    How often do you get a hold while IFR?

    If you were ever based in a New York area airport that's just an average summer day !

    Summer land Key FD51

    I almost bought a house there back in 1999. Coulda shoulda woulda !!!! I bought up in Key Largo instead and still did very well money-wise. With the exception of Key West living in the other Keys is definitely an acquired taste. Not for your average American suburbanite for sure. There's little...

    Searey amphibian

    Yeah but - I can find a used Searey C-hull for a lot less than a Seamax. Searey factory is in the same state as me and I think the Seamax is made in Brazil IIRC. I'm planning on getting a Searey to have for my general purpose low and slow farting around airplane. When I retire I plan on adding...

    Viking Aircraft Engines, thoughts? (Honda piston AE?)

    Heck I'd even take out the seats and do some critter runs for you.

    I will ALWAYS lie to my enemies - and do so with great pride.

    It's not only happening in part 121 operations it also happens in the military as well. I'm sure you've probably seen very obese airline pilots walking around the terminal - do you really think they're the picture of health ? You can call what ever you like but it's a battle against a system...

    Guess what Virginia - if everyone were totally honest on that FAA medical the major airlines would not be able to operate a scheduled service ! That's no BS either. Forgetfulness is not a lie.

    Viking Aircraft Engines, thoughts? (Honda piston AE?)

    Dang Teddy - I'm jealous ! That piston version with some FIKI would be my go to dream ship if I ever tripped over a million bucks. Reason being - I could afford to put gas in it and with the repairmans certificate in my pocket I could afford the maintenance. The BRS part is a plus as well.

    How often do you get a hold while IFR?

    There are several STARs into Heathrow and Gatwick over in the U of K that terminate with a hold - meaning unless cleared otherwise if your routing contains that STAR you might as well build the hold because you're very likely (95%) getting it.

    Let's just forget to mention this Med since you're not currently taking it. Remember as you're filling out the medical form it's not about "Oh, look at me, why yes I think I've had that". It's more "What's that ? Never heard of it".

    4 place experimentals

    I've asked Vans - they are not aware of any way to do that. They say you would loose the canopy. On the Tiger the canopy slides forward and closes itself as you accelerate.

    things you do as a pilot

    I've never been a fan of weekends off. Everybody else has them off and nothing is open to get any important errands done.

    things you do as a pilot

    I tend to not know what day of the week it is since that has no real meaning to me anymore. I just have a rough idea of when I have to go back - right now that's June 10th.

    Plus, you can't climb out with the canopy open in the Vans. That's a nice feature on a hot day. I really wish Vans would fix that.

    Southwest is up next

    I don't know -'word from the rumor mill is that he only got 1 million dollars. He and his lawyer sat down with about 5 UAL lawyers and they offered him a one time deal. If he didn't take the deal they profiled how they would ultimately find a way to air out his less than stellar past to the...
