    Flying: The most difficult thing you will ever do in life!

    If nothing goes wrong then flying is trivial. It's when things go south that it becomes more difficult and since you can't pull over and park while you figure out what is wrong, you better be ready before bad things happen. That is why it's a hard thing.

    100 acre Private FAA Airport in NY (need to sell)

    I was born near there and the family moved down to Long Island when I was 6. I have a very good friend who lives in Binghamton, about 20 miles away.

    1977 182Q

    I have a 77 q model and like it a lot. I am suspecious of a plane with a factory new engine being sold with zero hours. It's possible they put the engine in and ran out of money. Looks a little weak on avionics but that does give you the opportunity to put in what you want.

    Chuck Yeager - Lawsuit Crazy?

    I had lunch with him and Bud Anderson at Osh back in 99. I had just gotten my license 5 months before and flew a T-41 out to Osh. I knew who he was of course and he was very nice to me and my son. He and Bud signed my Warbird Pilot hat. I've heard the stories about him being a jerk but...

    Proposed new rule(s) to Rules of Conduct

    Here's a suggestion to battle the hiding behind a screen name issue. Allow users to maintain a screen name so bots can access the name but allow a registered user to request a real name from the system. Perhaps this might temper some of the rude behavior if people knew they could not hide...
