    Too Damn Many Crashes This Weekend

    Flying is about as dangerous as riding a motorcycle or bicycle. Look up the bicycle fatalities. Some days I ride my motorcycle to the airport to fly. Not even sure how I can stay alive with odds like that stacked against me.

    Traffic and all things considers. You might look at Houston Southwest airport. It's a big trade off of time waiting on the ground to work you in with big jets dealing with a big airport logistics. Drive time from Houston Southwest to MD Anderson is 27 minutes vs 20 minutes to Hobby

    PHT is good. They have the data and make the hoses to the TDS spec. The brown internal firesleeve hose are easier to route and work with. They will take a set after awhile. But should be lifetime if not molested.
