Which FBO in Denver? Heading into APA or BJC first of March. Looks like APA (Centenial) has many more choices. BJC (Rocky Mountain Regional) has one FBO and prices look pretty high. If I fly into APA, which FBO is recommended? Need Jet A, perhaps a hangar and will need a rental car. Thanks...

Looks like they did a good job and pacs got out well on the camera; although, one was killed. That isn't explained. Best, Dave http://tinyurl.com/kg9skrs

I've done soft field departure, short field departure, etc. Never a soft/water departure in a plane. Did a few in a helo but it didn't know what was under it. Geesh. Best, Dave

There are a couple guys on Beechtalk.com that are there all the time and several threads on topic if you'd like to check. Best, Dave

Yea, that Pilatus fella that splashed into the ocean off China with the engine running because the prop couldn't be controlled must have been really miffed (g). Best, Dave

You make excellent points of course, I flew a turbo normalized A-36 for years and it was a wonderfully capable plane. I maintained it well and never had an event that led to an emergency other than a lost alternator which was more precautionary than emergency. That plane was certified to...

Ken: It seems like good procedure to line up the heading bug or course needle to runway heading at some point to double check runway. I also do that departing--more than once I've gotten a bit misoriented and that helps me. I have three Garmin units in my plane and had the last segment of...

I have more time in singles than twins, but have kind of worked my way up and feel there's a place for each. I have to say, when flying passengers over water, mountains, at night and low IMC, I'll take the twin. When one does a lot of cross country flying, they will most certainly encounter...

Most of my time is piston time. Wonderful stuff. Noting lowly to it IMO unless you mean below the flight levels :-) Best, Dave

One of those defining moments :-) Dave

Geesh Ed! I hope those days are behind me (g). Just one of those wonderful moments that want us all to keep flying. Hope all is well with you. Best, Dave

Went to a wedding Saturday and wound up departing at night to the south (runway 18) which took me right out over the ocean. A few things made this distinctive and memorable. Before the departure, I had to do the pre-flight in the dark with the FBO closed. Tower was also closed. Don't like...

I don't use the stuff, but always worry about a passenger that may and think nothing of it. Best, Dave

Man walks out of restaurant with 250 pound safe! The restaurant was open and he walked by an employee. Wonder if they asked him if he wanted cheese with that (g) Best, Dave =================================================== http://tinyurl.com/oer8ovk

Guess I'll factor in some more time on the trip home from skiing in Colorado for the SWAT team that meets me in Dallas. I'm sure returning home from Colorado will give them probable cause in their mind. Best, Dave

I've used Henderson and North Las Vegas as those above just because it's easier, fuel is more affordable and ramp/parking fees are less. If you need to be closer and those aren't a concern, I don't see a problem with Las Vegas other than dealing with the busier terminal area that is geared more...

It's one of those times a twin with good differential thrust can be a big help. Landed in OSH last winter in the middle of moderate snow. Braking was poor and there had been ice on the runway for a few days. All was well until I went to turn off and the plane just kept going same direction...

So, if you were with the FBI and had written a secret interrogation manual, how would you try to protect it? Would copyrighting it come to mind? Best, Dave ====================================================== Nick Baumann at Mother Jones has a pretty incredible story up right now -- as in...

Well sir, if he was posting facts, a case could be made for... At this point, it certainly appears to be conjecture or opinion. Best, Dave
