    Hole at the North Pole

In seven years of Polar flying I would have seen it. Furthermore air traffic over the North Pole area is...

    What do birds do when the weather goes IFR?

    They stay where they're at and poop on your car while waiting for weather to clear.

    That Guy...

    How about the DOUCHE BAG that parks his non-electric car in front of the only charging station ? We call those guys "ICE-holes" !

    The $9k annual (and counting) with not much to show...

    I'm sorry to hear of your tribulations. I had similar experience with my Grumman Tiger and an A&P that reminded me of Jerry Seinfields car mechanic. Since then I've vowed to stay with experimentals and am much happier.

    Sadly this all could have been avoided had he only been on a flight plan and equipped with an AOA indicator !!!

    I could take you in my Cub. It's based at Boca. It'll only take us 10.5 hours ! The view from 500 feet agl will be spectacular ! We can even leave the door open if you want - no extra charge.

    Thinking About a Guinea Fowl

    My wife's second cousin has a flock of about 8 or 9 on her farm down in Brazil. They do cut down on ticks but it comes at a price - the constant clucking.

    Cheapest way to commute via plane

    I have about an 800nm weekly commute to work. It costs me 0 dollars to do this ! I generally work 3 days on 4 days off. Except of course when I have vacation.

    Cirrus, Media, Perceptions, Their Success

    I don't know about the VisionJet for a non-pilot first airplane. As a CFI it would feel kind of weird signing off a guy for his initial solo - "Ok, I'm gonna hop out now. Give me two good touch and gos and make the last one a full stop. Oh, and try to keep it under 250kts please" !!!

    A-10 replacement

    It's sort of like the old argument with the AH-64 - for the cost of one Apache I could get 4 armed MH-6s. Not as technologically advanced as the 64 nor as much protection but I could inundate the battlefield with them and win thru sheer numbers.

    ADM sanity check (VFR over the top)

    And you've done this while running an engine failure checklist and simultaneously managing the fear of how far is the base of this cloud layer from the ground and I wonder what kind of terrain I'm over ?
