    Wow. Somebody needs to kill more cows.

    Yep Geico is right on. I raise cattle and they are at all time highs because of the reasons he stated.

    Will the iPhone in general become or already is the best selling smartphone?

    These arguments have been around since apple was born. In the end it's the consumer who determines the winner. Pure and simple.

    Will the iPhone in general become or already is the best selling smartphone?

    My last 2 computers were macs. Each lasted 5 years with no problems. Not one time did I take either to a computer shop. I've had several models of iPods/iPhones and although I've replaced the screens on a couple they have never stopped working. I buy apple because I don't have time to screw...

    Las Cruces Cessna 421 crash - wrong fuel

    I remember it happening once when I worked the line back in the 90s. Not our airport but it was close enough that it stuck in my brain. A Navajo topped with jet fuel. Thy went down in a corn field off the end of the runway. Everyone survived that one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Getting back into currency - refresher training?

    I stopped flying around 1995 with 500 hours. Started back up a 2 years ago and it took just a couple flights to get current enough to be signed off. Biggest challenge? Learning the Garmin 430. Not even close to figuring that thing out. Give me my needle and I'm good. Sent from my iPhone...

    Plane crash at my home airport today

    Those aren't Cessna 150/152s. I see what you are saying and you're right in that mismanagement of flaps has killed people and it's possible/downright easy to fly a Cessna 150 without flaps. However if you fly in a Cessna 150/152 for your ppl check ride and the DPE says "show me a short field...

    Plane crash at my home airport today

    Pretty hard to teach short field landings to students with the flaps selector wired up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dumb mistakes.

    I did not know that. What happens when the passenger is a CFI and is in charge of making radio calls and the student won't shut up? There is no way of reversing priority on the intercom? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Please report your position accurately! I want to live!

    I was shooting an approach into KGRI under the hood when a citation jet reported in "Grand Island tower citation Xxxx over the river inbound for landing with delta". Tower responded "sir the river stretches from one horizon to the other. You need to do better than that. Where are you?" The...

    Recording Flights

    I've been recording both the audio and video using a go-pro. I find the audio valuable in that I can go back and listen to myself trying to explain something to a passenger/student. You can critique your teaching methods that way. Sometimes something I say in the airplane made sense when I...

    Who knew flying airplanes is a chic magnet

    +1 I remember having a "thing" for a Norwegian foreign exchange student in college. Asked to take her up flying as I thought she had a thing for me too. Flying around I felt pretty much like Tom Cruise impressing the ladies until I looked over and saw she was asleep. She slept all the way...

    I don't get minecraft

    Ok I'm getting it now. Those are some cool pictures. What I see from my boy who's in 5th grade is a huge brick that gets blown apart by dynamite. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I don't get minecraft

    My son plays it. I'd like to know why it's so popular too. Graphics suck and all it looks like all you do is run around hitting blocks with a hammer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Safe to take a pregnant lady flying?

    I'd be careful. The pressure change on climb out can make the baby pop out.
