Just to close the loop, we went and visited Ocean Springs, MS, then Mobile, Alabama, and decided that she liked the Mississippi side of the Gulf better, so she bought in Ocean Springs. Thanks all for the suggestions.

It's actually for my daughter. She is moving there in June. She is looking to buy her first home, in a nice neighborhood, that will be fun for a young, single person. With a reasonable commute. She's been living in Northern California. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To the OP, it makes perfect business sense for a bank to not lend on a runout engine. The value of most of these planes without an engines is likely calculated by the pound, at prevailing prices for aluminum at the local recycling facility. That is just a harsh reality. That being said, it...

I have had 2 doctors who I do not see for medical services, but see socially, and both told me they would sign me off without hesitation. This is really a non-issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The commute will be to Pascagoula. How bad is commute from East Bay? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any advice on what neighborhood and what part of town for a young, professional, single person to live? Will include looking to buy a home and a commute to SE Mississippi. Thanks for any insight and direction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It really isn't that risky once you get used to it. It becomes comfortable and relatively easy. I I will spend 3-4 hours doing mostly 0-100 AGL, and sometimes even negative AGL (in some tight canyons that your only option is to climb and sidestep). Nothing like fresh pine scent or safe...

Must make cross countries difficult if you are unable to risk leaving gliding distance to the runway. Maybe flying isn't for you?

Oh please.... The good engineers at Cessna put 40-degrees of flaps on the plane for a reason. Not to create a "danger zone".

Do you always fly where you can make the pavement if the engine fails, or just the last 600 yards?

The fact no lender wants to lend on the property should tell you something. The fact you need to borrow the "down payment" to have a down payment should tell you something. Make sure you tell ALL potential lenders that you are borrowing the down payment, and will have to repay that amount, also.

For all who are upset this "doesn't go far enough" and that "AOPA didn't accomplish", you are more than free in this country to start lobbying your Reps and Senators to pass the next leg of the reform you want. This doesn't have to be the endpoint, it can be the starting point. Instead of...

Every Dr. I have spoken with the last 6 months, who I have specifically asked about this, have said they would have no problem signing it. One Doc, an OB/GYN laughed and said her Insurance company would LOVE for her to perform functions with less financial risk to her and the insurance company.

Seems like a good thing. For a Joe Schmoe private pilot, no more 3rd class medicals. I can worry about real health issues from any Dr I choose, and addressing what the Dr. wants. Now for the inevitable question on Pot. With no MedExpress to fill out, no State drivers license restriction...

Thanks for helping him get on his way. Those kind of things are appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, frequently speak of myself in the third person. Shows objectivity. No, the return air has never tripped the thermostat, and, I can't imagine it would be warm enough, efficient enough to do so. You have a huge aluminum heat sink in there for the air to be cooled. My thoughts would be...

Did you happen to see that the OP built a milk barn heater and posted pictures of it in the thread?

Getting difficult to drive. Window freezing over every couple of miles. White out on the road. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My biggest problem with Harbor freight is the crappy service in the store. Maybe it is just my local store, but there is nobody to help you find anything. And worse, the checkout process is painful. We spent more time trying to look you up in their computer system, and updating their mailing...

Another vote for Lowes tools (Kobalt Brand). Watch the sales, and you can pick up what you need, fairly cheap. And, it seems like it is easier for me to buy a new ratchet/socket set each year, than to get ****ed because of the 1 socket that I lost 4 months ago, that is the one I really need...
