure. I'm reporting this to the FAA.

    I hate cancelling trips...

    That is not the same situation as here northern WV/south western PA. You are assuming you could leave Missouri and the icing would be the same as here? For one that is not even the same weather front. Second, You wouldn't be able to get below the MVA to even descend out here. Freezing temps are...

    I hate cancelling trips...

    I was looking at flightaware a few minutes ago and watching the live traffic flying over where I live. I was amazed to see how many guys are flying through the icing layers in non-fiki aircraft with all the pireps and icing forecast. These guys are on IFR flight plans too. Did they even check...

    Ever shorter landing distance practice

    I used to be able to get the 182 in around 600'-800'. I am cursed or something with the Cirrus. Best so far is about 1200' but that can easily turn into a 4000' landing at times. :)
