Well this will show my age! Got my first ride in this glorious airplane in 1950 out of Midway in Chicago for a commercial flight to Topeka, KS. This year at Sun-N-Fun my son finally was able to see the "inside" of the old gal. Only problem was they had converted her to a turbine engine. Just...

Thank you, JustinD, for getting this thread back on track -- at least momentarily! Guess these "price gouging" professors just needed to vent. Glad you had a good experience in TLH. I always found them to be "good people" when I flew in FL. Hope you fared okay at the home front. Now if we...

Congratulations!!!! Where are you going for that $100 hamburger?

Agree with getting your life in order before the storm hits. We always did that and my son was well prepared for Matthew. That being said, some things are just out of your control. Like having to move inland to a hotel. You can't control what you will be forced to pay when the rate has...

I remember a thing on TV couple years back about a hurricane hunter that was in the eye wall of a storm, lost an engine, and couldn't penetrate the winds to get out. They were getting bounced around more than I'd care to experience. Ended up sending another plane, aka "seeing eye," into the...

Thanks, Tom. He is doing much better. Even came out of hiding to be sociable again. If that cat you're having a problem with doesn't have a caring family then may I suggest you take him to the ASPCA. I adopted mine from the humane society and he is absolutely the most loving pet one could...

Can only hope someday he'll be the victim of price gouging!!!

Okay guys. Whether you jest or are serious what you post reflects on your personality. Yeah I'm sensitive on the cat subject cause my 9 yr old Maine Coon had been sick for 3 days earlier this week. X-ray didn't show any abnormalities, for which I am grateful but none the less, he is my...

My son who is in Central Fl has a lot of leaf raking to do, few roof shingles to return to their rightful place, and is glad he has a generator since power has been out for quite awhile. Other than that, he is doing okay. Over 800 now dead in Haiti with the count expected to rise when they...

Well, the AG disagrees with you. When hotel rooms triple, 24 count of bottled water is $30 and gas goes to $6/gal from $2/gal that's not supply and demand - that's price gouging - and in FL the AG wants to hear about these crooks. She's gonna be awful busy for awhile.

They're just fine. Didn't you see the rabbit's foot hanging from the ceiling!!! LOL What's Va in the P3? It's fun to watch their track on Flight Tracker. And I agree with Mulligan. I bruise too easy to take this ride.

Got to thinking, not always a good thing, but, how much the GA (general aviation - not the state) folks stay together in times of natural disasters. We all have seen the price gouging going on in FL -- difficult times seem to bring the worst out in some people, companies, etc. I know of one...

That grinning skull is all over social media. Yeah, it's real. My son is in FL hunkered down. Embry Riddle flew their planes to Auburn. Afraid lots of GA planes will be damaged - even those hangered when it comes down. This is a MAJOR storm and is going to do lots of damage. Glad I'm in MO...

Yeah, this. Embry Riddle moved all of their fleet to Auburn. AL. Dorms are even closed. Guess everyone is bunking down in a real college. Was just over on Flight Tracker watching the P-3 flying around in Matthew. That's a ride I really don't think I'd enjoy.

Seems that Ozark Tech College is adding an aeronautical course study to its agenda beginning next fall which will offer the aeronautical college degree and team with the newly opened flight school at KSGF for flight training - Premier Flight Center LLC. Premier already teaches the standard...

I did a lot of checkouts for our rental planes so based on my experience and mine only here goes: 3 checkouts remain vivid in my diminishing mind. Both were 121 pilots, both were captains and flew 747 and L1011 international flights so lets safely assume they had lots of experience. That...

Service was broadcast on ESPN and The Golf Channel. Very well done -- watched it all. Lots of good stories about Arnie. Vince Gil sang two songs and being a fan of Gil I can say he never sounded better. He was Arnie's favorite singer although several speakers mentioned Arnie's loss of...

Question: Would you vote for a candidate that had REAL GA experience (like a pilot certificate) and promises to "fix" the FAA regardless of political ties? I know -- it's never gonna happen -- fixing the FAA I mean. I'm watching the football game -- more believable than listening to 2 people...

OK - what's worse -- the guy who ran out of fuel or this idiot? http://generalaviationnews.com/2016/09/13/pilot-forgets-to-add-oil-after-oil-change/

While on 7th grade trip to Washington, DC, touring the White House was shoved to the floor by an older, and forever in my memory, student right in front of Pres. and Mrs. Eisenhower who were coming down the steps. Ike helped me to my feet and asked if I was alright! Thanks older student...
