That was a lot of doo about nothing....

Going to take some thinking about how to get it out of that "ditch." Someone posted a helicopter picture, I don't think their are any helicopters that big.

Why should it matter that he doesn't have insurance, in this case the damage was clearly caused by the other party. Tell them to pound sand on the tax returns. You don't need an aviation attorney, you just need an aggressive attorney who threatens them with a lawsuit.

I don't think the economy is getting better, it is just getting different. There is no motivation for people to work as there is enough handouts for them to survive. They are now comfortable doing nothing and living in their mom's basement. I run a manufacturing company that does low end...

As the say up there...."worst 500-2 I have ever seen"

Pay off the house....the stock market is just too high right now, it is due for a correction....the housing market is also too high and due for a correction. We are all doomed. At least you already own the house, or most of it.

Regarding the high altitude stalls, I was told the simulator doesn't replicate them very accurately as they never tested and documented accurately or the sim company didn't want to buy all of that data to build into sim, as they didn't need it. Take your pick on what is true. This is on small...

And a motivated caring workforce

Compare Kake AK to Petersburg AK and you will find a huge difference when only separated by 50 miles. Culture of dependency on government handouts and needing to work for a living can be clearly seen.

Are cylinders not repairable/overhaul able? Based on what I have read about continental cylinders new from the factory, it seems like there should be better options.

Wow only 10 years behind schedule and $5 billion over budget (per the article). And we need to sepnd how much more on failing infrastructure? What about doing it right the first time?

As someone posted not cheap. Back when I was flying a Hawker I seem to recall a deicing bill of around $800 for a relatively quick spray with Type I to remove ice/frost. Lot of places don't have the Type IV, which would have added to the bill.

Well this is the reason I rarely engage in "discussing" anything on the internet, people like you and here is why. I did read the report on the FCI expansion plans, perhaps you should read further down where they quote a price of $3.1 million for the runway expansion alone. Whether it is $400K...

Ken I stalked you and found your background is "aviation consulting". If you think a million dollars per 100 feet of runway is acceptable you are a reason a lot of these gold plated social programs exist. Absolutely zero concern for the taxpayers dollar backed up by volumes and volumes of...

Don't ask my, I am just a dumb taxpayer.... I was off by $5 million, my bad, but I could have sworn I saw the $15 million number.....I have also seen a number as high as $27 million...... for 800 feet. Someone do the cost benefit for me on that one. "The price for the runway extension will...

I think you are proving my point that they are fantasy. I don't see anywhere near the numbers that they are claiming. FCI has a nearly empty ramp for tiedown that was built in last 5-10 years. The runway expansion is being sold to bring in more jet aircraft not support anybody who needs it...

My take on the original posters question is at smaller airports where there is no one counting traffic. Let's take FCI for example, they show 169 operations per day that is 7 per hour over 24 hours, let's take a realistic approach that at night time 10 pm to 6 am, flying drops off even farther...

I should have used my patented sarcasm font.

No reason this 911 call shouldnt work.....i am pretty sure there is an extra fee on my cell phone bill for it or some other related horsecrap.

I have only poured small pads, less than 4' wide and it is easy to screed it level, but how is it done on wider pads?
