What a naive response.

Got it.

Not only is Chicago a large city, it is a dangerous one. Link below is the list of the cities with the highest murder rate per capita in the US. Chicago is #10. https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-city-rankings/cities-with-most-murders That’s quite an accomplishment given its large...

Not weird at all. On point and hilarious actually. Perhaps you know less about Chicago than livestock. Here’s a resource created to educate people like you: https://heyjackass.com/ Consider doing a walking tour of the entire city next time you visit and report back.

News reports saying balloon was shot down by an AIM-9 sidewinder missile. Question for POA members with knowledge of such things; would a balloon present an adequate IR source for a sidewinder to lock on and guide to? Separately, would a balloon possess a large enough mass for the missile’s...

LOL! Normally I think the same thing about Hindsight2020's posts.

I'm interested to hear what Concur alternatives you prefer? I've looked, and not found a better expense reporting app, but I'm open minded about better alternatives.

Ok, I’ll bite. What is incorrect about asking, “any traffic in the pattern to please advise?”

Yes. It’s a powerful tool. And that’s likely an understatement.

Same boat. And the services and experience have gotten worse since COVID.

I was surprised to see the pilot eject when the plane was (to my non-expert eyes) already on the ground and coming to a rest. I would have thought at that moment, the risk of injury from an ejection would have called for another course of action - i.e. climb down and run away.

Thank you for providing this context and advice. And for making the post. Very helpful and informative.

Posts like this scare me away from pursuing an IFR rating.

Second this suggestion.

My anecdotal observation is that prices for large ticket items such as businesses, real estate (residential and commercial), and automobiles have indeed begun declining in price. But airplanes (personally owned piston) have not. I don’t pay attention to boats and am curious how pricing is...

Please disclose the shop and mechanic.

THAT makes sense to me. I wasn’t taking into consideration that turboprop planes have many more blades than their piston powered counterparts. Thank you.

Thanks for the informative replies. I understand how constant speed props work. I just didn’t realize that the higher AOA enabled by the more powerful engine was the sole reason for the much faster airspeeds in turboprops.

Good morning POA. I’m trying to better understand how the higher horsepower engines in turboprops translate to higher airspeed. On the one hand it seems obvious that (for purposes of discussion) doubling horsepower would yield higher airspeed. However, propeller speeds are limited...

Thank you for the alternative route. It looks to be shorter.
