Holy crap! I hope it gets better, or can get better! Wow! For the record I believe you.

That is a really, really nice Mooney. Good luck with the sale, and the 195!

That is true, but some are worse than others, but point taken.

I always fly with an hour minimum fuel reserve. I have only seen the JPI fuel totalizer start blinking one time that I was in the reserve (10 gallons/1 hr), and my flight ended (normally) a few minutes thereafter. It is one of the many, but obvious ways to avoid problems, and angst. Yes, I go...

I never go to OG voluntarily, but think I went there once because people from work wanted to meet there. Take note of the caloric content of their dishes. Absolutely off the chart, especially their "salad". They entice people to go there with high calorie, high fat, high Sodium meals.

I was mowing my lawn one fine Spring day when that exact scenario happened. I had just moved to CO, and thought to myself, "well I've never seen one this before". :) Or it could have been mid summer. Dunno! :)

Very nice story! Thanks!

Welcome! Very impressive aviation background for sure!

Damn, that was two airplanes ago. Let me see if I still have my maintenance, and parts manuals. I know I have them, I just don't remember where they are!

"I was free and clear. I was living the dream. I was stripped to the waist eating a block of cheese the size of a car battery."

Welcome back Michael! Great to see you! :)

Looks good Greg! Yum!

Pessimistic view: GA can NOT fight these large trends. 1. Demographics of an aging pilot population 2. Societal shift away from personal accomplishments, and activities with actual risk, and learned skill involved (virtual/cyber world takes precedence over real world) 3. Cost of...

She was saved due to her hair and 80's clothing which eventually repelled the SWAT guys! Well that is a debate for another time, and place as I believe we have a right to free travel, (freedom of movement) no matter of the means of travel.

I had a friend that did it for a while maybe 10 or 15 years ago, and then got his IFR, finally after having his PPL (certificate, yes) since he was 16. I think he got his IFR when he was 45! I used to always chastise him for it, but that that got old, and as I indicated finally did the right...

I have also heard that people can be arrested for riding a bicycle under the influence, and I assume for walking also (public drunkenness).

Rushie, so sorry to hear! Hope it all works out, and you get the flow you want, and the damage repaired quickly. I have to flush my toilets at least twice now due to the low flow requirements. Makes sense, huh? :)

So Nate, are you saying for ground operations (cars/trucks, etc) we'd need SAT links instead of cell links to be reliable? I know we'd need them for air/sea. Currently, I would tend to agree, not that I am an IT, or computer tech guy, just a user of tech. This topic interests me, as the...

I forget where I saw it, but some guy liked his Harley so much he had them embalm him, dress him in his riding gear, prop him up on the bike, and get buried like that. It was really weird looking to see this dead guy on a bike get lowered into the ground in some plastic container. And here he...

A lot of it is just ignorance as most of the general public know only large, commercial airliners as there only contact with aircraft. The rest is jealousy because they do not have the freedom, and/or wherewithal to fly airplanes. They can't do it, so they don't want us to be able to do it.
