Yeah now that I see the actual STAR, it’s expected altitudes so you won’t get “descend via…” Still poor phraseology. Should’ve gotten “cleared to Clearwater via the Bridge Nine Arrival, maintain (altitude).”

Well without a “maintain (altitude)” on the end of that, I’d comply with the altitudes on the STAR. They should’ve said “descend via the Bridge Nine Arrival” though.

Had to be flying right into the sun not to see that thing.

Disabled above 500 ft for terrain or less than 30 kts below 500 ft. Towers disabled above 250 ft.

Yeah I was thinking the same. Probably snuck out with friends / family before.

Almost 140 hrs and still no PPL? Sounds like he may have had a medical issue and just elected to continue training instead of calling it quits.

The stars at night are big and bright…

After those sign offs, the next program in the AM was two crooks selling this nonsense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritage_USA

Back in the day, malls used to be popular…and safe. The mall I went to as a kid looks like this now. Only 4 stores open.

Frown upside down made me think of another “back in the day.” We used to have huge toy stores including the one I used to work at.

I was watching the Blue Angel Imax special earlier this year and I noticed it’s pretty common for the ground crew (men & women) to have tats. Not really criticizing. It’s just an observation in the differences in culture today from when I was enlisted during the 90s.

I always thought it was interesting when my dad started working FSS back in the 70s, everyone at work wore slacks, a collared shirt and tie. Seemed like they all smoked too. When he retired in 98, the dress code was pretty much shorts and tshirt and hardly any of them smoked.

Don’t have a shadow box but have a love me wall behind my coin display. Really the only reason why I have it is because it’s in the aviation man cave and goes with the rest of my displays.

Saved all my money to buy a Grasshopper.

Oh, and at night after dinner…

Back in my day we played Atari, Rubik’s Cube, watched Air Wolf and had cool cars.

My brother had to explain to his son recently that he’s a veteran. Four years AF and honorable discharge. A lot of people mistakenly believe you either have to retire or have to serve in combat zone with the military. No on both accounts.

Fred North is kind of a legend in the helicopter stunt pilot industry.

Yeah stopped in to Houston area (Katy) once back in the mid 90s. Middle of summer and hot and humid. Horrible traffic. At the time my brother worked Sugarland tower. Guess they have a “big boy” tower now though.

Nope. Clean air, low humidity, cost of living, low crime. Yada yada yada. It’s funny, he can’t stand it when my dad brags about north GA but all I hear is how great Texas is. I’ve lived in 6 different states, I don’t get attached to any of them. I will say this, it seems like general aviation is...
