I’ll try to make a long story short. I struggled to pass my IFR checkride...failed it twice before finally passing it the third time. It didn’t come easily to me, obviously. The extra tests (and related training) took me far, far over my budget and when all was said and done I had an IFR ticket...

I read the book, and saw the movie. Intense...real.

reading all of this reminds me why I don't like large gatherings of people.

With PETA it's not even about the intention. It's about how much publicity you can generate. And this one certainly got a lot of people talking.

SoCal Approach, Piper xxxxx, level five thousand five hundred. Done. Nothing more. If climbing I say, three thousand two hundred climbing five thousand five hundred. Don't use the word "to" because it could be misinterpreted as "two" and then added to my altitude I'm climbing to. And...

I just don't think anyone can focus on shopping locally anymore. I wanted a used Microsoft Flight Simulator X...type it in, there it is...18 bucks...one-click purchase...thank you very much...took all of 2 minutes. I went into Game Stop once.....they didn't have anything...

I was flying from El Monte, California to North Las Vegas. First time transitioning through Bravo airspace. We were all studied up and expecting the Rocks 1 arrival...and then the Las Vegas tower decided to give us vectors to fly. Tower: Cherokee 6794J...fly heading 030... 6794J: flys...
