I took my checkride with Pat Hill. Very nice guy. He really made me feel at ease instead of an interrogation like test. He's tough, but very fair. -Brian

If you are around KMYF in SD and want to grab a pint, let me know. On me! I live a mile from the airport. -Brian

Damn. I was supposed to go to VMWorld this year, but had to cancel last minute due to some issues at work that I have to attend to. -Brian

Yet they still kick more a$$ on stage than most bands half their age! They are one of the best live shows I have seen. -Brian

So Bruce Dickinson is at it again. Currently going through type training for a 747 in order to fly the band around on their next tour. That is some dedication! http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/iron-maiden-and-the-book-of-souls-go-jumbo-on-massive-2016-world-tour/ -Brian

Traffic sucks, I ride my Harley most days (Lane splitting is awesome). 2002 Tundra mostly sits but is good for hauling things around. 2010 M3 is for when I want to have some fun. -Brian

Rode a lot when I was a kid, stopped riding for a while, then picked up a 2012 FXS Harley Blackline. -Brian

Happened this morning. Conflicting reports of 3 or 4 dead depending on what article you read. Sounds like its been a rough weekend for GA. http://www.10news.com/news/police-say-airplane-on-fire-near-harvest-road-081615 -Brian

Touche on that point. But regardless of the latest tech, there are those that will always rely on in cockpit tech instead of eyes out the window. LORAN, VOR, ADBS, whatever the latest is. There have been some harsh slams in this thread about people advocating ADSB saying screw that crap, eyes...

Isn't it still incumbent on you to look out for them as well? You can't blame other pilots for not looking out the window when it is still a responsibility on you as a VFR pilot. What about NORDO pilots? They have no idea where you are other than visual separation, and I have had my share of...

Why is it that a topic like this is so divisive? If someone likes having the additional info of ADSB traffic alerts, why would you give them **** and try to persuade them to your point of view? If you don't like it, cool. If someone else does, cool. If someone elses opinion doesn't have an...

AVX is still IFR right now and the satellite view doesn't look too promising for me. :( Will keep an eye out though. -Brian

If weather cooperates and we all get to go, I want to know what time you guys expect to get to AVX. I want to get there before you guys so I can get some pictures! I will be in a Cessna 172, so can't tag along as it just won't keep up :) John, How do you guys train for formation flying...

Let's just hope these damn clouds go away. Today didn't even really burn off at all, and I have no desire getting caught out on Catalina with no way to get back to MYF and land :) -Brian
