    Bogus invoice from KSMO

    Well, if they're using ADS-B, there are only two possible explanations for this error. Either it's a human data entry error, or somebody out there knows how to spoof ADS-B. I checked Flightaware.com and it has no record of my tail number going back years. That's because I never file and almost...

    Bogus invoice from KSMO

    I did call them on Thursday. They were nice on the phone and said they would contact Santa Monica and check with them and get back to me about what they say. So far no response. They said they would both email and mail out the resolution.

    Bogus invoice from KSMO

    Am I whining? Is that what I'm doing? Would you just pay them their $10? Is that what you would do?

    Bogus invoice from KSMO

    Thanks all for the replies. I tried to call them today but didn't realize they were on the east coast, so missed their hours by an hour. I will call tomorrow and see how it goes...

    Bogus invoice from KSMO

    Anybody else ever get an invoice for a landing at Santa Monica that they never made? I just received an invoice from Vector Airport Systems claiming that my airplane made a landing at KSMO on 1/7/20 and the reality is, my airplane has never been to that airport in the last 10 1/2 years I've...

    Worst/best drivers by state

    I imagine most of the people responding here are the worst drivers. Lots of over confidence. You can tell by al the folks trying to explain why they are better then average. (The key is to look for those complaining about slow drivers. That is the huge red flag and tells you all you need to know.)

    Using descriptors instead of N number

    You're of German ancestry aren't you? Somehow buttholes and poop sprang to mind. Anyhow, I'll be sure to include my full call sign from now on so you can make me out from the hundreds of white Cessnas in your local pattern. :rolleyes:

    Using descriptors instead of N number

    Isn't their position reports sufficient and a good enough indicator of multiple aircraft? It's the position report that really matters.

    Thanks for the disgusting post. :rolleyes: You didn't answer my question though...

    Using descriptors instead of N number

    In the case of the bunch of white Cessnas, how does the use of your call sign aid anybody? This is why you include the secondary color and even if you can't make out different colors (often the case) you can make out Cessna. N123AB means nothing to anybody but you. Ultimately, the position...

    Using descriptors instead of N number

    Other than when you're taxiing on the ground, when in the world is your unique identifier of any use to anyone in the air at an uncontrolled field? Nobody can read it, so it means nothing. Type of aircraft and sometimes colors can be identified. At an uncontrolled field I always use "Yellow...

    The wife found a stiffy this morning...

    You know, all I'm going to say is, they died doing what they loved. How awesome is that??

    Worst/best drivers by state

    I have driven in a majority of the states and I can say- The best drivers are in the state of Canada. The worst drivers are in the state of Lower 48. Most of America has lost it's mind.

    Electric Airplanes?

    We can choose to find things that are tailored to our individual bias or listen to the scientists instead of an editorial on an investment website who's tag line is- "No hidden agenda: Get news from a pro-free market, pro growth perspective.". Since this investor editorial decided to pick and...

    Electric Airplanes?

    Like hyperbole much?? Since it's "massive", why not make it 3x, or 10x as much? Hell, if you really want to scare people, make it 100 TIMES AS MUCH!!!! Agggghhh! :rolleyes: Never mind the cost of paying more and more for insurance each year as ever increasing devastation is caused by hurricanes...

    Electric Airplanes?

    Yes, exactly. Why in the world are we sitting over in the Persian Gulf with a whole battle group guarding the Strait of Hormuz, 24/7 again?? Oh... that's right, protecting "American interests" and aiding our "allies". BS! It's about keeping that sweet cheap crude flowing on the taxpayer dime.

    Electric Airplanes?

    Nothing wrong with wind turbines, solar panels and battery banks. However they can't provide the power levels we need now fast enough. Nuclear can. Sadly, a great number of Americans are terrified of nuclear power and another great number of Americans emotionally wedded and financially involved...

    Electric Airplanes?

    We have all the "current technology" we need to both provide additional power for the future and greatly reduce carbon emissions. Today. Right now. One word- nuclear. We need to stop being deniers and we need to stop being ******* and get onboard with the 21st century.

    Electric Airplanes?

    By enlarge, I agree with you. We aren't very good at large scale public works anymore. However, there is Elon Musk. An American billionaire with a vision. He thinks big and he talks big. His record of accomplishments exceed his record of failure. His timeline estimates are mostly ludicrous, but...

    Tesla Model 3 - Now I get the hype.

    Do it!! You will not regret it and you will say that it's the best car you ever owned. I say this not as a Tesla fan, as I have never even driven one and have no plans to buy one, but as and electric car fan. I have not drunk the Tesla branded Kool-Aid, but I have swilled the more plebeian BEV...
