Well they partially blew smoke up your ***. This is precisely why US states should have NOT been granted the ability to issue official documents that identify nationality. I’ve seen a Michigan EDL (enhanced driver license) that that issued to a 100% foreign national by ERROR. The DMV nitwit...

I worked several years for a large agency that deals with intl travellers. I never gave or saw anyone give a rats a** about DL’s that have that oddball “not for Federal ID purposes”. The others here are mostly correct - the states do that so they can continue to issue ID cards that do not meet...

Redbird FMX full motion Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) count toward your IFR minimums (I think up to 20 if not at a aviation school). There is an aviation museum in Sheboygan WI that charges $25/hr. You can shoot a ton of approaches in one hour of sim versus real life. Redbird’s web...

I thought I’ve read otherwise regarding whether or not the insurance company would pay for an overhaul, etc. I’m trying to think of the specifics but I believe there are situations where they won’t pay for certain things. It’s good to know our coverage limits and when the ins company will give...

Did they land on a grass runway or was that some random field? Would you have continued to the nearest airfield or performed an emergency landing?

It’s a trade off between sacrificing value for convenience. If you are wealthy (have enough where you can’t spend it fast enough) then have at it. There are many people like this. Lots of people have saved up so much money during their life that they have never considered to “enjoy” it before...

Mine was just IRAN’d after 18 years and about 1200 hours. Hartzell 3-blade. Had 18 years worth of grease injected at annuals etc. Current A&P accidentally overserviced it with grease so we decided to send it in. Stallings Propeller looked it over good. No damage or corrosion. Apparently not...

Start buying up property in suburban Minneapolis metro area. The resale value is climbing like SpaceX right now. It’s going to be so reminiscent to Detroit in the late 60’s and early 70’s. My grandparents definitely didn’t make much equity off their digs on Outer Drive when they fled in ‘69.

Anyone know where Foreflight gets the data for their “MOS”? Is that a NWS product?

So what is the bulletproof solution here that may have protected the pilots estate? I noticed that while I was growing up my dad put everything, and I mean everything, in the name of an estate (that shares the name of my living mother). He has nothing to his name and I’m assuming has been...

Is there anything out there compared to the personal pace drive system? It’s almost like it’s weightless. I’d rather get a Honda but I didn’t see anything that had an unlimited range drive system similar to the PP.

Toro Personal Pace. Greatest design ever. IIRC I paid $400 for one last summer that had electric start.

Bo, Saratoga, Cirrus. Let’s say you find one of those three that are nearly par with avionics and condition. What will your annual maintenance expectations be? My best guess is that the Saratoga will win that contest.

Odd data in the flight aware track at the end. Nice and smooth at 250 then all hell breaks loose. Clear Air Turbulence? That’s a long flight. I’m curious what the G loading was with the total pax baggage and fuel on board. RIP.

Here is a fresh 2020 HS graduate doing the dance at this exact moment:

Does it really matter what the delivery driver and their vehicle look like? I agree that image is extremely important but quality of service is supreme. Unfortunately, the Amazon drivers seem to be easy targets as they don’t seem to observe traffic laws (they park on a highway in lieu of...

I have a clean driving record; I can’t have such crap on my record to maintain my employment. Doesn’t look good in court if my driving record is worse than the defendant. I rarely drink but I would have no problem getting behind the wheel after a couple beers. That’s because I’m able to just...

I know that you had nothing to do with FD’s lowering their physical agility standards but it is absolutely ridiculous that any job requires that rigorous abilities would have any sort of sex or age discrimination. It’s either that the candidate can do the job or not do the job. When I took my...

I believed it was 25% and you claim 2018 stats that indicate 30%. Okay wow I was off by 5% in regards to 2018 numbers big deal. Only a bone head wouldn’t be able to figure out that when a sleepy/distracted/drunk/hazardous driver causes injury that there IS a victim. My point remains: the...

Be cautious of using any no-name CHICOM junk power supplies. If you ever get bored test some of your wall-wart DC supplies and check how accurate the output voltage is versus what is listed on the label. I think you’ll be surprised.
