    Gyrocopter lands on Capital lawn

    Operating a gyrocopter without a license is a felony? I suspect his biggest crime was embarrassing the DHS.

    When dreams come true... (long)

    What airlines are you guys flying again? In the hundreds of CRJs I've flown over the past 15 years, it seems to me that the only requirement for an FA was that she be short enough to stand up in the RJ without hitting the ceiling. Hips hitting seats B and C at the same time? No problem. ;)

    Stop what you are doing and listen to me.

    Well, that didn't go well for Pack fans, did it? All week on sports talk radio I heard about how Payton Manning is done, he's got no more arm left, blah blah blah. Overconfidence earned a loss, IMO.

    Are steep turns part of the IFR checkride / PTS?

    I could swear that I did them on my IR check ride in 2010, but I could be wrong. It was not something that stands out. Timed and compass turns, and unusual attitude recovery sure do.

    Loren, I'll be at our firm's national tax conference January 5-7 at the Radisson Mall of America. If you're not plying the skies in a job you obviously hate, I'd love to buy you that promised beer on the 5th or 6th. I'll reach out when the date gets closer.

    **** Class

    You've got to be kidding me. "****" is now blacked out? You've got to give it to the MC, boy. They've got a real sense of humor. They also like dancing on tops of graves, apparently.

    What are these "security stickers"? Please don't tell me it's a TSA move to put stickers on the exterior of an aircraft.

    The Spin Zone

    Like "the wealthiest 1%", "the GOP 'War on Women'", and "cake bakers have no right to a religious exception." Got it.

    The Spin Zone

    Principles have a way of staying constant in the face of a changing environment. That's why they're called Principles. Principle - noun - a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning.

    The Spin Zone

    I disagree. The Spin Zone gang was more on top of current news and world events, and that drove the vast, vast majority of threads. If you want to see things repeated over and over by the same people, search the main forum for high wing vs low wing, headsets, kneeboards, etc.
