If Superior and Louisville have their way, BJC will be closed and the hangars can be demolished for apartment buildings, no need to move them.

The cats poop out what they cannot digest and the dogs eat the cat poop. Nature recycles! But as a dog owner, it's funny hearing about picky-eater cats. Dogs sniff something, determine it's rotting, stinky, and nasty and then eat it, since it might be food. If it's not food, you can always...

If you're interested in Summit County take a look at Copper Mountain. If you buy a multi-day pass it's around $150/day once the Xmas/New Year holidays are over (still not cheap, but probably $25/day less than Breck/Keystone multi-day tickets). If your group is looking for nightlife, I'd stay...

4.5 hours Denver to Leadville? Roundtrip maybe, but not one way.

Probably because the $775 is for a involuntarily denied boarding, while the $10k is a voluntary denied boarding. The DOT tracks each airlines' involuntary denied boardings but not voluntary.

A lot of people don't realize this. They think their homeowner's deductible is $2000 or whatever, then after the hailstorm they find out that the roof has a different deductible. Around Denver, few houses are less than $500,000 anymore, so your 2% roof deductible can easily be $10,000-$12,000...

Listening to the tower, he had done a touch and go on the south runway, and asked for a full stop so he was switched to the north runway (12L). He had turned from base to final and then it looks like he turned to the north to land on the road as if he had a engine problem or something. He...

There are still a few 747 simulators -- Boeing, Atlas, UPS, Kalitta all still have them. But those are all 747-400 or -800, and the current Air Force One is a 747-200. The Air Force used (10+ years ago) to train at United Airlines, but United long ago got rid of their 747-200 simulator, so I'm...

That is why the brake job is $1200. They aren't making a lot of money on that oil change, 6 quarts of oil and an oil filter is probably $35, but it gets you into the shop to sell you brake jobs.

This isn't a river cruise, but they are small sailing cruise ships: https://www.starclippers.com/us-dom/

When the nuts were claiming that anything with a computer chip would stop working after Y2K, I was hoping they would be right since I had an old, old, old car with no electronics (carbureted, mechanical points, etc.). I would make a fortune as the only transportation in town. Alas, they were...

Am I the only one who imagined this when reading this:

You're correct on that. I just don't want anyone to get the idea a stale engineering degree is a guaranteed job, especially in a down market.

:yeahthat: If a furloughed pilot with an engineering degree they haven't used for 5 to 10 years applied, my company wouldn't hire them. Especially when you know they'll be gone as soon as recall starts. Maybe in the current labor market you could find an engineering job, but not in a downturn...

Oldmanb777 nailed this one. Before I'd buy another STR, I'd do a lot research on the local climate towards them. One town in CO reduced the maximum number of STR licenses they will allow by 20%. Anyone with a license can keep it, but if you buy a property with the intent of renting it, you'll...

I see old guys with metal detectors on the gulf beaches in Florida whenever we are there. There are usually 2 or 3 guys searching the beach and in water a day. I've talked to a few of them and they all say they usually only find some change and cheap jewelry, but every one "knows a guy" who...

Condit definitely wasn't great -- maybe better than Stonecipher at best. Condit made the initial decisions on the 787 to outsource most of the construction (more than any previous Boeing model) which turned out to be a disaster for the program. He moved Boeing's headquarters from Seattle to...

I have the Garmin Forerunner so I get the best of both worlds: I get steps when I fly, and if I walk near a runway it will automatically log approaches with the plane's Garmin avionics.

It wasn't the engineer Johnson or the President Johnson, the tunnel was named after Edwin Johnson, the senator and governor of Colorado from the 1930s through the 1950s.

Check out Keystone in Colorado. They have good beginner terrain for your kids starting out, the village has shops, a huge outdoor skating rink, restaurants, tubing hills. If you want a change of pace for skiing Arapahoe Basin is close too (but no lodging there). Lift tickets will run you...
