I briefly skimmed over every reply on this thread but this is my experience: I am red/green color deficient. I never had to do a SODA and have no limitations on my certificate and I am able to get a first class medical no problem. I was told by the AME that I could fly commercially (airlines)...

Do some research on the Maule, either the M5 or M7. You can get them tailwheel or tricycle. Sound like it would meet your mission and maybe if you're patient you could find one in your price range. They've got a great stall speed and cruise speed and a useful load of around 1000 pounds.

Looks like everyone is OK. Mike seems pretty beat up about it. I can't imagine seeing years and years of labor and planning going down the drain so quickly.

I was the same way as well. My problem was I couldn't hold altitude turning left for some reason. I started watching the attitude indicator and kept the plane right on the horizons and nailed it every time

I got my private through a 141 school (not sure if you know or not, 141 is a more structured syllabus, 61 is a little more free flowing, one is not better than the other - just different) and now I'm attending Auburn University's flight school, so right now I'm earning all my ratings and also...

Yea I know, but it was THAT plane that I saw at all the airshows growing up

I'm not sure. I did my training at Eglin at the Aero Club. Only guy at destin I know is Andy.

I was in N4351R. Both FBOs are owned by Lynx and the flight school is owned by VERTOL. I believe they still have most of the same planes

I wish, but they did have a nice ocean blue Bentley for some of the higher class visitors!

Never had a problem with it, but if you're posting here I'm assuming you have your instrument rating, which means you can fly with all the windows blocked off with a blanket or something along those lines. It's legal, I promise... just don't check the FARs

Here ya go! Didn't get any great pics but its something

Had one of the best flights of my career today. Flew one of Destin's (DTS) C172M over to Jack Edwards (JKA) in Gulf Shores and it was an absolutely incredible flight. It was a friends boyfriend's birthday (evan) so she asked if I could take him for a flight, so my girlfriend and I and those two...

That's sad. I just flew over Fat Albert over pensacola the other day. Wish I could have gone and seen the last flight

That's reassuring. I obviously know what I'm doing but part of me feels like I am absolutely not capable of that lol

Alright Gentlemen. I'm pleased to announce that I passed my instrument checkride on the 19th. Everything went smoothly for the most part. I had the same examiner and he wasn't as much of a wang as he was last time but I think that's just due to the fact I didn't do a whole lot to set him off. I...

I might have to look into that. I know a majority of the other students in the program have a problem with him as well.

No I don't. Just thought it'd be a distraction to bring my Stratus with me.

You're right. I've had instructors who have gotten defensive and I've had to correct them. I always do ask questions. I'm a "why" type of person. And if I know somethings right I won't have a problem bringing it up with an instructor, but like you said when it's the DPE telling me something is...

I mentioned a few posts ago I went direct DRYDN then direct TGE Nope. I flew out bound for about two minutes so I'd have time to get situated and make sure I didn't forget anything

No worries lol. We're just passionate about flying!
