I miss henning, his posts were often fantasy, and rotor&wing, who brought the reality.

Leader board? Reward? System? What? I need a plan. I did almost all the flying, just needed to pass the written and then life got in the way. I want to pass the IFR written before I spend any more $$$ on CFIIs. No offense. So what's this magical system of which you speak?

:D I should have known.

People put a lot of energy into debating the legality of red light/speeding cameras. I got hit with a red light ticket late at night in stop and roll traffic leaving a concert. It wasn't a safety issue but, technically I did enter the intersection after the light had turned red. I paid the...

That's a good demo of where I think the real danger of the "impossible turn" lies. It's the psychological draw of the runway. On my private pilot check ride the DPE declared my engine kaput and I picked out the perfect field for an emergency landing. (Since this was a rural area I had a...

Well it looks like it wasn't the "impossible turn" that killed them, it was a stall. Just eyeballing the pics, they probably would have survived a controlled landing on that terrain.

He's the clown?? :rolleyes: You gotta love folks who try to turn small talk into a fist fight.

Thinking about being less of a Luddite and hopping on the ForeFlight bandwagon. How much memory do I need in an ipad mini?

I'm holding out for a metal landing calculator.

Take your time using the head, buddy! I got this under control. ;)

Obviously these guys were in IMC. Otherwise they would have looked out the window and taken some sort of action other than flying right at mountain!

LOL. ya, mountain pic isn't correct but video is good.

I understand completely..... I could tell from your prior post. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! :cool:

Yes, always buy used unless your ego needs a boost. If you read carefully airdale has allowed himself a fair number of ego boosts over the years. Retail therapy!

I can't take credit for having that good a memory. Someone posted that on page 2 of this thread. I need to watch that move again.

I have bought new, nearly new, and nearly junk. If you plan on driving the car until it dies, new isn't a bad deal. Everyone likes to talk about depreciation but that only matters if you sell it when it's 3 years old and lock in your loss. Financing these days is ~0.0%. Take purchase...

With the salt they put on the roads these days you really should consider that Trucoat, Sir!
