It's 60 degrees and sunny. I'm going flying! Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Yep I was here while the spin zone existed. I looked in and thought "what a zoo", I thought I came to PILOTS of America. Look, if I went to BOA (Basket Weaving of America) and started spouting off about how awesome it is to be a pilot and everyone should see it my way; I would wholly expect...

Yeah it's pretty nasty here in Chicago too. Will probably drive to breakfast instead of fly. :( Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Seriously... If you want to talk about politics and presidential stuff, no matter what happened to you and/or your family, realize there are a lot of forums that are geared around that and encourage that. Take it there. Its Ok. In fact several of us participate there. This one happens to be...

As a lot have said, you can do a lot of due diligence remotely with the assistance of some of the fine folks here, which I unfortunately didn't think of when I was buying. And don't forget there is another pilot on the selling side might be able to help. In my case, He was as interested in...

I got my PPL in September and bought mine in October. This is very specific to me and my personal psyche but I knew if I rented I would go crazy applying a financial and time equation to every flight and slowly get out of it because it would be cheaper or faster to drive each time. On the...

Good luck. I've flown in and drove in. While driving in is admittedly lower stress ( Being from Chicago -driving means I get to bring more stuff and it takes just as long), flying/camping is really quite an exciting and unforgettable experience! Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Yep. Fly more and keep practicing the your emergency procedures... You'll get that feeling less and less. I had a very similar conversation about 5 months after my PPL and about 100 hours in. The plane went in the shop for almost 2 months. I felt like I'd lost some nerve. I went over the...

Lol. Ed O'Neill will forever be Al Bundy to me too. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Look at the time fly! Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Oh me too. We still laugh about it. I'll have to show her the Lego. Something fun to so with the little one. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Cool. Looks like fun. Here was the first gift my wife got me after my PPL. My response was something like; "You got me a flaming airplane?!". She's got an interesting sense of humor. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

I did a post-Xmas flight to WI to visit some family. We are both off on Monday. No big plans like the keys but will probably go visit some family in MO, TN or WI. Kind of a tradition to go visit family the day after a holiday that couldn't make it home. Have fun! Sounds like a blast...

I suppose if you are having a holiday drink that could be the case... Interesting direction for a holiday drinks thread... :) Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Sounds interesting. I'll have to support your financial well being and give it a try if I can find it. In the past few years I've taken to a nice port around the holidays after dinner. Don't much know one from the other or maybe I'm just not that discriminating. :). And my post flight drink...

I did in the original post but realized it was a duplicate. Opened with something like Happy Christmas, Merry New Year, Cheery Chanukah or whatever works for you... I suppose some of us also enjoy holidays celebrating days of the week ending in d-a-y. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Oops... Missed this thread before just posting my holiday drink thread a few minutes ago. Here around the holidays I find a nice post dinner port to hit the spot. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Deleted. Duplicate thread.

Lol. See... We're all learning as we go. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Either works and I use both. More commonly I use option one so I can put more notes in the comments. The who's and why's along with the what's. No other good reason than that. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
