Yes my fiancée had to agree to flying before she could be my fiancée. Now many years into the marriage she has decided that flying is not for her.

I like that restaurant too. If you would enjoy flying across the state, Venice, FL KVNC has a great restaurant one mile away on the Beach, Sharkeys. Hard to beat a nice lunch with a Gulf View. You can walk the mile or call the restaurant and they will send out a complimentary shuttle.

I like what my mother in law says: Pretty is as pretty does. Many beautiful and rich ladies are spoiled pains in the neck. Someone with inner beauty is nice.

Mad magazine said that you should learn enough math in school to know that the odds of winning the lottery are pretty much zero so you shouldn't play. Perhaps the Kings decided that giving away an airplane wasn't the best use of their resources. Probably their sales are flat or slipping...

That is a great article! It would have been a great read for me 8 years ago when I transitioned to the Warrior!

I thought the same thing. In the sea there are countless gains, But if thou desirest safety, it will be on the shore. — Saadi (Abū-Muḥammad Muṣliḥ al-Dīn bin Abdallāh Shīrāzī, or سعدی, The Gulistan of Saadi, 1258. The danger? But danger is one of the attractions of flight. —...

I was in the Pan American Flying Club with one dollar a month dues and 5 dollar an hour dry C 150 rental in 1970 at KTMB, Tamiami Airport in South Miami

I trained in Cessna 150s and 172s. I now fly a Warrior II. One of my instructors suggests when you go for a flight that you brief the passenger to be prepared to open the door and lock it open should the engine quit and you have to land off airport to keep from having to deal with a door that...

I think that you are the exception. I have heard stories of folks borrowing money to get a degree. In a few cases, such as yours, the degree offers a chance to get a nice income and pay off that loan. I am aware of some cases where the debt is simply laid aside and the person has to figure...

I try to buy gas myself when I land. Somehow these FBO's have to figure out a way to stay in business. I hope that they can given stories like the "F in Pilots" story. Those of you who have enjoyed the Kissimmee Jet Center at KISM might note one way of trying to survive. I hope they are...

I suspect that keeping up with the Jones's has been around as long as people have.

I agree with Buddy, although you didn't ask about this approach. I have done ok with Vanguard and Fidelity no load funds and picking my own stocks using advice from Peter Lynch books.

I have a quote saying partly that "half of the people in any profession don't care." I think there is a lot of truth in that.

I am sorry that your BFR was so unpleasant. I occasionally have forgotten that my passengers might not be as excited as I am about seeing a stall (not hammerhead!) demonstrated. We pilots with strong stomachs need to be considerate of others!

In another forum we are wringing our hands because a judge made some ruling that some of us disagree with involving a lake's runoff and where it should be allowed to go. In other words, the judge spoke so we are out of luck as far as being able to do anything about it. It is interesting...

I loved Sky King! Thanks for bringing back the memory.

I thought they were.

I have heard that his relative, Warren Buffett says that Jimmy is a really savvy investor.

the son does a good job with the update?
