    Affordable Care Act Definition

    Are you able to cite where in the Act that is? There's so much mis-information, I don't want to repeat it without the source. Meanwhile: I'm sure y'all recall the House Speaker stating we have to pass this to see what's in it. Isn't that the definition of a stool sample? Best, Dave

    Anyone Remember Larry Lujack, WLS Chicago

    Do remember him, but more Dick Biondi. He was suspended a couple times after remarks I happened to be tuned in and heard. Like: if woman's skirts get much sorter, they'll have more hair to comb and cheeks to powder. Still remember going to Maduras Dance Land and dancing to Louie, Louie! Some...

    Mini-honeymoon spots?

    Hope you find something Kent. I love Destin, but it can be cold this time of year and places there aren't built for cold. might check. In South Carolina, Charleston is like adult Disney Land if you like architecture. Lots of get-a-ways and touristy stuff. In Ashville, the Grove Park Inn is...

    Uh oh, ramp check!

    Obviously in violation of crew rest requirements. Hope he doesn't land at Landmank: ramp fee will be more than a few cookies :) Best, Dave

    Why do jets have windshield wipers?

    I have them on my King Air and have only found them useful for taxi in rain, but in that case, very helpful. Haven't been on an approach in heavy rain to try them. Best, Dave

    Not the wrong airport, but I did go home from work once or twice after having recently moved to find I was in front of my OLD house or well on the way to it. Sometimes, we're just on cruise control and it can happen (g) Best, Dave

    If one looks at the approach chart for their destination, this airport was on the approach and I believe had the same or near the same runway alignment. I could see how one could descend below clouds, see the runway, take the visual and be in big trouble, especially if tired or as was said...

    Blue Belt

    Thanks guys. This is more like wrestling, not much striking but some to take someone to the ground. My Son got me interested. Never thought we'd stay with it this long when we began. Best, Dave

    Blue Belt

    Now, purple belt! Two years ago, end of October, my Son and I received our blue belts in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It took us over two years to get to that level. Two weeks ago, I received my purple belt which is the next level. Most folks aren't familiar with it. Next would be Brown Belt...

    Elected to EAA Chapter Board of Directors

    Congratulations for being elected to that leadership role in that fine organization. I tip my hat to you. Not quite on point, but my biggest concern is TFRs; seem to be 29 today and I've seen as much as 50 in one day. For someone that flies on long, cross country flights, that gets to be a...

    Why climb for ice?

    If I recall correctly, OAT was -10C. I was IMC but no visible precip; that is, no rain or snow, other than light misting. I think the wind screen iced because it was heated and melted what hit; then, it refroze. I had cycled the boots a couple times but accumulation was trace to very light...

    Why climb for ice?

    If you look at the weather on the Garmin 200, there were lots of red spots on NEXRAD. On board RADAR showed those were all below; good reason not to descend just then. Waited 'til I was past those to start down and had no problem. Approach was great. Now that I think about it, this was going...
