If I'm forced to "gussy up", my preference is: 1. Bowtie 2. No tie 3. Necktie The bow tie is a classic and neater look to me and it sets me apart at most non formal events. I'd rather wear a suit and no tie with a really nice shirt than a wear a casual necktie, but that's just personal...

IIRC, it was designed to spin, which was always weird to me, but I've flown the Beech Skipper(very similar) and they are fun planes to fly.

I hate Halloween, but mostly because at 52, I'm on the fast track to grumpy old man. I love giving candy to the little children, but not the teens. Teenage girls' voices are like dog whistles and teenage boys are a nervous bundle of hormonal energy and I can no longer bear it. I leave fast food...

About twenty years or so ago, I was helping a friend move from Chicago to Snohomish, Washington. We were driving through Montana and happened upon a black labrador eating out of a carcass of a deer on the side of the road. The sight turned my friend's stomach...she was ready to barf. To me, with...

Darn it, wrong thread.

There's no class bigotry here, my friend. $250k is a low price point for a new plane, but not for a plane that seats two and cruises at 90 knots. Many of us can afford it(cash or financed), it's not exactly the best economic choice for the masses. You can get way more LSA at this price point and...

People who leave the movie theater the second the credits come up. They're only creating an earlier traffic jam. :mad2: Since the "Avengers" franchise started putting content at the end of the credits, I'm now too paranoid to leave. :D

This is especially when they're swerving! Okay, so I'm not crazy...

The object of the merge lane is to use the lane to find your way over BEFORE the end. The merge lane is NOT for coasting to the end and then requiring someone to let you in. Coasting to the end is wasting the lane, not using it properly. The "zipper merge" is obviously the best solution.

Awesome news! I pray his recovery is swift. Congratulate your friend on becoming a member of an even rarer breed of pilot...those that survive a crash.

Weird driving peeves: It annoys me when a driver in front of me is having a conversation with his or her passenger, turns to look at the passenger and takes his eyes off the road. I can't explain why that bothers me, but it does. It annoys me when drivers stop at a red light, but two to three...

The Icon is not for the masses. It's not going to bring any common folk to aviation. It is a limited mission "status" toy by design. Why else would you pay so much for so little performance? THAT'S why the article ran in the Wall Street Journal and not the Penny Saver.

Now HE'S got an annoying voice. I didn't think anyone could actually sound like a tool until I heard this guy.

The standards to becoming a cop and remaining a cop should be higher. Being a good law enforcement Officer is a tough job mentally. People used to proudly serve the police departments, now we seem to have a significant percentage of Officers that are hoping to "survive" the departments just to...

To specifically answer your question, "Fly the Wing" with Gary Wing has good, brief instructional videos. I'm a sucker for any aviation related videos, so I guess that makes me less critical. I'm sort of obsessed with Mooney transition training videos right now and although they're not...

Antonov AN-2

I'm twenty three years into a career and I honestly don't remember how I got here. It more than provides for my family and I consider it noble work, but it's never excited me. I don't hate it...I "nothing" it. So I'm curious about how others may have found their way to what they're doing...

First, report it to the FBO, then leave a note on the FBO bulletin board in big letters: "Tools for sale - cheap!" with a pic of the crap that was on your wing. Then, when the inconsiderate idiot contacts you, let him know that the "community space" in the hangar does not include any part of...

...Bill Cosby at a wine tasting.

Okay, "training videos" might be a bit of a stretch, but I enjoy the FlightChops videos, although he's not a CFI. "MzeroA Flight Training" with Jason Schappert and "Fly the Wing" with Gary Wing both produce quality videos and both are CFIs. They can be a great supplement to an actual certified...
