I guess everyone got in and out without hurting themselves too badly this year.

I have experienced that gridlock getting out of the parking lot. The Thunderbirds are a popular show and I believe that they attract a lot of people. I believe that they are only there on Saturday and Sunday doing their show. I am glad that the Thunderbirds are doing their thing again and...

Or it could be like my dad joked: "the warning bell was so loud that I couldn't think.":wink2:

It is interesting that most race car wrecks don't kill the driver thanks to things like roll cages, unlike normal cars which kill a lot of folks, but not as many as in the 60s when we had less safety features.

I also am glad that the pilot is ok. I did some thunderstorm dodging last week in a flight from Alabama to Sebring, FL, not too far from Lakeland. If you want to fly in Florida you will need to dodge storms.

I am thinking that it might be cheaper to not taxi on the rim even though it has been landed on. It pays to be careful of our expensive airplanes so that you can fit them into the budget.

Many years ago when Page Field KFMY was the commercial landing airport I got told to watch for jet traffic as I approached the field on a solo cross country. That got me a little rattled so when they told me which runway to land on I didn't pay a lot of attention, I just used the one that the...

I agree. It is not too dissimilar to the New York Yankee flying into a building in New York in his Cirrus. No way the chute helps.

I have heard this advice for years. I recommend John Bogle's books. He will explain the magic of index funds. I paid 22 dollars for "The John Bogle Reader" on Kindle. It will be a well spent 22 bucks if you buy it too and read it.

What is the "beach tour?" If I was going to the beach I might consider renting a car and going to Cape Florida on Key Biscayne or Crandon Park, also on Key Biscayne.

Great poem! I used to have a copy of The Flight Before Christmas from the ALPA magazine, probably late 60s or early 70s. Anyone able to post an old ALPA Flight Before Christmas? i have not been able to find that version in my Google search.

Hopefully you can work this out with the eye doctor. Some are more willing to give great customer service, refunds, etc. than others. If there was a higher charge for the Progressive lenses, or what I wear, bifocals, then the difference in cost might be appropriate for you to pay.

I also relieve myself prior to flight and haven't been worrying too much about 400mm lenses.

Good point about America. In Europe and in Barbados folks seem to just do nature's calling and not get too uptight about it. I happen to have issues that older men sometimes have where I have to go a lot. It was a pain in the neck going to Boston where they don't have the laws we have...

thankfully the Bengals won the game. Too bad when a blown call costs the game for a team.

Is KLAL's restaurant open?

I know of 3 people who failed to withhold taxes on their employees and more or less paid them in cash. The IRS came after the employers for the unpaid taxes and created a huge bill by the time the IRS added in interest and penalties. I suspect that the employees had some sort of...

PMP is a nice stop. Much less busy than FXE in my limited experience

Out!!

I believe that the Saratoga was Kennedy's plane. I think that plane is retractable, constant speed prop, and a little faster than the training Cessna 172's, etc. The FAA in its wisdom calls it complex and requires folks like me without complex training to get some before I fly it...
