    He was a big cheerleader in the purchase. You should have seen the pom-poms.

    Well now I've done it (new airplane)

    (Finally) bought a new-to-me airplane. N4867D is a 1979 172N. Closed on it mere hours ago and I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight. I said "there's a couple of things to fix on it, so I should get those taken care of". And then I said "who am I kidding, as soon as it warms up...

    [NA] NYC steakhouse suggestion

    At least where we went the other night for a work meal, the peanuts now come in a little plastic bag now, not scooped out of the giant bucket.

    Henning was so prolific that his post count was converted to decreasing.

    Weird ways to get fired at work

    I found out that one of the recruiting agencies we used was debriefing candidates and writing down the technical questions I asked. They would brief the next candidate on my questions and give them the answer. I was suspicious because candidates were saying the right words, but they never...

    Buying a plane based in North Carolina

    Your understanding of NC tax is accurate. I will point out that SC caps sales tax at $500 and is probably 10 minutes away.

    Airport base between Orlando and Tampa?

    Probably Winter Haven. Have a discussion about prebuy results tomorrow and hope to close next week. First day of work is Monday, but we won’t move permanently until Jan or Feb.

    Civil Air Patrol 182 fatal, Colorado, 11/23

    I would surmise that we (CAP) have been asked not to comment. As much as I'd like to because I have strong suspicions.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 releases in November. Your thoughts?

    What are the improvements over FS 2020? Or is it just a re-release to regen sales?

    CPL stuff: Private, Non-common, common carriage ... oof

    This came back around as a necro, but as I read through it for refresh, I didn't see something that I thought I knew. You can be hired as a pilot, but you have to understand the operation too, right? If you're a commercial pilot that is hired for an operation which should be 119/135 but isn't...

    Thank You for Your Service

    I find the "Thank you" to be awkward. I didn't do it for the thanks, I wanted money for college. I've gotten my thanks already. I'm glad I did and happy to use the parking space up front at Lowes. I thankfully don't qualify for the handicap spot but my knees banged a few too many ladder...

    Why do we switch fuel tanks before landing?

    Switch it 10 miles out or not at all. I assume it's not near empty, but if so, why? You're running on a known fuel source that isn't giving you trouble. Why would you try to switch away from it just to be on a tank with more fuel? They shouldn't be that far off and you've got 10 minutes of...
