My concern would be how many of these people will still be interested when 100LL hits 10-12 dollars a gallon?

It's a free market you can always fly it somewhere else where you think you can get it done cheaper. Saying it has no squawks or deferred maintenance is a bit presumptive. I agree 2000 to do a basic annual seems high but most of the guys at least around here are not hurting for work.

There is a McDonald's within a short walk from one of the local airports. While I don't recommend anyone eat McDonald's food ever I do like their coffee. So the wife and I stop in and get one of those cardboard cup holders.

The one I used a lot was 51.2NM.

Like I say all the time what we do isn't really that hard.

Me Pilot. Me fly airplane. Me no understand fancy science talk.

On the airplanes I have been watching they are either on the market longer or the prices are coming down or both but nothing drastic.

Are turkeys birds? Are they real? I killed a wild one this morning and it was made of meat no microchips to be found.

Key phrase being "ALL AVAILABLE". Grass strips near us in the spring are always iffy. Rain in the last hour could make it a no go. So you could have called and got a report and the situation changed in the hour it took you to fly there.

This reminds me of in Band of Brothers when Sobel tries to court-martial Dick Winters over petty nonsense. He gives him the option of a court-martial or loosing his 48 hour passes for 60 days and then says just take the punishment Dick you stay on the base on weekends anyway. The FAA is trying...

The system is a mess. I would much rather share the sky with someone who knows they need help than someone who just avoids it. I always come back to you can drive a 40' motor home towing a full size pickup down the road with not so much as annual check up and end up killing just as many...

I don't know why we don't scrap the expensive stuff and build a whole bunch of something cheap and hit them like a swarm of angry Hornets (pun intended).

Actually all taxation is theft.

I solved this by not having ADSB.

Your plane your rules. Don't see a big issue with the flight profile but I live and fly in a very rural area. Places to land are abundant if there is a problem.

Buy yourself a blood pressure cuff and a scale and use them regularly. The BP medications are no big deal. BP is wear and tear issue and the longer you let it go the more wear and tear on your parts. Also white coat hypertension is a real thing. I take my BP at home almost every morning...

Yeah but that one is $120,000 USD Negtiable Whatever Negtiable is :D

When we used to have a gas station in town they would have a gas "sale" on Tuesdays where they cut the price by a nickle. My wife would nearly run her car empty waiting for Tuesdays sale. I explained to her that if she saved .05 on 20 gallons it wasn't worth the dollar to run out and make me...

I see people trying to sell items for example headsets (but could be anything) a few years old and used for 100-$200 dollars representing 10-20% off the cost to buy new. I am as cheap as they come and can make Lincoln scream I pinch my pennies so hard but seriously buying used to save 10%...

Pattern altitude seems high to me.
