    What do you say on radio if you're flying a rare plane?

    I don't know about rare planes, but as a Helicopter pilot I always say, "Wobbly Thing 123ST"

    Finger (123.4) and Fingers (123.45)

    Jim, I feel for you but this is not as clear cut as you'd like it to be. This deserves a bit of clarification. Every operator of an aircraft within the US is 'LICENSED' to use every frequency within the aviation band. Whether that licensed operator is using an individual frequency within...

    If you think that song is messed up, try to understand the closing theme song to WKRP in Cincinnati. There's not enough drugs made to help with that.

    Which drug do I need to be doing...

    Who's Bruce? That song was by Manfred Mann! I remember it well from high school. EDIT: Wow, I just researched it and found that the song was written and recorded by Bruce Springsteen. I never knew that. So, you're never too old to learn. Thank you for teaching me something new today.

    but money! Just like tennis shoes and Tv's somehow makes up for the murder of George Floyd, suing for money makes up for the death of your loved one.

    Becoming a pilot in today’s industry

    Think about that. There's a reason some employers would love to hire pilots/mechanics. They only have pay one employee. Regardless of FAA regs and duty times and common sense, the type of employers who are looking to hire pilots/mechanics, WILL do everything possible to take as much...

    When You Get Up Before Six...

    I do miss when comedians were funny without the use of any vulgarities. Most comedians today can't even open their mouths without a slew of foul words pouring out, and most of them aren't even funny anyway. It's like their jokes are so weak they need that extra 'shock' point just to get a...

    Runway closed, can I take off on taxiway

    I have landed on many roads across the country many times. As a matter of fact, growing up we used to land on the road in front of our house and tie the plane down in our front yard. We did this from the early 70s until the mid 90s when I moved away. The FAA does not control where you land...

    Trying not to be discouraged

    Don't worry Greg, you could never possibly be as hard on yourself as some of us here can be on you. So keep this in context... 5 years ago you had 15 TOTAL HOURS of flight time. At that stage of the game, that is not enough to have engrained much of anything in you. You have no real...

    I know of no 10 solo 'training' requirement. Maybe you mean the 10 hour solo fight time requirement?

    Mark, I taught a little 5'4 110 lb Alaska girl from 0 time through Private pilot all in a C-185. It doesn't matter what you learn in. What matters is your willingness and ability to learn, and your instructors willingness and ability to teach.

    Base to final turn, overshoot final, now what?

    That was Bob Hoover. He'd put it on one wheel, pull up, roll, and put it back down on the other wheel.
