Another updated update: So after being replying to the first 10 item laundry list I got a second deferral letter. This time there was another 10 item laundry list attached, but nothing new or insurmountable, just more detailed queries about the other items. I provided those reports and I think...

Neato-jetto! Have always wanted a DMC in my garage. The GM/DMC dealer in our town had two brand new ones he kept on the lot for over 20 years after the demise of DMC, along with the last 76 Caprice convertible he had, in stock. Just kept them on display.

I'm doing ground school simultaneously and can see the correlation as I progress. Unfortunately I'm behind on my book learnin compared to my yoke time.

I hope they weren't worse than reported and they were only taking extra precautions until they assessed true conditions.

https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/small-plane-crash-near-wise-county-airport-unknown-injuries/2590512/ I'm told by someone on the scene that this was a CFI and Student Pilot/Aircraft Owner on board. They limped away one with a broken finger, the other with a broken ankle. They are very lucky...

You're not too old... currently pursuing my PPL at 59 after putting it off for over 30 years... and I'm having the time of my life finally chasing that life long dream. I woke up one day last August and decided that I wasn't getting any younger. it wasn't getting any cheaper, there's not a...

Sorry for your troubles but its really a case for "Me Fund Me" to handle. You've chosen a very expensive yet optional activity, nobody else should have to support it. (from an ordinary working stiff who's working OT to pay for instruction and totally upgrading a plane at the same time)

Oh my gosh! This gave me the most horrible flashback to the time I went to a formal dinner at the gun club and tried to introduce my gorgeous new girlfriend to another member.... and I couldn't remember her freaking name to save my life! At least ATC is just on the radio laughing at you instead...

Somewhere I have saved a PowerPoint presentation of an F-22 Jock who got locked in his plane. After every reasonable attempt.... they broke out the chainsaw! Man you should have seen how bad they FODded the cockpit with shavings from cutting through that thick transparency on the canopy. There...

Tried to Message you regarding Med III deferral but it won't let me. How can I contact you?

Well good news... I hope... Wonder how it translates to classic car market. Need to thin the herd and release two Mustangs back to the wild

Wasn't aware you can do that but this being a change of ownership, I doubt that can be done online.

With the COVID disruption on how long has it been taking to get back new registrations from the F A & A?

I put $10,000 cash in the safe before I started my training, I backed that with another $5,000 in a savings account just in case. Number one reason people fail to complete their PPL is running out of money, leading to loss of proficiency, leading to extra hours and expense to regain proficiency...

There are sessions that are challenging and not so fun but some of the challenges are surprisingly fun. The not so fun are mostly where you don't do things as well as you'd like to and beat yourself up over it. For the most part I am having the time of my life.... It will only get better with...

In the original story first it was a tire, then a wheel then "without it's left side landing gear"... Was the plane slowly disintegrating??? Reporters..... sheesh!

Paying $120 wet for 172N and $40 CFI in central Texas. Think I'm getting a bargain here.

Vintage... just doesn't have the same meaning with planes as it does with cars, boats, etc... I call mine a classic because its a first year model that changed a lot from it's early version to become its more modern version, but even at it being 66 years old I don't see it as vintage...

Update... After 8 or 9 Doctor visits crammed into less than a month with lots of holidays and COVID restrictions I did manage to complete all tests and evaluations and get 29 pages of results and records into the hands of the F, A & A 6 days under the deadline. Its all in the flight god's...

Found the pics...
