Why won't you men ever just ask for directions?

Boss assigned uniform. Keeps my my poor taste for coordinating clothes hidden :) Tim

Macaroni comes with cheese now????? Glad you had fun Rudy

Found ours in Trade-a-plane. Ive been solicited about 6 times by folks sending our cards from the FAA data base looking for 182s in my year. May have a buyer though from that and one on the filed who really likes it if I have to sell it this spring due to pay cuts at work :( Tim

You can get severe wave as high as FL 410.

Don, I would agree with your assessment that the islands in the Gulf are not real suitable for landing but they may provide a place to swim to if you can set down near them. They arent that big and look fairly rocky to me from the air. The water this time of year is generally pretty calm in...

Paul, Congrats to you and your wife on your new arrival. Kids are about the neatest thing around. I'm sure he'll love flying with you. Tim

We bought a 75 182P in Sep 2003 and love it. Can put the wife and son in, full tanks, and max out the baggage with about 100 pounds leftover. Our first and only plane we've owned. Tim

Ed, I live near Portland, OR and do a couple trips to North Dakota each year. If you're looking to see Ranier, Id go north to SEA along I-90 for your cascade crossing then south to see St Helens. If the weather isnt the greatest, go through the Columbia Gorge (watch out for the winds though...

Im just glad my wife didnt use something like this to rate me. Id still be single.....

Nick, Dont even worry about that. That will not come up. There are alot more other things employers look at like FAA/Driver license violations, experience, personality, work history etc. Heck, most the people doing the hiring at the airlines arent even pilots and have NO clue what it takes...
