    Why are you a pilot?

    I would lie to people about taking flight lessons. Usually a feeble attempt to impress a girl. After two years of lies it finally caught up with me, so I had no choice. Pretty lame, I know.

    Brand New PPL. How to challenge myself but stay safe.

    Yes, and some people worry about the FAA ffs. Here's some SD VFR corridor night action in a R22.

    Do you get a flu shot?

    I lose many contracts if I don't get a flu shot. To top that off I'm doing 1099 work, not even an employee.

    Brand New PPL. How to challenge myself but stay safe.

    Congrats! Bite off a small piece of bravo. Plan a leg with a bravo transition that isn't long and have an alternate non-bravo route. I would enter around the Ramona area and exit along the coast, under the shelf. Socal is the only bravo I've flown in, so I can't compare it to anywhere else, but...

    Good, not-too-expensive ANR headset for passenger use?

    I bought this for myself, before I ended up with an A20. I can use either, which is nice because this is cheap enough to leave in the car without worrying about it. Passengers haven't complained. It's $300 or less and runs on AA...

    Seeking Therapy for Flying-Related Anxiety Issues?

    I'm in the same boat as you. It's actually refreshing to me to know people feel the same way. I find it a good thing. I hate complacency. I know people that fly just enough to stay current, the same people that don't announce their position on all legs of the traffic pattern. Screw them. All of...

    Why do people argue glass vs steam?

    This will always be my favorite setup (or anything similar). Both the situational awareness of glass, and the steam redundancy. I wouldn't want all glass, or all steam. Ever... again.

    Las Vegas Controller Incapacitation

    Probably YES. Probable. People are saying she had a stroke, see what I mean? They're not saying probable. Jeez I give up.

    Why do people argue glass vs steam?

    I'm at the airport today and a CFI is ramming the 'ol "you must fly steam" speech. I get it, that's how I started. It has obvious benefits. Why choose one or the other. Wouldn't the best option be glass with some backup steam gauges? What's so bad about that? You get BOTH! I get home and look...
