Don't forget to turn on the field lights (and recycle them every time or two around). It's awful tough to find a dark runway at minimums through the clouds! And what everyone else said about the strobe/landing light. Much much easier with them both off until you break out! If you start feeling...

We Colorado people have an understanding...

It most certainly is not abandoned! The EAS service they have is going to change hands very soon, but I've flown that service on two different fleet types and know the airport all too well. The Guard has a huge presence there, and while it's certainly no VNY, GA does seem to be alive and well...

Sounds like fun. Sorry I couldn't make it! Hopefully next time...

All of the orbiter ferry flights will be with NASA905 now; 911 was retired a month or two ago. 905 doesn't have much life left in her, either, unfortunately...

Anyone around tomorrow, 4/15 (Sun), night? We're SUPPOSED to land at PNE at 1910 (always subject to change). I'd love to get dinner/a drink with any of you who are around!

Terrific! I have to watch that at least once a year to make sure I can still quote it at opportune moments. Unfortunately, not enough people have seen it yet!

That was kind of my thought. Sounds like it's just an unpaid ferry/demo pilot. Maybe I'm just jaded...

:idea:

How late do y'all figure on being out there? I have a "prior commitment" at noon, but if you're going to be at FTG for a while, I might try to stop by.

I'm not an expert, but isn't that holding out? FAA, FAA!!! :)

They have one of those at Udvar-Hazy in IAD. It's a monster of an airplane!

It's definitely not good. All Saabs gone by August (?), all Qs gone by November. 14 RJs getting parked starting in Jan. 74 planes off property by next spring. Early estimates are at least 600-800 pilots on the street (furlough), and at least as many FAs being outright fired. Who knows how many...

Wow, that seems appropriate.

I would have said an oxygen rich atmosphere is #1, but Tony can be #2. :yesnod:

:yeahthat: If you don't want to pay for a $90 lens cover, or whatever those cost, just stick a pair of sunglasses in front of the lens. Should get you well on your way.

Just the stock Android "Voice Recorder," it's called. You have to be careful, with the voice recorder running (at least on my phone) the screen only dims, but doesn't shut off. VERY easy to accidentally bump it and stop the recording. Also be careful about hitting the little button on the mic if...

Now now, play nice... :nono: :)

Haha, at least you're polite enough to say you could insult me, but then to not ACTUALLY insult me. :D The used to come in to IWA once every month or two while I was down there; hauling industrial generators. They'd land on the outboard runway, taxi to the far numbers and shut down. And there...

At all things engineering, aerodynamics, science, and aviation - most decidedly yes. At typing...apparently not. :rofl: The people who boss us both around? HA, no worries, but thanks for standing up for me, Tony. I think I actually did refer to myself in that way when talking to Kim. I...
