    Flight following - not sure why I didn't use it before

    Remember, Flight Following is not some kind of flight plan you must follow (absent instructions otherwise)...you are free to fly where you want (within regs). If ATC asks or says "say intentions" or "route of flight" if not direct enter enter that is just so they know what to expect from ya to...

    Commercial airline boarding

    I had to fly JetBlue a while back and to my suprise was granted "Boarding Group #2" at check in as a no status nobody on that airline. Score! Well, I was literally in the last 10 people at actually board with all the effing perks and credit card holders ahead of me, it was ridiculous. I LOVE...

    F35 down and missing in SC

    OK...what would cause a pilot to eject yet the plane was apparently able to continue straight and level for a while on autopilot?...mistake the eject lever for the lumbar support adjustment?

    Airline “seats remaining” site?

    SWA does not play well with other search engines so you have to search through their website...for SWA one hack is to try and book for 8 flights and see if it close to full but don't think they publish capacity anywhere.

    Truck box stuff

    Ditched the box as well…takes up too much space in bed. Under rear seat of pickup is slide hitches, 2 ratchet straps, 2 bungee cords, red flag, gloves, first aid kit, spare dog leash and water bowl, 2 rags, basic tool bag, lockdown cable and padlock, lithium battery jump pack.

    Body Transport

    Just outta morbid curiosity...is there an actual market for that to support a business? I know most of the major airlines that do cargo also transport human remains on the regular so how do you compete giant the big boys that are already established?

    Remedial Household Training

    Yes...but there are also people that will accidentally hit the gas instead of the break and watch themself drive themself into a wall as they freak out...seen it happen...so you are asking a lot to solve an overflowing toilet for some.

    Saw a Tesla semi today

    Love some of the "the technology isn't perfect now so it will never be viable" comments. Ya'll think Starlink is just about brining internet to rural areas?....that is to just beta test the system and work the bugs out. There is a reason Tesla is licensing its EV software to all the other...

    From another forum, landing permission

    No FARS Prohibiting. Depends on County/City regs for off airport Landings/Takeoffs, they regulate ground use. If not explicitly prohibited it is allowed. You don't need permission and wont get it from a municipality...you will get what is prohibited or not under current regs on the books. The...

    Is an approval an instruction?

    You have received an instruction which you are required to follow...how could you enter D if you are to remain at or above 2000'? To get Bravo clearance you would need to get clearance from Approach. D Tower does not provide air traffic services to Bravo....unrelated issue to your question...

    Transporting your firearm

    Don't think the FAA gives a rat's ares nor are there FAR restrictions but you are subject to each state's individual laws that you would pass through/stop at for transporting firearms.

    {n/a} Car Washes ... how do you keep your clean?

    If you are running it through the gas station plastic bristle cheap washes beating the crap outta the finish I would agree but a soft touch drive tough or hand wash regularly on newer cars are not an issue IMO.

    {n/a} Car Washes ... how do you keep your clean?

    When money was flowing it was full service car wash whenever but that was $30 a pop...then would do interior every once in a while and that same car wash has a $12 drive through exterior only with quick wipe down which is great. Now that I am further away from that car wash and have more time a...
