    Any network Hardware Gurus?

    Well the HP we have is supposed to be a managed switch but I've never managed it or any other switch. :dunno: The netgear and other low end ones do provide a small level of management via a web interface but not a lot. I think I'll shoot for a cheaper 24 port switch to replace the dell...

    Any network Hardware Gurus?

    I'm about to replace an old cheap dell network 12 port switch that was pressed into service when the HP 24 port switch was maxed out. We moved the switches around (always makes me cringe when you move something thats been sitting for years) added 2 extranal network drives that filled up the 12...

    Flying sideways is always fun

    I went up Saturday evening in a skyhawk to do some pattern work and get night current. Winds were 22+ knots, but right down the runway. This skyhawk has a fairly new engine (maybe 200 hours on it I think) and power flow exhaust so It's got a little more umph at the moment. Started with...

    Myrtle Beach Plans

    Well it depends on your lenght of stay, budget and what you want to do. We've tried several of the plantations for a weeks stay but our preference is Sea Pines. It's largest, has more to do and beach access is great due to the trolly line. It's also very quiet. Has miles of bike trails and...

    Myrtle Beach Plans

    Ocean Isle is an unattended airport, or at least was last time I went there. Not too far from the beach but it is a hike.

    Double whammy for GA -- Tiger and Symphony DOA

    I've flown our club symphony several times. When they first got it it had some big problems with the fuel system. Only wanted to pull fuel from one wing so endurance was short. 1.5 hours even though the on board system would tell you more than that. They finally got that worked out...

    Myrtle Beach Plans

    Iv'e been to both KCRE and KMYR many times. CRE is more centrally located. MYR is the southern part on the old air base. Both FBOs are good and have low cost rentals. MYR is more oriented with the winds and if they are kicking up you won't have as much, if any crosswind. CRE is normally a...

    Airline Pilot Dies During Flight

    I just googled "pilot dies in flight" and it came back with several hits with stories of airline crew members that died suddenly during a flight in the last 7 or 8 years. I'd only heard of one or 2 and those were private pilots in flights having heart attacks.

    Be afriad, be very afraid....

    One of my favorite movies is "The Dish". A movie about the crew that ran the big radio dish in Australia that actually received the signals from the first moon landing crew. It too was built in a sheep paddock. They had a somewhat over anxious security guy, and during one scene 2 people are...

    What would your last flight be?

    QUOTE=grattonja]I re-read the original post, Scott, in light of your post. He says he has grounded until he can get a letter on the thyroid condition. It does not sound, at this point, like he cannot be certified. It sounds like he is getting to the point where it is one thing on top of...

    What would your last flight be?

    I'm beginnig to think I might just not rejoin my club that was costing me 300 a month or so (I know that seems cheap to a lot of you owners, but it really is a lot to me) of which a little less than that was going for dues and insurance and just rent at another fbo. The equipent isn't nearly as...
