Will have more on this soon, have to contact the guy that told me about them who really actually sounded like he used them from time to time. He owned and timed out (2) 300s after Korea and may not even be around anymore.

If in the last 30 years flying I had a dollar for every time some dufus questioned negatively the validity of both standard or advanced flight maneuvers that they didn't understand, couldn't properly perform, or were afraid of, I'd have like, a whole bunch of dollars! And if it included the same...

Good ideas, although wouldn't the future tense of those concerns matter more than the past?;)

Both is best, with a copy of the paper logs kept in a separate place, copied regularly, at least after each page is filled and all electronics backed up regardless of format preferred.

We consider them airports after a fashion... Is there a proper definition of an "airport"?

Do timberline mountain ledges, snow ridges and stream ravines count?

Been reading Couples Stretch as an APP on the iPhone with the wife. Has helped a lot with our various pains and better sleep.

Age isn't a prerequisite for ability however, the more hours go by in any pilot's airtime, the more likely they'll have additional info above the minimum required for any educational task. All other factors being equal, I'll go with the higher hours pilot.

Ya lost me...

Interesting. No, the 300 Hop maneuver is from a low hover to a quick set down such that all the shock absorbing springs are compressed and their stored energy then quickly used in the take off.

How does it affect the way you look at terrain while flying?

Nice ducking too!

It's good to be ethical but, especially on a part time basis, 15/15 on and off isn't necessarily a deal breaker assuming the prospective flight students are advised in advance. I went, and some students went two weeks between lessons many times. A big retention key is lots of hangar flying...

First one was very cool at 80, second one mid twenties and a bit of an AH, nothing to do with age. 3rd was mid 30s and cool, did 60 hours with him. Next was female chief CFII, with bigger Xwind ovaries than most guys flying there had nads and taught me more in practical terms. The next 50 some...

"You don't have to be a human UNIVAC to read the panel".... "landed as good as an airliner"... My FAVE is his daydream sequence where the woman is waving her scarf from the plane with somewhat evil loud laughter! Thanks for the video!
