    Barnstormers has been down for days - what shall I do with my life?

    It's out of my budget too, but I just couldn't resist ducking out of work early to go practice landings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Barnstormers has been down for days - what shall I do with my life?

    My dad has a 1960 175. One of Cessna's most under appreciated airframes. Picked it up two years out of annual at a local field. Guy lost his medical. 81SMOH due to a light prop strike. Plane went through annual painlessly twice while he's working on his PPL still in it. While I'm a sucker...

    This leg wasn't awful. Bottom line is you have to get the big front seat or don't do it at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oh, and Carly charmed her way into the cockpit by telling the captain that she wanted to be a pilot like her.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It is currently tolerable. We just boarded, so it's too early to tell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A thing that happened (And why I owe TecProtb a lifetime supply of free beer)

    Even my old Tampico had a brake light.... you'd think the braintrust who gave us the Big Red Handle could come up with a little red light. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Company supported IFR training dilemma

    Well, if an instrument rating makes it more likely that I make it home on Sunday night so I can be in the chair Monday, that's an essential job function. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    KMA24H: Connect tablet/phone headphone to unused location?

    If you want to go across all four positions, I'd get a PM1000II intercom with a 3.5mm jack. I think the audio panel is asking for trouble and your sound quality will be crappier than most of our attitudes here. The intercom will be much clearer and crisp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not gonna lie, being a dad is like my second favorite thing next to being Miss Carly's full time charter pilot.... so when it comes down to making sure her hair's brushed and she's looking her cutest, that's definitely my department. Of course I'm the first one to throw her in the pig pens...

    Decided to roll the dice and take my five-year old daughter across the country to see my wife last night on a red eye from LAX-BWI. Figured it couldn't be worse than a CRJ-200 of which I've spent a majority of my adult life being mailed through the sky in. I'm 6'6".... Check-in was a...

    What was the most unpleasant part of training for you?

    Fourth solo, first unsupervised... 172N with the single shaft mag.... CFI/IA/CFI/Owner didn't tighten it. 1000' AGL 12 miles south of the field the engine attempted to come from together 2.5nm north of the Mexican border. Forced landing... Worst part is, I prepaid $5300 for a 60 hour block...

    How to lose a customer, car dealership edition...

    Do not do not do not ever take your Countryman to Valencia for service. They'll quote you $80 over the phone and give you a bill for $250...the 80 is only for oil and filter. Bottom line is--I only paid 80.... and I get weekly emails from them reminding me to come back for service or sales...

    That is the first thing I bought for my plane after I got my ticket. Handy as hell and works 1000 times better than my fancy (read crappy) Lightspeed Tango.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    alternative to SwitchBox?

    The bandwidth for the mobile hotspot will be shiatty for any kind of video. An external antenna outside of the big aluminum/steel box could help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
