There is a lot of cynicism here, mostly from people who have the hole in their wallets from experience. I took my first lesson at 57 in September 2020 (full-blown covid) and immediately wanted to do the things you mentioned. I had the same idea(s). Getting a commercial rating is the only way to...

I've shot golf before. They are tricky to hit. Sadly, don't cook well. Maybe add more salt.

This reminds me of a bit of a comical/semi-serious event that touches all of the above. My son was overseas on an extended sightseeing tour courtesy of Uncle Sam when his grandfather passed so when he was home for a visit I rented a plane from the flight school I had my training and we flew...

But was it weightless? If a plane weighed nothing, would it slow down in a dive?

Your hair is a little greyer.

This guy tried to sell me a coffin. I said "that's the last thing I need."

I flew same plane on the Thursday prior with zero issues.

Yes, there was a set on the other side. As PIC I deemed that not a good practice for a x-ctry passing thru several Class C and in ATL TRACON. If I had already departed and it broke then it would have been a backup for getting home, but having not even moved it was a no go for me.

Admittedly been looking at P2's for a while. Now it's moving up on the priority list.

Sounds almost like an HOA! But the bottom line is not so bad. So, yeah, you got that going for ya.

I won't be naming names or places, but two weeks ago, a business meeting with some important customers scheduled for today landed in my inbox. I accepted it and considered making the trip worthwhile without a hotel stay. It's a 4-hour drive one way, and the meeting was scheduled for at least 3...

A comic genius. He received a Grammy in 1961 for a comedy album, and a few awards along the way, then an Emmy for his small and recurring role in The Big Bang Theory. It's great that a new generation was shown true fun comedy by such a skilled comedian. It's worth going online and finding the...

I've been to Cayman.

I found this interesting. Not much sticktoitiveness, but Universal Hydrogen did get a flight in before saying bye. Quoting from the article: "Universal Hydrogen apparently won’t get the chance to fly its plane again. Last week, the Los Angeles–based company informed shareholders that Universal...

Tiggers love to bounce, t's the thing they do best!

I read the article—well, as much as I could stomach. The author (from NY) makes every effort to expose his vapid jealousy and huge T D S. But I'm not political.

Exactly. I'm only following the thread because it's interesting to see how incompetence keeps getting rewarded.

Congratulations! you have joined a long and distinguished line of former customers. I rented from Enterprise in June of 2005 for a business trip of approx 300 miles one way, meet that afternoon, next morning, then drive back. The car was not ready when I got there, waited for 90 minutes to get...
