    Squatter

    can't imagine why. didn't want it exposed to the elements? Looks like a parts plane now.

    Did MAKG1 take his business elsewhere?

    With most of the pilots around here, that's not difficult. It's third base that causes a few eyebrows to rise.

    Under 30? FAA hiring controllers....

    Not me. Venture in to the office each morning, check my email, etc. An hour later a couple of cuties come by to get me to walk down to the cafeteria for breakfast. Back to my desk to check PoA, etc. A couple of hours later off to lunch. Then back to the office, the cafeteria really, to...

    Heli crash NYC

    Skill? Oh please. That's almost exactly how my first time trying to hold a hover went. :) That's the first time I've returned to pprune in several years. It's good to know many of the same folks are still there. Good people, too.

    Delta to the rescue!

    Shoot, I take delays and lost luggage with a grain of salt, as something that's just going to happen occasionally. My beef: My wife and 2 kids in line, only 1 check-in person at the counter and she' talking with the customer in front of us. After half an hour I walk up and start to explain...

    Delta to the rescue!

    I'm 54 years old and have made a lot of flights in my lifetime. Only one horrible experience by an airline, and it happened to be Delta. So bad that even ten years later I still keep hoping they go under.

    Heli crash NYC

    I think his point was...there's a label pertaining to entering clouds on a VFR aircraft.

    Sears/Craftsman $300 "Free" [NA]

    My wife and I were at the mall the other day. My first time there in quite a while. Got to the wing where Sears used to be and I told her how much I missed it. I'm still trying to figure out why and how Lampert thought he could make $ decimating the company. I can still get Craftsman tools...

    POAers you have flown with / met

    We're afraid you'd start talking. ;) I've met only two, one being a mod, although I wasn't on PoA at the time we met. There are very few pilots here I wouldn't want to meet. Now, if I was just on the invitation list to get-togethers....

    Pythagoras' Theorem

    This isn't the first time I've ventured to PoA only to leave feeling like a dummy.

    Facebook rant

    I don't know....don't see much difference between Hangar Talk and FB. * I see as many food pictures here as fb. The food looks better here though. * Not as many arguments around here since SZ was dissolved. That's one + for Hangar Talk. * I can say things here that I wouldn't say on fb...

    O-M-G!!!! He does still exist!

    The bigger question is...why would he like anything you posted? :)

    Was I being unreasonable?

    Now you need a new partnership.

    Visiting Midway Atoll

    60 Minutes had a segment on Midway recently. About all the plastic that's washing up with trapped sea life and birds. These views don't show any plastic on the beaches.

    Amazon says months!?!

    I'm glad to see a positive note about this. I read an article recently about Lowe's getting in on this too. I think it's great. Do you know how many times I make a trip to the store for just one or two items, then back to town for something I'd forgotten or didn't know I needed? Right now I...

    Mental health

    Someone having multiple addictions wouldn't surprise me. Nor would the part about smoking being the hard one to kick. I smoked half of one or two cigarettes in jr. high, but that was it. Never smoked pot or tried heavier drugs. I might drink a beer/wine twice a year. Ironically, my aversion...

    "just pay it forward"

    There's actually a whole lot more to the story but I wanted to keep it short. She told me that she went to a 10 year old Kia Optima with 150K miles, the cheapest car she could find. They urged her to get something nicer but she wouldn't do it. Runs great and still shines. And right now she's...

    "just pay it forward"

    Yes, I live in Columbia. I don't have a store...my daughter got a part-time job at Eagle Stop in Jeff City.
