    Should a CFI be allowed to teach CFII?

    Great write up and good decision making. November weather is always unpredictable and fast changing around here. We've been socked in up here in GFK since around 7 last night and it doesn't look to be getting any better. So much for my CFI checkride this afternoon...

    "Minnesota man put a bullet hole in passing plane"

    They don't a "Welcome to Climax" sign anymore since college kids kept stealing it. Climax is like 30min from UND.
