    What is a pilots license for?

    "Don't annoy the crazy person, you're just jealous the voices talk to me!" ...until you fly out of ATC's airspace. I don't know much about flying ultralights but I'm sure you still get some sort of flight training or at least you should. I've met some at EAA meetings that didn't. Those worry...

    What is a pilots license for?

    If flying defines me as crazy, I wouldn't want to be any other way!! Also, it is true that loosing a medical is a risk you have to take but considering there's thousands of pilots out there taking that risk, it must be worth it. However, if you are worried, there is sport where you don't need...

    What is a pilots license for?

    Once you have your pilot's certificate, you'll have it for life. Can't say the same about a boat. The same questions apply to people that have boats though. Why do you want a boat? My mom has a boat and it was a ton of fun growing up. We created a lot of memories with it. Flying is very much the...

    No more Skycatchers

    Well that was short lived. The flight school here has one of the 195. I still think they will eventually have a lack of parts and cause issues for owners. I have hundreds of hours in one and think they're good airplanes to learn in but can have some disadvantages too. I'm curious to know what...

    Trolling for Dr. Bruce, trolling for Dr. Bruce...

    I'm sure I'll die one day but I can't see myself being a vegetarian. I love steak and seafood too much. I don't think it's healthy for anyone under any circumstances to eat at burger king every day or not get out and walk once in a while but one on occasion isn't going to kill you unless you...

    Would Driver's License Medical Affect How Often You Consult a Doctor?

    It wouldn't change a bit for me considering I do it for compensation. I hate going to the doctor and I've told my doctor that. Every time I talk to her she has the power to take away my job and everything I've ever worked for. I honestly have to say I'm afraid of doctors because of this and...

    Advice needed - inherited airplane

    N35 seems right on the money. I can see that it'd be real easy to get taken by someone who thinks you're easy cash. Brokers will have their fees but they can also get planes out from underneath you quicker if you're unfamiliar with the process. Barnstormers has been around for forever too. It...

    Need advice for learning to fly

    I don't think buying the skimmer is completely bad exactly but I think you should consider what you're up against. Owning an airplane is a big deal and a commitment in many ways. Money is of course a huge one and $45k isn't getting you anywhere. Buying the plane is the cheapest part so before...

    A Couple Of "Get To Know You" Questions...

    This reminds me of the A/S/L thing we used to do on chat. Age: 28 Occupation: First officer, part 135 charter with a BS from Oklahoma State Hours: 2800ish, Mainly Cessnas, King Airs and the Mustang (yea I know it's a cessna), bits in others such as Cherokees and I love to hang glide but it's...

    Which Denver area FBO recommended?

    We took the Mustang to Xjet for 2 nights. They took good care of it and had the rental cars for both pax and crew ready on arrival. I don't remember if we had it hangered or not. It was May so I couldn't tell you that part. They had our ETD so it was ready for us when we arrived back at the...

    135 ops ???????

    Students can be entertaining enough. I don't think being tipsy is going to help the situation. I personally wouldn't want anyone up front that's drinking. That's all I need is a good bump and me and the whole plane smelling funny along with a passenger having access to the controls.

    Personal Attacks

    I don't know what you guys are talking about. I'm a genius and a natural born aviatrix and I just want to share it with the world. I don't know what's wrong with the rest of you. :P :D

    Tulsa, OK info needed...

    Riverside is a good choice. TUL isn't bad, but they do have a lot of it closed so taxi can be a hassle. Watch out for trainers at Riverside, it can be a busy place.

    Flight Planning survey

    Hey guys, Our Director of Operations is creating a flight planning tool designed to make the routes/altitudes etc more financially feasible. For example, we are taught that for every minute extra in the Mustang, we spend X amount of dollars towards the owner (since we lease it) and compare...
