    Flying GA in Hawaii

    Back around 2004 (when I was still working on my PPL), I reserved a couple of flights w/CFI out of PHNL. Granted, you're departing a different airport but the HNL controllers were very accommodating to VFR traffic. First flight was past Waikiki/Diamond Head/Koko head/Windward side, etc to the...

    It would occur to me that OKC would be more concerned with the OCD/OC-P-D diagnosis.

    consumed 2 pills of SSRI through Telehealth, third class medical

    Depends on the state, but in NC, yes. Including controlled substances if the practitioner has a DEA license. As for 'sufficient training', that's subjective.

    LASIK

    I had it done about 8 years ago for myopia of around -4.5 with astigmatism. It was better than going to the dentist, but everyone's experience differs. I had no side effects from the procedure and was corrected to 20/20 binocular. Went back to flying a couple of weeks afterward. Over the years...

    I have no recollection of either being present there. I believe SUT does, however.

    Till they open again for tours, consider listening to these guys: http://opposingbases.com I've enjoyed their podcast and have learned a great deal as a result. YMMV. -a.

    Portable A/C

    We use an Arctic Air in the Diamond (aka the Flying Greenhouse) with reasonably good results. We don't get the frequent three-figure temps as in AZ, but it gets plenty stifling in the 80s-90s with high humidity. The fan and blower motors are remotely switched from the panel, which is convenient.

    So, uhh... wow? (pilot in class Bravo without clearance, McCarran)

    What kills me was his apparent inability to copy a ten-digit number was attributed to "I'm flying." Woe be tithed if he's asked to copy an amended routing.

    Best Beach Houses near a GA Airport in North Carolina

    $150k is a corroded 1960s trailer on a postage stamp for sure. You're spot on with 60J and KSUT though with respect to convenience. I've flown into both airports and have been pleased each time. The Brunswick beaches are typically lower $ than others in NC and those airports are very close to...

    Do you get a flu shot?

    For me, the vaccine is a workplace requirement, unless there's a documented religious objection (still trying to figure that one out) or allergic reaction to the vaccine or carrier. So I get it. Yearly. And I get to keep paying my bills.
