Probably didn't charge for bags.

It's a ton of fun and I'd probably strangle someone if I was stuck in a cubicle for 8 hours. Plus, someone once told me that if I find something I like to do I will never have to work a day in my life. Now...I've learned that's a bit of a stretched truth but I love what I do. I think for...

Don't let the Elgin guys scare you. If you are ifr they will reroute as needed. Sounds like you are Vfr though so as long as you stay on flight following and pay attention to your charts you will be fine. That east west corridor is full of sight seeing traffic and military anyways.

Uhhuh suuure it's fake. I mean what CFI can afford a stearman? :P

I fly in the real world and let me tell you that if we are uncomfortable with anything in our king airs and citations, our MX chief knows about it! Oftentimes he will stop what he's doing to take a look at whatever is causing a concern. Passengers will not put up with anything abnormal they...

Your title is a bit misleading. You still posted mostly about what instructors could be doing wrong, not the students. However, you do have some excellent points. I remember having a CFI text the whole time. On occasion is fine, but not in the middle of a maneuver. I cannot compare to 25 years...

Pilot finance has ridiculously high interest rates. That's the one thing I remember. If you can do pay as you go, I would recommend it. The way it worked at the flight school where I taught is you signed the receipts after each flight and we would fax in a copy. I don't believe you were...

Adds to the aerodynamic qualities

Eh, I don't wanna live in Alaska. Plus, pilot job opportunities on craiglist seem a bit sketchy.

Keep at it. Consider yourself normal! I've met very few pilots that were aces at the radio. If it helps, I have a few thousand hours and I bomb the radio sometimes. The other pilot laughs with me and we move on! Some things that will help: write out a script of what you would say and expect...

Captain makes a valid point that airlines do sell time but I think he's missing a another point that this pilot seems to be going above and beyond for his company and passengers. He is right that it takes a lot of time to be that appreciative but sometimes it takes a good apple to make an...

*shakes head and rolls eyes*

Love the idea. Wish there were more seminars like that. Airport identifier needed though.

I would agree with something larger than a 172 for sure, if nothing else than comforts sake. I think if this is something you want to pursue then go for it with some understanding that you will come across airplane, weight and balance, and medical issues a lot. If it makes you feel better, I...

Gee Tony, when do I get a ride? :P Nice video! Using a car has got to be one of the cheapest ways to get a lap in the pattern. Sometimes I think the mustang has the same glide ratio. Hehe

Oh this one? :smilewinkgrin::smilewinkgrin:

Wow I think Spirit won this one!

Haha! Even better, Duncan Aviation. One of the leading aircraft maintenance companies. The one here has a new paint shop they are trying to brag about I think. The owner is really into odd art. He has an upside down sculpture of a house on his lawn and other various odd pieces. The last mustang...

This is the talk of Lincoln. At least you won't loose it! http://blog.duncanaviation.aero/Portals/10680/images/M2-blog.jpg

I think I could go to work and have meetings with Goofy, grumpy, and dopey. Don't need an expensive house for that! :P
