Wow! Why all the hate? I have a couple thousand hours in ultralights, and have experience several forced landings. NBD! You plan for it, expect it, and live to fly another day. I nearly feel sorry for those of us who’ve never experienced this wonderful type of flight, you don’t know what...

Okay, I think I see where your coming from. I wasn't aware that a vet could receive 100% disability and work full time too. I retired from the Army in 98, and don't recall any attempt to encourage me to claim disability. I suppose that's changed. I then went on to serve 18 years in federal...

You folks seem to think a VA disability rating results in extra cash, not always so. I have a small va rating after 21 years of service, I receive no additional money. That Disability part of my military retirement is tax free, a very small amount. Let’s not get too carried away with the...

Thanks for that, my wife is still laughing! I missed that when it aired, did SNL do any more of those? The stories I could tell you about married life with vast age differences is pure comedy. Dave

Now that wins the chicken Dinner.

Yep, that's my wife folks, every day's a blessing, and she loves to fly. I go on medicare next march, she's 35. We do get the stares when out. Dave

Folks often presume I'm my wife's father, awkward at times, but we just laugh and carry on.

I wasn't aware of that, thanks. My original iPad mini is on it's last legs, need to do something.

Not as typical as you may think. My wife is half my age, and I'm living on two pensions. Sometimes Life throws us curveballs, pleasant ones.

I,m thinking about using the new iPhone Max. Screen size is sufficient for yoke mount I think, thoughts? Dave

Still waiting for them to find Jimmy Hoffa.

Yes, received permission on many occasions through Cherokee Control for 5107B. I was however a federal officer, working for the Army. There may still be a transition route east-west to the corridor separating 5103 and 5107, it was called Blue Water transition. Haven’t requested it in a few...

That's a pup, still young and stupid. See them everyday while riding horses, quite entertaining. Dave

Was with a friend flying through a MOA in our ultralights once, were passed by a couple B-2's about 2K feet below us. I carry a slingshot and a bag of marbles with me now, just in case. Can hardly get anywhere around here without flying through one or more. Dave

Probably the first socially redeeming action of his life. So many more to go. Dave

Been running 2003 6 liter F250 since new. 376k on it now, original heads and turbo. I pull a horse trailer often, and a flatbed for my helicopter. Did the EGR delete some time ago, no issue with codes. Had the regular expected maintenance done over the years, injectors, high pressure oil...

I saw a beaver.

I've flown a couple thousand hours in front of Rotax 2-strokes, never had an engine out. I can't say that about my O-360. Dave

I've owned my C175b for 17 years now. I never keep records of what it costs. I do 90% of the maintenance myself under the guidance of my IA. Having my plane available when I want it, the way I last left it, is priceless. I say go for it, your only getting older. Dave
