Enjoy this short video everyone. :yes: Terry http://www.chonday.com/Videos/pilotnewzdalnd1

Why is it we tend to believe the scammers and fraud and doubt the truth tellers? :dunno::dunno: Thanks, Terry

Fellow pilots, I engage on a social network called APSense. Recently I befriended a 3 star general named William Caldwell. Everything looks legit, picture, location, informational background. However, his email letters are full of mis-spellings, grammatical errors, and very poor English. If...

Fellow pilots, Enjoy. Terry http://www.sleepingdogtv.com/

Hi fellow pilots, Enjoy the article and video. I wonder how they are since the recent typhoon? Terry http://www.nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2013/10/27/south-china-sea/

Justin, congratulations. Terry

Me too. I wouldn't have been able to turn on runway lights and etc.....

Well, had terrible wind all day until 5 p.m. Then it quit. Got to the airport and plane wasn't pulled out. Pulled plane out and went through walk around and all looked good. Just turning dark when I started the engine. Everything well until I turned on avionics master. No GPS, no Comm, No...

Hasn't happened recently but I have had to call Wichita radio and ask them to notify Kansas City Center and ask them to turn the repeater on so I can get my IR clearance. :yes: I am serious. Terry

What I find annoying but somewhat comforting, is the REIL strobes, especially in IR conditions when they reflect off the clouds. When I am IMC, I don't notice them because my eyes are on the panel. But in VMC, I have to make it a point to not stare at the lights. They are a distraction...

I was a new VFR pilot and was doing my take offs and stops for night currency. Hays is uncontrolled and I was the only one out that night. I think this was the second pattern I had flown. Anyway, I didn't reset the runway lights timer with my mic and turning them back on at Hays, in the old...

I did my IR training in March of 03. We had freezing fog, strong winds, and solid hard IFR for six days. I almost quit but glad I didn't . Made me a good IR pilot. However, my 1st IFR, by myself, in heavy IMC made me really nervous. Did great and broke out at 300' with 3 mile visibility...

Landing lights are over rated anyway. :D I just put new batteries in my night flashlight. When I was a new pilot, I was coming in and just flared and the runway lights went off. Poured the power and went around. Won't fall for that again. :hairraise: Terry

I hear ya. My pilot buddy is actually doing the flying and I was just covering "all the bases" so we would be legal. He is getting night current too. Both of us feel confident that either of us flying a night should not be a problem. Now, hard IFR and at night? I don't think so. My...

I like flying at night too. It should be nice, quiet, and smooth. We are going to the museum. My pilot buddy's brother volunteers at the museum on Thursday. I am going along for the ride but buying the lunch. Just getting night current in case we start back late, I can take over. We fly...

Hi Fellow Pilots, C172 reserved for tomorrow night to get my night currency. Flying Hays, Ks. (KHYS) to Pueblo, Co.,KPUB, next Thursday. Should return in daylight but just being cautious. Do not want to get caught and not be night current in case we stay too long. Terry PPL, IR

Temperature and humidity make a lot of sense. Thanks everyone, Terry

Can I blame Obama or the Government?

Zenith 2016 by Thomas Horn Excellent read so far.

I have a Grandfather clock that keeps excellent time. Every fall, I have to set the pendulum weight out 1/4 of a turn because the clock speeds up. Then it will keep excellent time until spring when I will shorten the pendulum swing by 1/4 turn. It then keeps time until the next fall season...
