    Wash and Wax's??

    I use polyglide (http://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/information/products/PolyGlide_Polish_(one_gal.).html) on my 172 and it rocks! Its not cheap (I did not get mine at Sporty's, but can't find another link now..), but a little bit goes a LONG way. I liked it soo much, I used it on my car...

    Is this a Part 135 Operation?

    LOL - I wish. It was nice for an old married guy like me to spend some quality time with a very pretty (and quite intelligent and accomplished) young woman!

    Is this a Part 135 Operation?

    I tried to do this same thing with a local FBO in Northern MN - They would not touch it with a 10 foot pole. The said they had been "busted" in the past, and would not do it. I had asked to rent/fly one of their 172s to an airport about 15 miles away to get back to my car after dropping my...

    that exact thing happened to me! After it was all over, I relized it was just a NWA DC10 Sim - LOL I did get to log the sim time though! :)

    A Cirrus Taxi?

    Gay Pilots?

    I _think_ Gary is trying to avoid stumbling into a "war of the sexes" type of discussion/argument. (Kind of like the hornets nest I kicked with the political poll - LOL) S.

    POLL: Liberal or Conservative?

    Bill - Whoa! don't get me wrong, I am NOT forcing a label on anyone. It is just curiosity on my part! Please realize this poll means nothing, and is just idle curiosity. It is in NO WAY ment as "flame bait." It was also not my intention that folks come out in the messages as either one way...

    POLL: Liberal or Conservative?

    Toby - True, but I believe one, if forced, can label themselves as either a conservative or liberal. As I said, I hold many beliefs that are liberal, but I still believe I am mostly a conservative person. I'm about as middle of the road, gray, person as you would ever meet. Live and let live.

    POLL: Liberal or Conservative?

    yes, I know. That would peg me as well, but it is more interesting to narrow the choices. Unfortunately, life is not black and white, but my poll can be! :)

    POLL: Liberal or Conservative?

    This was inspired from another thread, and I was wondering what most people in this site consider themselves. I have limited the number of choices to two, just to force people to make a black or white choice. I know this is unrealistic, it is a spectrum, but it makes tallying the results...

    Gay Pilots?

    Definition: Abnormal behavior — Behavior that is maladaptive and harmful Not to stir anything up, but I doubt that homosexuality fits the definition for abnormal psych. Normalcy is defined by the majority view, and I suspect homosexuality does not fit the current classic definition of...

    DVD home movie editing question

    Depends on what the VOB is. VOBs are usually multiplexed dolby digital audio streams and MPEG-2 video, and usually are encrypted. If it has standard chapters and "extra" goodies like DVDs, then you can use DVD-Shrink (http://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html) to edit and re-author it. Take a look at...

    Gay Pilots?

    Your still a pilot, right? Thats all that matters in this community. We may bicker on lots of stuff, but are all united by the love of flying. I have a good friend that I found out was gay, and he was very scared to tell me. It came out by accident, and all is cool. My wife and I invited him...

    radar

    I know of one instance of a bat hitting a T-37-B at 8,000 feet. Higher than I would have guessed. I believe you are seeing the "clear air mode" of the doppler radar. In this mode the radar is set to its most sensitive and gets lots of echos from dust, etc.. S.
