I like your style, Dude.

Is it ever worth it to buy an airplane with a high time close to overhaul engine?

Learjet.

Hi there. I recently started flying again after not having flown in over ten years. It's definitely not been like starting over for me. When I stopped I had about 50 hours and was almost ready for the check-ride. I've flown around 6 hours in the last few weeks and am already signed off for solo...

Cool, thanks for the responses. I've been really hoping to find something at PDX, since i'll likely be living very close. The airport in Vancouver is also pretty close, though I expect traffic could be an issue going over the bridge. (I hate traffic...) They have very nice rental rates there, i...

I'm considering moving to Portland and will be living close to PDX. It seems Flightcraft is the only FBO and I don't think they rent GA airplanes. Does anyone know if they, or anyone else at PDX, rents aircraft? Thanks.

Do you fly one of those small pilot planes?

Well if you smoke enough pot "flying passengers" might have a totally different meaning...

Obviously no one should fly or operate any vehicle while intoxicated by any substance, but higher cancer risk from weed than cigarettes? Just not true.

Yup Rouge makes great beer. I'm Lucky to have one of the Rogue Breweries about half a block from where I work. (Eugene City Brewery). They're main brewery is out at the coast in Newport and is a great stop for lunch. You walk through the main brew room to get to the restaurant where you have a...

I started flying again this week. I don't know how I lived without it for so long! After my first hour I can tell the one hour per year rule of thumb will be just about right. In some ways it was easy and like I never left the air, but overall I can tell it will take at least ten hours or so...

I just took the test and all I needed was my drivers license, sign-off, calculator, E6B, and plotter. They provide everything else. (They want you to use the pencils they provide.) Also, make sure your ID has your current address. I got a very good score and I attribute it to doing LOTS of...
