    Favorite aerial pics that you have ever shot YOURSELF

    I love thunderstorms as long as I'm not in them. This is somewhere between Texas and Georgia last summer in the C510. There was some awesome cloud to ground lightening. We made sure to give it plenty of space.

    Favorite aerial pics that you have ever shot YOURSELF

    A few years ago, the CFIs got an opportunity to fly along with the ANG during refueling practice. Talk about a cool experience!

    An idiot

    It can also depend on if you're flying Part 91 or 135. They're not as nice to the guys flying 135. 135 pilots are geniuses, have all the regs memorized and are completely situationaly aware. They never make mistakes...yea right.

    Cessna Mustang vs. TBM 850

    Wait...a G1000 is not capable enough for the mustang?? It works great to me. In my opinion learning to fly the mustang was a lot easier than the King Air. You just have to remember its easier to over speed and its temp and weight sensitive. The hair dryers on the back only do so much but I like...

    My ladyfriend smells like smoked meats

    Oh yea totally! Because there's so many other David Whites that are pilots with her picture that lives with Jesse. I'm convinced...

    My ladyfriend smells like smoked meats

    Now that's funny! :D You better hope she doesn't get bored one day and start googling you. If it seriously bothers you, you have to talk to her about it in a serious manner. I would think a shower and different clothes will work and most girls will be sensitive to it. Hate to say it though...

    Flying in Canada

    We were just outside of ORD at FL400. An airliner called center asking how the airport was looking and they replied that it was closed. I felt bad for the pax as the pilots got a clearance for Detroit. I watched the news tonight and there were tornadoes in the exact bands we flew over. Detroit...

    Flying in Canada

    Well we survived Canada! Customs wasn't as much of a pain as the horror stories say. We got a clearance direct to the field in CYYZ and then had to clear customs in Detroit. Other than waiting for 20min due to lack of staffing, he was pleasant to talk to. The FBO was right under the flight path...

    Flying in Canada

    Thanks Jason. Most of what you mentioned is on a checklist we have so I'll be working with the captain before we go. They called our declaration form an E311 form, is that the same thing? I'm glad you mentioned that since I wasn't sure if that's something we had to turn in to someone before the...

    Flying in Canada

    All I can think of is the guy from Grown Ups. "I'm from Saskatchatoon, eh?" I can't help laughing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcuwBW3t-ow

    Flying in Canada

    I'm scheduled for my first trip to Canada this weekend. We're going into Toronto International. It'll be part 135 and I'll have another pilot with me but it'd still be a good idea to know what I'm up against. What are some major differences and things to look out for?

    135 Pay Scales

    I make over $5 and less than a million as an SIC. I hope this helps. :P I'm agreeing with some statements. I know within my company how the pay scale works but you're going to have a hard time getting people to admit how much they make. Someone is bound to get jealous or let the cat out of the...

    Engine Surging

    I fly an old 182 on occasion. I have no problems with it except for one question. Upon climbing through about 9,500 the engine will surge on occasion. It's not a constant thing, just every now and then. It hasn't gotten any worse and there are no others symptoms that I've noticed. I thought...

    Why????

    Well I'm sure there's a lot of PPs and many of them are certifiable so it's probably a good idea not to get CPPs mixed up with PPCs. People get confused easy. So they came up with PPL. :P In reality, we all know they're not licenses. They're certificates. It's just sometimes a bad habit and...
