I realize this person was mentally ill, suffering. But they were “together” enough to hold down an aviation related job. It’s horrible to subject scores of others to one’s public, bloody, violent suicide. It forces the victim’s pain into others. Scars them.

Many come to mind. Tucson- hacienda del sol. Sedona- l’auberge de Sedona Furnace creek (Death Valley NP)- furnace creek inn McClellan-Palomar- cormorant or many others in La Jolla Monterrey (or Marina if the small airport component is more important- for a Charlie, MRY is super GA...

It appeared the “pogoing” had resolved. Realize they shouldn’t have been in a PIO situation in the first place, but after bounce settled, did they even need to go around? (To state what’s likely obvious, I’m a piston guy, no turbine experience)

Youth is wasted on the young. Thanks for your service. Sorry neither of us learned guitar at age 17

Puppies and horses almost aren’t sporting. Too easy

When you’re ready, get on the apps. Get yourself in a good place, first. Network as folks suggested- interest groups. Volunteer- church, scouts, food banks, meals on wheels, etc. Group hikes or runs, climbs or paddles or trivia night. Whatever spins your prop. All those things put you in a...

There are transient tie downs on the apron by the “terminal” and self serve 100ll pumps There’s a good cafe- pilot light- on the field, closes at 2pm. Kinda breakfast/lunch brunch sorta place, patronized by locals as well as pilots. Numerous restaurant choices a short walk south- that area...

I’ve been reading,learning from, appreciating and enjoying your posts since the old red board days. I had been wanting to glide, and finally did, with Tom last summer- kinda hoped I’d meet you, too, then. Will continue to seek out your posts. Godspeed

That Bo is still flying, almost 60 years on.

Fly into Asheville, tons of hike in the blue ridge and great smokies. Numerous places where one can start atop the ridge. Some of my faves- panthertown valley. Deep creek, newfound gap NE towards mt Le conte, roan mtn.

My experience has been similar. I’m average sized (5’9”, 150#) and my “new lsa” experience is 15ish hours in an evaktor SportStar and a demo flight in a similar plane. The light wing loading made it less enjoyable for a XC for me than a 152 or a skipper. I’ve never flown a 140, but have...

scouting surveys of parents of members, and potential members- showed parents wanted an organization which catered to and included their daughters, as well as their sons BSA reached out to GSA and asked if they were interested in integration in some form- they weren’t (as others have noted...

Scouting is important andf fantastic. And there are many places where it is thriving. San Francisco, for example (contrary to the hype from a certain news org which claims to be balanced, but isn't) Troop 14, the oldest troop with the same sponsor west of the Mississippi River is 110 years...

An inspiration to many. Godspeed, colonel. Thanks.

In the small city where I grew up (as a WASP), I had no role models for what I wantted to do. No one doing scientific reseach. Docs were mostly doing stuff which, while important, didn't seem very creative. I didn't know how to figure out what I wanted to do with my professional life, until...

When this tragedy occurred, I was just resuming flying after a 12 year haitus. Now, I'm finally taking instrument ground school-and we covered approaches, including circle to land, last week. This thread, and the input from the posters here, is very helpful to me, as one who has done a total...

@IK04 we’re fortunate to have so much open space in the Bay Area. I’ve run the ridge line from Pt Reyes NS to highway 17- in segments, of course- with the only gap being the the SF watershed closed to foot traffic. You’re a mtn biker?

where'd you go? Ocean beach? Stinson? I'm on 28th ave in teh sunset-feel free to hit be up for a beer at Java Beach if you go to Ocean beach...

This performative bovine waste needs to stop. Towns need to stop passing dumb nuclear free zone nonsense. This is worse though. This is state legislatures pandering to nonsense conspiracies
