I like P&P and Flying, but if I had to choose, probs P&P. "I learned about flying from that" and the Dick Karl articles in Flying are pretty good though

I know for a fact that the Navy and the Air Force accept laser eye surgery, but I can guarantee that the Navy only allows PRK (wikipedia it!). If I were you, I would also consider applying to the Navy's BDCP program during your sophomore/junior year of college. If you get into the program...

life is a game of mistakes. minimize them. boom.

I think that compared to other countries, we have it prettttty good. Imagine filing a mandatory vfr flight plan to practice maneuvers for 30 minutes over huge fields (among other things), I know a couple pilots (including myself) that would ***** about that. But I think the bottom line is that...

just thought you should know that i think that bad-girl is a piece of beauty! your writeup reminded me of homeward bound. haha. no but really best of luck with the next break-in and getting it home!

and i wouldn't really sweat the technique on that one, you did your job, but maybe just let your club know about it. You know?

Are you talking about Hanscom Aero Club? Their policies are complete garbage...after reading their book for about 3 minutes i realized they run the place like a prison camp, it's rediculous. You should go to East Coast Aero Club on the other side of the airport instead. Great people, great...

i think its more like $1000 AND a hearing, but thats still an assload of cash for a silly badge.

News to me, unless maybe it was for people who parked their planes at north/south/wherever parking. Were you parked there? I didn't and still don't have a yellow badge, and I've never been confronted about it. However, I DID have a Red Badge because I worked at Wings, but when I was flying, I...

yeah, I used to work at a flight school (wings aloft at KBFI), and one day 4 people from Europe came and checked out in our two 182s for a two week adventure in Alaska. Well, one of them botched a landing, collapsed the gear, and totaled one of the 182s. Thank god no one was hurt, but it...

hm i guess that's what those blank columns in my logbook are for then.. hahah

hahah that is too funny. I'm all for people learning how to fly and all, but forget handpropping, this kid shouldn't be flying in the first place. I mean, yeah, it's true. You should turn it backwards when you don't want the prop to slice your arm off. They would have been there all...
