Weird thing about a C170 is that you can also land on pavement. I'm fact I'm sure Cessna had no idea the plane would be used the way it is now.

Same reason they didn't mention that corrosion on a baffle is a non event.

Oops! That explains the phone call.

Just for laughs, can you give me a theortical vector from, say, Yucca Mountain to this area 51 place. Or an actual R number? It might help explain a call a friend received from the FAA. And "nothing" is a bit unfair. According to my friend it was a beautiful area.

You didn't tell us what you're going to do with the 2$ windfall.

Yes, I'm the new Denny. It's been a weird couple of months but I'm generally second shift.

Al Jaffee"s "snappy answers to stupid questions" is why I'm such a smart a**

Ass chief. Most resumes cross my desk first. Without quoting anyone specific, I think the .mil comparison is valid. Of course there's no "train until you're good enough". There's "meet the criteria by this milestone or get lost". Trapping a carrier deck at 300 hours in a turbine powered...

^this If you're "grinding away" or "boring holes" to get to 1500 hours you miss the point entirely. I don't want to hire pilots with 1 hour, 1500 times

Way shorter. I used to get a lot of time playing in the sim. I could land 14L at Boeing Field which is 3700' long no problem. If I didn't mind a brake fire I could get stopped in half the length. 2/3 length I might get a brake temp light. That was at mid weight and CG, Vref 40.

A mass arrival of cessna's, wow. That's about as exciting as a bunch of old school teachers walking into a strip club

Yes, created a long time ago when getting an STC was easy. The STC for the Lycoming could also point to the factory application of the Lycoming on the same airframe. For a better comparison look at how successful the STC to put the 912 on the C150

Early 172s don't sell for enough money to justify a $50k engine plus the cost of a new prop, the STC paperwork and the labor to install a 916.

^ I have found it is smarter to spend more to buy a plane closer to where you live. Thousands more actually. I ferry airplanes as a side hustle. I have never picked up a plane that was in the stated condition. Factor in a Ray Charles pre buy like the OP paid for, flying yourself and maybe your...

Substantially above puts me in IMC and Echo airspace. Anything below violates part 135.203

I fly 600/2 for a living. I rarely cruise above 500'

How about sexual favors? Asking for a friend

I worked for a company that made the molds for the intake ducts on the Lockheed JSF (now F-35). The Lockheed guys referred to the Boeing entry as "Monica". If you were an adult in the late 90s that was pretty funny.

I'd like it if they had better passive noise cancelling. By that I mean better than zero, which is what the A20s have. It's a bit startling to be two minutes from landing and having the batteries quit on you. The C-207s I fly for work are loud as h***. My other wish list items: A cord that...
