Is it possible to ignore someone on here or do you have to just overlook them? I hate that I'm buying into this but I'm subject to that nag of having the last word.

I don't like being called a liar, namely because I go out of my way to be honest, but I'm trying to be civil here. In San Pedro I used to hang out with the pilots at Pedro's bar and hear them talk about the (apparently) insanely short runway they described. I dont know what you think is...

Now that you mention it, I somehow managed to lose my wallet, light my hair on fire, break my hand, and almost get arrested thanks to that liquor dome... Think it's Cheers or Charlie's or something like that. The hair thing was totally the bouncer's fault, guy hands me a lighter with a six inch...

Police told me not to bother filing a report it's so common. Apparently the element's height and the CC's position make it easier to pull off rather than a greater reward.

Deleted my last comment, I'm not here to argue with you about what belongs here or doesn't man.

And for us youngins there's the perpetual party/Chlamydia-generator know as Isla Vista just next door. Fortunately that statement isn't entirely from personal experience.

Bahaha, the aftermarket replacement I got is still giving me problems so if you could ship that over to AZ I'd appreciate it. Apparently they scrap them for platinum.

Oops, that was supposed to be Santa Barbara lol. Yes Sacramento is just a bike path with boredom on one side and a river on the other.

It's sad to let one experience ruin a place, but my first night in Chattanooga someone crawled under my Honda element and hacked out the catalytic converter. Left a bad taste and haven't gone back since.

I actually spent quite a while in Newark after hurricane Sandy but I had very little free time and never really got to explore. Much like right now in Florida, working 16 hours a day 7 days a week doesn't leave much for enjoyment. By the time I was done with claims there I'd been moved to long...

Much appreciated. Forgot I asked and my first thought was, "That's a funny name for a plane..."

Looking through these planes (Grumman mostly) I can't help but think, "Damn I wish I had a trust fund..."

With the depreciation rates on anything floating they won't be too rich too long anyways. That being said, just being American has many people assuming wealth from the get-go.

The storage question is a huge concern and I really don't have an answer to that yet. The more research I do the more I'm leaning away from a larger plane, mobility and speed is the main draw of the plane and the extra cost/hassle of a larger craft is hard to justify. That being said, the...

This guy knows! In regards to some of the other comments this is the only reason that a plane is even remotely feasible on a long term journey like this. In talking with some AU adjusters I've heard that many areas can be extremely difficult to get to and this is a first-come first-serve kind of...

Per request, here's my story in short(ish) and top 10 places in the US. Had a lot of fun writing this actually https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/my-story-and-top-10-places-in-north-america.98944/

Without further ado, and in no particular order, my top 10 favorite places in North America: Sedona, Arizona, USA My home town, and it has a small mountaintop airport! Beautiful, serene, heavily stylised (even McDonald's has turquoise arches) and expensive. Walt Disney once tried to buy the...

If you're not interested in the disquisition of why or how, scroll down to the second post for my top 10 favorite places in North America. I left home when I was seventeen, driven on by my wanderlust and angst rather than some befallen past. My parents had been travelers in a time long...

On a side note, does anyone have a recommendation for an at home flight simulator? I don't expect a whole lot from learning on a computer but it would be nice for after work while I'm still in the work season. So far everything I've found seems way oversimplified with the exception of DCS, but...

Given what you've said about US I'd doubt it was any more secure elsewhere, especially in developing countries. How would one accomplish long term (month rather than years) storage of a seaplane? On rivers I could see anchoring at a dock but with ocean tides and surf I'd imagine it isn't the...
