Congrats! Something you'll remember forever! Why not?! Tradition, man!!

I was speaking to a pilot friend last night who moved about 50 or so miles away a few months ago. He did all of his initial training at the same airport and with the same instructor as I did - and we both consider him a friend. That airport was about 15 minutes away from home, but was still the...

I've heard Santa Fe is quite a treat from a few folks. They do say that it's about the journey, not the destination, right? Since I'd most likely be flying with my girlfriend and maybe a kid or two, an overnight there would probably be a heck of a treat for everyone.

I figured there was a lot to be considered, especially considering my lack of experience in higher terrain. I'm pretty familiar with the anemic performance provided at higher altitudes in this plane in higher DA temps. I cruised at 9,500 on my last XC on what is a high DA for my neck of the...

Ah - good advice. Thanks! I assume you mean this to be due to being under-powered?

Thanks for posting! Nice video (and editing)!

/swiftly removes all my content from YT :biggrin:

Yeah - I should probably recant my earlier (and previously admittedly wild) speculation about NORDO aircraft. Incredibly unfortunate and sad all the way around.

I'd bet that's a good call. I'd also speculate extremely wildly that one was NORDO - although, I don't like to speculate much at all. RIP to all.

I'm fairly certain the here in OK, at least, it's still illegal to drive with headphones on.

The ANR should work without being plugged into anything - but I can imagine you'd get a few looks from passers-by while wearing an aviation headset while driving!

This one was pretty good!

I'm willing to bet nothing would have helped at that low of an altitude.

One of my cousins moved to Pagosa Springs, CO recently and would like me to pay a visit sometime. I've been playing around with planning this trip on a hypothetical level, although nothing is close to solid at this point. I'd likely be making this trip from Stillwater, OK (SWO) in a 172M with a...

Was going to suggest the Aloft for you, as that's where I'll always stay when I go to Tulsa. Being right across from the venue is a big plus and a very easy walk to BOK; smooth check-in, etc. Plus, the bar at the hotel mixes up some good drinks if you care to partake in some before or after the...

That's one I'll second! :thumbsup:

"Informative" is fine - so long as I can't figure out what your plate is informing me of by simply looking at the badges on your car. I don't mind vanity plates at all. Don't tell me your car is ACTUALLY yours on the vanity plate. I already assume it's yours. However, the best plate I ever saw...

Thank you! I'll take "professional looking" as a compliment! It looks like you have a ton of informative repair stuff on yours. I do have to say that your earliest one of a flight looked BONE CHILLING cold!!

@korben88 - Very nice! My peeve mainly concerns newer cars that are badged all to hell, or whereby no one really cares that you're driving an '08 Kia. Classic stuff doesn't bug me nearly as much. Nor would your Flex's tag, @FastEddieB!

I'm not well-versed in motorcycle vernacular, so I'd have to say no! :biggrin:
