We’ve stayed at the Radisson at least three times. Very easy and clean.

“Our paint does not use any power, but, more importantly, it sends the heat to space. The heat doesn’t stay on the Earth, so that really helps the Earth to cool down and can stop the warming trend.” Wouldn’t this cause, Cosmic Warming…? Sarcasm, I have no serious thoughts on this…

I’ve had the Fargo G2 ANR unit since 2017 ($350ish on Amazon). They are great. Hardly scientific but two friends have had to send back their Bose for repairs in the same timeframe.

I’ve always loved the look but never flown one. The push/pull is intriguing. I’ve talked with owners and they “of course” loved them. All said that training makes takeoff knowledge of the rear engine no sweat. They are loud and slow. There is some Riley Rocket upgrade on some that speeds them up a bit.

I certainly want a faster plane that carries more. My issue is I want to keep my Bonanza as well…. Then I want an RV taildragger... Then I want a Pitts…. But never as an upgrade, keep ‘em all.

Mine has decreased a super tiny fraction the last two years. I may not be the best target to study as I had a non-fault claim (Tiger destroyed on ground by hail) a few years back. They still ding you for it.

That’s interesting. I’m not dropping significantly. I’m entering my third year with a retract and VFR only ticket. My premium reduced a tiny bit and I’m paying nearly double that amount annually. I’ve checked around annually with no lower options.

It takes all personalities. If this was me and I could afford it, my title would be, “Please don’t talk me out of…”

I’ve had adults in the back of a Tiger and it was fine. At 6200’ elevation, I’d agree that 180hp is required not just desired.

I’m interested. Long time goal to go and a group trip sounds better. Treasure Cay or Marsh Harbor sound great too (same island). Bluntly, would anyone be bringing kids? I have a 13 year old son that I doubt we’d leave back.

This brings back memories. Before I took my first lesson, I owned a handheld radio, pulse oximeter, lap board, headset, foggles, a logbook, sick bags, etc. Some of that was something moving me in the direction but not having the funds just yet to bite the bullet. I rarely buy new stuff now.

Completely the case for me these days as well. I flew into Tampa last week to take my kid to Busch Gardens. After seeing the rates that enterprise/national wanted, we literally used Uber/lift to get everywhere. It was ridiculously expensive to rent.

I’ve rented through Enterprise at Pigeon Forge airport without using the FBO twice. No problems.

Me too on luck I guess. I almost exclusively use Enterprise or their partner National. Their FBO service has been good as well.

I’m a magnet for bad experiences with rental cars. In each instance (four times) once I disputed the charge it never came back. Let your CC company do the work.

I’m not a moderator but I tested the link with a security check and it was clear. I did the survey. It’s not too invasive. Jamaica, to me, doesn’t hold the prestige of the airports/adventures throughout the islands of the Bahamas.

Let them know. My numbers are about the same as yours 90-10. Often they thank me for the information. No data but my guess is the same 10% would be the ones chiding you for not saying your intentions as well…

That restoration and panel looks fantastic. Congrats on the win at Airventure as well.

Big and brass may be understatements for the first time. Hard NO if I was asked to do that. JP (one of the pilots) seemingly knows no fear.

Thanks for the tips. Looking into several now.
