Yes, you do, or you wouldn't have written it. Things like this are always emotional knee-jerk reactions. The thing that would really limit airplane accidents is mandatory scrapping of all airplanes. Think of the children.

head up the road a bit to mcpherson and we'll put you to work on the farm

I guess there were lots of techniques, I tended to fly them as a sort of elliptical holding pattern getting lower as you approach the station, then climbing as you get further away, but with no formal "approach" vs "missed approach"

central africa. They also had DME-only approaches with no course guidance, something I assumed was normal at the time.

Not an old timer, rather i'm gen-x, but yes i've flown them when i started flying ~1990

if you're a farmer or small business owner you can get there pretty quickly

Thanks, I thought it was a good deal and maybe someday as more NDB's get turned off it will be worthwhile, but I have to say that for flying around in the midwest US even that amount is a waste as far as actually enabling trips, getting better routings, etc. it just doesn't make any difference...

mine are in cardboard boxes on a shelf in the hangar. The boxes have written in black marker "Beechcraft logs", "Piper Logs", etc. I'd guess a highly trained government investigator may be able to locate them with some effort.

I think it's a place that sells chickens

I did a few years ago, a 300, no XL. Got the radio for about $1200, another $800 for an indicator and annunciator, messed around on the installation myself and and horsetraded for a sign-off of it. Yes it's an antique but i went from /A to /G for <$2500 which seems like a good deal to me.

Let's keep it in perspective. If generic county, TX gets expensive, people will land in the adjacent county. It's pretty much the same thing.

I would say the opposite. Businesses are run by people who know the business. They learn the business by working in a job that requires skills. The skills start with a degree in something needed by the business. That's not a degree in business.

Gander mountain?

of those 2, go for psychology. I've flown with lots of pilots for whom I wished I had a psychologist handy.

BMW's are excellent and i think you should buy one. Or two. (since i used to work in engineering there and still am sitting on some stock options)

I'd start with step one: look out the window, the thing that's above the ipad and garmin G19000

I'll spend lots of $$ and time to shoot some food in the woods vs going to the local butcher. I'll spend lots of $$ and countless hours all summer tending a garden to yield enough peas and tomatoes for maybe 3 meals. We have more $$ in airplanes than in our house. Check, check, and...

Don't know what specific concern you have, but to offer a general observation, many people tend to do too much steering. Whether you're driving a tractor, boat, horse, or airplane, less is more when it comes to control inputs. In the case of an airplane tracking a radial, make a small course...

I insist on a reliable battery in my airplane so I use the dry-cell SBS-J-16 However, I did find a use for the old gill battery, here's a photo.

I'd guess it's more about the crowd being able to hear him without a din of press helicopters.
