    Uber tipping?

    I thought cow-tipping was unique to Nebraska; I stand disabused of this now.

    This was a big mistake....

    Don't ask, don't tell

    C-130 has really changed or stock image fail

    Big deal. I've flown C-152.

    Water in Tank Emergency/Question

    A half gallon? Maybe a grizzly, but not "someone"

    Something I don't see everyday...

    Oh, I thought he was talking about the overcast sky. Thanks, Jack, for posting the kewl pic.

    Anyone have a recommended max altitude for babies?

    Sure, but imagine what he could have accomplished if you hadn't done that.

    What to do from here

    You can get married, or not get married, either way you'll regret it: Benjamin Franklin.

    What to do from here

    Kinda like re-loading (ammunition): It's not "cheaper," but you get more shooting (flying) for your money.

    OK. Another really dumb question

    I thought it was for "Obvious Pedophile."

    How do you thank a controller

    Hood conditions only; yellow post-its all over my panel, one engine caged, and a Lt Cl in the right seat (IP); but, believe me, it was a blast! " 50feet above glide slope, right of glide path, correcting; If you do not hear me transmit within five seconds, initiate missed approach..." (I call...

    How do you thank a controller

    They're well-compensated, no doubt. But who else do you want on the other end of the line when you're stuck in the goo looking for a safe way down? They get personally involved (and with the help of dedicated supervisors) and they go almost one-on one to resolve your emergency. You can't buy...

    How do you thank a controller

    I was thinking...a bunch of wine-in-a-box.

    Another humdinger of an accident report (spoiler: More THC!)

    I've done toxicology on exhumed cavemen; they were party animals! Depends on what you're looking for, mainly: some toxicants are short-lived, but many aren't. I can usually find a metabolite, but that's a tough one to give to a jury.

    How do you thank a controller

    It's hard to thank our partners on the ground enough. Maybe it's an often thankless job, but when you're talking with a final controller on your cellphone with no alternator or gyros in 100 and a 1/4 for a PAR, you really appreciate their calm cadence and professionalism (I've never been there...

    How do you thank a controller

    How absolutely kind of you to want to express your appreciation for the professional teamwork from ATC; they've pulled my butt out of the fire before. Call the facility, ask for a supervisor, give him your compliment, and ask that he/she pass it on to the controllers working your flight. Radar...

    Non-Equity Partner

    Don't bother taking any prisoners; truer words were never spoken. The difference, however, is that this "renter" has access to a non-fleet aircraft, and can, hopefully, cultivate a partner-like relationship in an aircraft without a huge cash outlay. The downside is a reality, of course, but...

    Non-Equity Partner

    Has worked wonderfully for me in two Bonanzas; it really is a glorified rental agreement (but more exclusive). The most important advice is to ensure that you're a "named insured" on the policy, rather than "named pilot." You have your hands on an enviable stewardship in a (hopefully) ongoing...
