I appreciate the FBOs that try to keep the prices down on the fuel. I know that they have to somehow figure a way to feed their families with the FBO business. I have "read" and we have discussed in these forums about how the fuel increasing from the 42 cents a gallon that it was when I...

I also have heard good things about Browns, which is in Winter Haven right next to KGIF.

I got to shake hands with Ronald Reagan and Spiro Agnew at the 1972 Republican National Convention. I also got to meet Jeb Bush.

Thanks for the report. My plane needs some exercise so hopefully Saturday or Sunday I can go out to the airport, exercise the plane and see some of the show.

Interesting thread. Thanks for the link.

I came across one of those internet news lists of overpaid jobs. Unfortunately it was a while ago and I cannot reference it. Because of the responsibility, the complexity, the requirement for great health, the requirement for great mental health, and for many other reasons I do not think...

The editor of my flying club newsletter back in the day entertained me with his various errors in spelling, grammar, and the like. But I am grateful that he was willing to do the job.

A buddy says that most of his posts in a fishing forum attract "crickets" which means that no one is interested in responding and the posts put them to sleep. It is fun in a forum to start topics that folks are interested enough to respond to. Some popular ones here that really aren't...

We all need attention. I define internet trolling as posting things that might attract some interest that might not be true.

Flying does seem to be an interest of the older generation. The kids are into video games.

I have had a couple of great memories in Georgetown, Exumas.

I did that on my first solo cross country and landed on the wrong runway. This was in 1970 and no one got too uptight about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That may be a good idea. I wonder if that would be considered charging which I don't think is recommended while the battery is in the plane Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My fiancee would go with me but after seeing a picture of someone's Piper Cub sitting on its nose with 2 people she sort of knew dead she decided that now that she is my wife that flying is a no go.

My aircraft maybe had a value of 60k in 2005. Supposedly the VREF and other valuations after some flying hours has dropped to 22 to 30k. So I guess losing 30plus thousand for 8 to 9 years of flying maybe fits your "relatively stable" comment although the great recession did hit airplane...

I have taken pictures out of the opened window in flight. Thankfully I was able to hold onto the camera with no problem.

I agree with the thought to pay cash if you possibly can. I am involved with a possible transaction on a 1978 Warrior II with average interior, needing paint, and 950 SMOH. The price is maybe between 22 and 30k. If you could consider something like that it sure would be easier on your...

I would think that if you would become active in AOPA forums and this forum that you would have the opportunity to meet someone single who can talk planes, etc. I enjoy these 2 forums plus a fishing forum. Both flying and fishing are areas where males vastly outnumber females. If you can...

http://youtu.be/PVmqK5YZuxM I suppose there is a way to insert this video a little better than the link. If anyone has a chance to go anywhere near a cave with scuba tanks and not complete training in cave diving I recommend that you watch this video.
