    Overflying your area radio calls?

    I only call it out if I am coming in for a landing and need to cross mid field at or slightly above pattern altitude to get to the other side for entry into the pattern. Anything higher than that I usually don't say a word, just monitor the CTAF.

    Buying a Plane - Website

    hangar67.com ASO.com (probably the best of this list) aerotrader.com aerosearcher.com craigslist under aviation is good for local ones. There are also good local deals on headsets and other airplane stuff...bought a newish cheap Red Dragon preheater from the one in Atlanta.

    What other professions are okay with late-night messaging?

    I am an early bird, so usually in bed by 9:30pm and up at 430am. I have a rule...if you text me after I go to bed, I text you right when I wake up. When they tell me they don't like getting texts that early, I tell them I don't like them that late. Usually solves the problem. But I do get a...

    Not sure how this happened to me...

    Been married 19 years and still going strong. Things Top 10 things I have learned the hard way that keep my marriage going. 1. Put the dang seat down lest you wake up at 2am with a wife hovering over you with a mean look and possibly a weapon. 2. My wife is not my mother and cooks just fine...

    Revised Skywriting on FLightaware

    Looks like you likely upset KRYY, KMGE, KPDK and KLZU towers though LOL. PDK can be especially sensitive even when you are outside their airspace.

    Revised Skywriting on FLightaware

    I would have a problem drawing that....with all the refeuling i would have to do. But I like that it has a lot of straight lines which are easy.

    Revised Skywriting on FLightaware

    I saw it on the news and posted it before I had thought to look up a cleaner example online...admittedly my bad. My apologies to any safe spacers or snowflakes out there but it really was a sincere how to question. :)

    Revised Skywriting on FLightaware

    Ok, lets try this a different way....how would one go about planning to write a message on flight aware? I am specifically talking about planning for it, not actually flying it. I use Garmin Pilot, so would I create waypoints or something. Below is an example that is cleaner :) Skywriting...

    Ask me your hardest checkride questions

    some runways have side lines....depends on the type of runway it is. Visual, precision or non precision. $ sign on Metar means that maintenance is required on the automated weather system. A memory aid i used was to think of spending money to fix the thing LOL The adjustment knob on the ASI...

    Not sure how this happened to me...

    Congrasts....but don't they know it is much harder to work the rudder pedals with a ball and chain attached?

    Ask me your hardest checkride questions

    Do runways have lines on the side of them? (This one got me on my checkride) Also, what does the "$" on a metar mean? What is the function of the adjustment knob on an airspeed indicator for?

    High on final, overshooting final.

    That looks challenging...i'll just stick with my 3500ft+ runways with my little 145hp O-300 LOL

    Engine failure at night

    Yep, worried about this a lot myself. I am hoping for an interstate or perhaps large parking lot area if something goes wrong, but there are lots of black holes out where I live and some are mountains. I only fly at night for the views / experience so I dont do it often away from places with...

    Cigarette lighter and ash trays

    Still want that feeling of flying while smoking, just hit a casino....smells like an ashtray! On another note, I have often wondered about removing my ashtrays from 1966 172 and save a few ounces of weight. Now i just use them to hold things like as pen

    Charleston S.C. Recommendations

    Hall's Chophouse ($$$$ but worth it) and 82 Queen for food! Crap, now I am hungry. Got to see the Aircraft carrier....fort Sumter sucks in my opinion.

    German Food Restaurant at East Coast Airport

    If that's the place I remember, the food was good, but if I recall, it had a real bad "smokers ashtray" smell to it. (former smoker so it bothers me)

    I feel weird (plane market)

    Wrongfully or rightfully, I always feel the opposite when it comes to Ol' Blue. I am like a proud dad that doesn't know his baby is ugly when I roll up in my $42k 1966 Cessna 172. I never understand why they don't roll out the red carpet for me at the FBOs like they do for the jets! I mean...
