    Moving to California

    Welcome to the land of Fruits and Nuts! LOL Palm Springs is HOT, only word for it. It is the DESERT!!! Plan accordingly. If you have a moving company doing it, get a delivery date ON THE CONTRACT. Moved once and my stuff didn't show up for two weeks "well, we had to wait for the truck to...

    Call for help

    My soon to be niece by marriage is in intensive care and I need to get her mom from WY to IL. She can get to DEN pretty easily or anywhere in between. RFD, ORD or MDW or any airport in northern IL would do. She is 24 weeks pregnant and the baby wants to come out NOW. They are giving her...

    Freaking Google Again...

    I use many of the Google services. I really don't see the big deal about giving them a cell phone number. I gave them mine maybe a year ago, have never gotten and ad via text or anything at all that would make me think they did anything with the number. If you want to use their services, it...

    Is This very Common?

    Just my .02 because I work with a lot of different people. Getting the info "third hand" about 99% of the time tends to not be accurate. There is a reason that an "eye witness" to a crime is about the most unreliable witness you can have. If you get a chance, just in conversation, talk to...

    I lost my bride this morning.

    The title of your post "my bride" after 60 years tells us all the love you felt for her. I am so very sorry for you and your family. You are in my family's prayers.

    foreclosure, will you come?

    As I said before NO ONE is upside down in a house till they try to sell it. Period! Not many salary's have been cut and they bought the place making xxx, so either they couldn't make the payments from the beginning or have decided not to.

    Studying for Checkride (oral) any advice?

    Best advice I can give is: If it is something you need to know WHEN FLYING, you should be able to just do it. Airspace requirements as an example. If it is something you could look up before you left the ground, then have the FAR's in front of you and know where to find it. Something like...

    foreclosure, will you come?

    Nick, You lost me. This person can make the payments according to the OP. He just decided NOT TO. Being upside down has NOTHING to do with making payments on something that you agreed to. NOW, if he wants to move somewhere else (which we don't know), that could be another story. But NO ONE...

    foreclosure, will you come?

    The OP stated he COULD make the payments but chose not to. Why??? Only that person knows that. You bought the house, you have the ability to make the payments and choose not to? That is an integrity issue IMHO.

    ATC: You WILL land here...

    The PIC of the aircraft is PIC! They land where they want. Now there may be consequences of the PIC's actions, but as the old saying goes: You fly the aircraft, NOT atc.

    Sick-out at American?

    Don't work for AA or in a union, but from my basic knowledge of such issues. Most times, the "old" contract stays in effect till the new one is ratified by the union or they strike. Since there has been no strike, I assume, they are still going off the old contract for hiring, firing, wages...

    foreclosure, will you come?

    With the mortgage holder, he researched it? It costs the mortgage holders so much to do a foreclosure, that many will take a short sale rather than a foreclosure.

    foreclosure, will you come?

    If he wants out of it that bad, why not approach the mortgage holder about a short sale and put it on the market?

    ELT transmitting question

    Yes you go to 121.5 and listen. The closer you are the louder it will be for you. Yes, ATC may ask you to do it, if you can't, just say unable. They will understand, but if at all possible, IMHO you should. It COULD be a down plane they are trying to find a general area for. If you only...

    Bronze Star question

    No there is no online database that I know of that give details for any particular service mans medals or the circumstances that they received them under. It would be on there DD214 when he is discharged, but other than that, doubt there is anyway to find out.

    Tustin airship hangar is back in use

    I was stationed there for a couple of years. For those of us in the HQ Squadron, it was known as Fort Tustin. The red headed step child of El Toro, They got all the glory. LOL The hangars are on the Registry for National historic sites or something like that. There are plaques on the front...

    Day VFR minimum equipment?

    I had this exact thing happen to me when I was a student. The TC went inop when we were doing the preflight. After discussions with the head A&P, CFI and myself and some looking in the FAR's (which the CFI made me do). It was determined that it wasn't on the MEL and could be marked "inop" and...

    Landing Cordination

    You have already gotten all the info you need to do it. It really does just take PRACTICE. You will get it. A very experienced pilot/CFII with a TON of teaching time told me. Put YOUR butt over the centerline, the cockpit you are in isn't THAT wide and you will be on the center line. Don't...
