Good grief. Nevermind. I guess I'm stupid. But somehow I and every pilot I've ever known magically managed to not get run into by someone else in flight just because we didn't get FF before engine start. It must be some kind of pure random coincidence since no atc communication = unconditional...

Seriously? Seriously? Why not get an onboard fighter radar so you can see every little plane in the sky for miles and miles? Just because you're not talking to ATC doesn't mean you're going to die or anything. Just means you're not talking to anyone and taking care of yourself. It's not...

Turn your transponder on and mode C and let their radar tell them where you're at. No radio communication necessary. I never used FF except when going through or right next to/over someone's busy airspace just to be polite and not mess things up for them. Otherwise I'm quite capable of...

Some instructions should just be left to Mr. Darwin. This is one of them:

Maybe I am. I went to the supermarket and bought the dreaded 12 pack of flour tortillias of mass destruction with it. Then I went to the bank. Did you know they have button and slot covered boxes mounted to the walls at banks designed specifically to fund the turrists 24 hours a day? Maybe we...

Oh great. Now US issued currency is now an indicator of terrorism. Theory: More terrorists die today from choking to death on their pizza's laughing hysterically at what we do to ourselves than they do blowing themselves up. They got one heck of a good investment on having about a dozen...

How can deliberately shooting at someone be reckless conduct? It's nothing short of attempted murder.

I wonder what would happen if you went out and shot at the neighbors car when they were pulling into the driveway to scare the people in the car?

152 is dirt simple to fly. 152 is the slowest of the batch. If you want to build time, slower is better to the same far distant destinations.

How much damage can a glider do to a nuke plant? Scratch the bird poop off the paint? It looks to me like he did remember 9-11. He didn't fly an airliner into a city. That whole 9-11 thing was over a decade ago. Just a thought however maybe it's about time people start forgetting about...

And today the two companies who are in competition against each other across the street raise/lower their prices to the same exact amount within seconds of each other. They're not in competition, they're in cahoots with each other.

In my parents attic is an Esso tanker truck. It was a toy then. Probably a collectors item now like most of the stuff up there.

Better yet. Don't do anything. Keep talking about how she got you for a week. Then the next time she goes to take a shower, kinda follow along and stop at the end of the hall with a silly dumb looking grin on your face like you're up to something. The paranoia level alone should be adequate...

That explains it. I know of a few gun ranges right across the streets from schools. Heck, my old high school and quite a few others have gun ranges inside them. Granted it's been decades however those ranges were in use daily during school hours. Wonderful. That brings it right back to the...
