    Feline Infectious Peritonitis

    Has anyone dealt with this before with their kitties? I was advised by the vet today to reach out to a group of FIP experts and “Do whatever they tell me to do.” Our sweet boy has been lethargic and lost his appetite for several days now, and the FIP folks have told us to start treatments as...

    Jim Tweto 1954-2023

    Jim Tweto of "Flying Wild Alaska" fame flew west today. He was exactly in real life as he was on the show; warm, honest, hardworking, and kind. I only had the privilege to meet him a handful of times, but he was always happy to offer a warm cup of coffee and shoot the breeze when passing through...

    Electronic Logbook questions

    Hey guys, I’m wondering if anyone knows of an electronic logbook that will allow you to enter times like starting from a previous logbook. I would like to switch to electronic, but I do not want to have to go back and upload all of my other stuff from previous logbooks. I’d rather just keep...

    Caravan down outside of Seattle

    https://www.heraldnet.com/news/report-small-plane-crashes-near-snohomish/ Wing separated from the airplane, will be very interesting to find out what happened. Wings don’t just fall off Caravans, they’re a stout bird. RIP to the deceased.

    How does someone like this pass an IPC or a BFR?

    This is a rough watch, because this guy probably shouldn't even be driving a car. This is how poor metroliner pilots get run over.

    Reopen the SZ

    Let’s face it - We are in the middle of a global crisis that will change life as we know it. Math and facts are even considered political now in this hyper-partisan environment, and it is impossible to have a discussion about COVID-19 without in inevitably being political. Reopen the SZ to...

    "Is this legal" thread - pt 134 1/2 or not?

    Lets say hypothetically speaking there was an aircraft that was owned by an LLC. The aircraft was available for rent. A lodge wanted to rent the airplane to fly clients out to a hunting camp, but they didn't have a pilot. The hunting lodge found a pilot to do the flying, and he was employed by a...

    Zulu 3 reviews?

    I'm looking at going from the PFX back over to the Zulu line...most of my legs are quite short (30 mins-hour) and all of the setup time on the PFX I kinda feel is wasted time. All the planes I fly have panel power (my PFX does NOT have the bose plug) so I would be changing to that as well. What...

    Has anyone ever lived in Hawaii?

    Any good recommendations on where to live? Nothing is set in stone, far from it in fact. I really want to live in a place that I can drink mojitos on a sandy beach year round though.

    Citizen watches?

    Anyone have any experience with them? I recently purchased one on an impulse without doing much research and like it - but do they last? Seems to be a functional and affordable watch (I've never owned a watch before) and it looks good with the uniform.

    You can grow up or be a pilot, but not both.

    This was in fact confirmed today by my laughing fit upon scratching down the ending hobbs today.

    All metal electric razor? (N/A)

    I'm looking for something like the Braun series 7, but I refuse to pay almost $200 for a plastic gadget that feels like a cheap POS. Does anyone know of an all metal alternative, preferably made in the US (or Atleast not China)?

    Requirements to be a ferry pilot?

    I recently changed jobs and once again have 15 consecutive days off a month, along with CASS and all the associated travel benefits. I have been considering doing ferry pilot stuff when I'm not at my "real" job. My question is - what kind of times are most ferry pilots at? I have the vibe that I...

    I've noticed that live chat has gone by the wayside. Damn shame.
