    new pilot request help

    Not tonight. You are already at a strange airport, out of gas for whatever reason, doing a cross-country. The last thing you need to do is get back into that plane tonight. Things will work out, you will get some gas, and you can continue in the light of day. Safely.

    New 2020 G6 Cirrus

    I like it but what do I know. It's the convergence of technology into something that has been around since the Wright Brothers. Every little bit seems like a gimmick but put them all together and you have a nice package. It's the same thing that Tesla is doing and I believe it will eventually...

    Another rent vs buy for PPL...

    One last point. Make sure the weight of you, your CFI(s), and fully loaded fuel, extras you will be carrying, will work for the plane you intend on buying.

    Daily Pic

    I like how you can see how the wings wobbled back and forth in the field. A little surprised that one didn't catch and spin it.

    White Castle

    I am from Miami and they had Royal Castle, a Miami-based chain before Burger King. I grew up eating at Royal Castle and when I tried White Castle there was a notioceable difference in taste. Not sure, today, what made them so different, but they were fantastic as a kid.

    Finally , NTSB Returned my Video

    I say don't post it now. Based on your initial statement, and plain old human psychology, you "relived" the accident and it brought up issues you had just started to put away, or had not even begun to process yet. That's normal. Reevaluate this in a year, or two...or ten, and see if there is...

    Finally got that twin I've been searching for

    I remember playing with that, or something very close to that, when I was younger. I always crashed when the props stopped spinning.

    How they do it in Mogadishu

    If this happened at a US airport I guess there would have been a different discussion after landing.

    Warrior Down Vero Beach

    It it wrong to want this to be the fault of the aircraft and not the student. However I also guess the CFI will be up for questioning as well.

    Fighter jets scrambled over DC

    I wonder what the difference would be, on radar, between birds and a flock of drones, like in the movie, Angel Has Fallen.
