When we lived in SoCal I ALWAYS used Lindbergh since I was going to San Diego - not to Brown or MYF. You do the math - and the cost is about the same - stay for a few nights just negotiate a price for the tie down - the gas is $3 a gallon more than MYF but then its a $30 cab ride less each way...

You don't want to make sure that the person selling you the airplane actually has title? I want to make sure the person buying my airplane has the money. So - escrow is the way to go.

I agree - but in order to get paid most insurers require an ICD 9/10 code. So they MUST Dx you with something. There is a deep need to dx you with whatever - even if its 'depression not otherwise specified' or some unspecified mental disorder that means 'kid seems messed up, not a clue,' and...

Once you know something you cannot unknow something - bein Rx'd drugs like this as a child and not continuing the medication as an adult should not [and likely will not] be disqualifying. The BEST solution [speaking as a lawyer and not as a doc] is to gather the information, have a...

I agree - you possess the certificate - you can use it until revoked or surrendered. A lot of these questions are 'Have you EVER. . . ' - not knowing the Dx at 13 is understandable - not knowing the Dx at 16 less so. Again - none of us are against you flying and all of us understand the...

yeah - just got bored so decided to check things out again!

It happened in your teens - its less than decade - and you don't remember? You don't recall you took a drug daily in your teens for 6 months? And you were hospitalized for a depressive episode over the last decade and don't remember? That's a problem in and of itself. . . .

obviously doesn't apply to your airplane Tim . . . .

Let me add my 2 cents . . . I have owned a Turbo Viking and presently own a Comanche 260C - the Comanche has been a FANTASTIC airplane. . . The Turbo Viking can be maintenance hog - something ALWAYS was going wrong between annuals - and the annuals were a bear. A lot of airplanes are...

Your printer changed IP addresses - I find that most wifi printers work best with dedicated assigned IP4 addresses. Yes - its a hassle - but - once you reserve IP addresses for your printers everything seems to work better. I don't understand why printer companies [listening Canon, HP and...

A well maintained, oft flown well equipped retract or fixed gear will sell easily with multiple offers if properly marketed. If you have a 1970's vintage airplane with 1970's vintage avionics, flown 10 hours a year, and bare bones ADSB its gonna be a dog. . . . It's 2021 - people expect a 2...

yeah - but that should be covered by the tortfeasors insurance policy - and there is no set of circumstances I can think of that result in one's own insurance company paying for the damages - maybe a short term deal to get you fixed until all the claims are adjudicated. Also - hey OP - lawyers...

Last summer really sucked for flying in SoCal - everything was closed, and you could land someplace but then needed to basically be in a hazmat suit to leave the airport . . .

Oh, and PS: you need to understand that a seller is not obligated to fix every little thing your pre-buy service uncovers. If all of the airworthiness squawks are repaired- thats the best you can hope for. It's a used piece of machinery. You can ASK for a perfect used aircraft to be sold to...

As a soon to be seller of an aircraft - it IS 2021 - and scams and the clueless abound - If you are selling [or buying] an airplane - there is too much BS out there in the world - tire kickers, lookiloos etc etc In this day and age I think you need to first identify the aircraft you want -...

Yeah, I'm 5'7" also - I was flying back to SoCal in late September [!] at 10500 and we just got pounded. It was late -within an hour of sunset too.

You're going to the Strip - why would you fly to North Las Vegas or Henderson? Fly into McCarran [or whatever its called now]. My only question is are you IFR rated? The reason I ask is that its so much easier to get into McCarran IFR. You likely won't NEED IFR but its sometimes a bear...

Tell the agent - I'm looking for a type of aircraft and have not found one yet - this is how you game that system . . it's pretty hard to find a decently maintained and equipped and regularly flown aircraft . . . . its usually pick any two. Like with my Comanche 260C - range, speed payload -...

Go see Doc Bruce - he'll feel up your liver and tell you flat out if you abuse alcohol - or somehow or other have cirrhosis . . .

Who needs a 'vehicle.' These days you can prob get a DUI for sitting in your house thinking about being in the road - https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/02/26/man-busted-dui-after-riding-his-horse-california-freeway/372144002/
