    Copy that order!

    LOL. I have come very close to doing that before. Also, I have been guilty of driving on I70 and upon seeing the denver city lights, wondering what the altitude was and looking down to see if I could find an altimeter in my car. Derp.

    Career change: programming / IT questions

    Thanks for the suggestions... That right there would pretty much kill my interest, as in demand as the skills set is... More up my line of interest would be the mobile application development, possibly web development also. One thing is that if I continue my existing business for any...

    Career change: programming / IT questions

    I wanted to get some advice from those here, as I know quite a few of you are in IT related careers. Prior to working 15 years in health care, I was going to school for computer programming. The short story is, I took an EMT course and managed to get myself off track. :wink2: Fast forward...

    Rentals on XC flights: is faster actually cheaper?

    Agreed, but my focus in strictly on rentals. Ownership is a very unlikely option for me.

    Rentals on XC flights: is faster actually cheaper?

    I have access to a number of different rentals, ranging from $70 - $145 hour at one airport, plus a second airport with many more that range from $99-150+. I have the fortunate situation of not having to worry about having an aircraft to fly in most cases. The bigger issue for me is...

    Buying an airplane...

    Not even close. Oh well. I'm flying a 182RG back to MN in a couple weeks, so I'll get my fix then. The school has it on special for only $129/hr this month; I was all over it.

    Buying an airplane...

    Thanks for the input everyone. I am going to follow the advise I've received and pass on this one. It very well may be that this isn't a bad deal, and the seller appears to be good to work with. It is not really a good choice for a first aircraft, and the costs of trying to work things out from...

    Buying an airplane...

    Thanks. I thought about that question. About 80% of my flying is solo XC in VMC flying to lower altitudes. The ideal plane for me would be a 182RG, but the extra cost to get that capability isn't needed for the average flight that I do. I fly IFR but not really IMC. I want the ability to...

    Buying an airplane...

    Agreed. I'm aware it is a higher time engine. My thought is that there are many, many examples of engines going well past TBO. Additionally, if the engine did require an overhaul I'm likely going to get a mid-time engine and swap them out. This plane is just one possibility. There's a...

    Buying an airplane...

    Thanks. That is the next thing, he gave me the phone number of his A&P. I've read that is not a good idea, so I'm going to look for others. It is based out of a fairly small airport, so I'm concerned options may be limited...
