    The FBO asked me: "Why are pilots so cheap"

    Yeah! I get it. Situations like mine just show how ludicrous it is. Same airframe, different fuel. That's it. What is even more ludicrous is that...

    The FBO asked me: "Why are pilots so cheap"

    Should I Fly the Arrow?

    Beechcraft didn't think it was silly. They actually did that for a time in Musketeers, and may even have offered that option in the Sundowner....

    I never fail anything...until today

    With all due respect, failing a test to which all of the answers have been provided in advance is, well, unimpressive and undeserving of sympathy....

    Should I Fly the Arrow?

    10 hours? For an Arrow? And you already had the complex endorsement and 15 in an RG? That seems excessive to me. Like, over-the-top excessive....

    KPNE information please

    I think JetCenter is more reasonable. Check latest prices. Since I am local I only go there for Angel Flights but in my limited experience I have...

    What do you folks think of the new Cessna TTx

    One man's opinion, but, I trained on an Archer, instead of a 172, in no small part due to my thinking that push/pull knobs seemed antiquated vs a...

    Sat in a few planes today

    The CFI who did my transition training in the Matrix was 6'7", 280. No joke. He fit in the copilot seat but I am not sure how he did it.

    And whatever happened to scrawling funny pictures with Sharpies on Ted while he sleeps? Progress indeed.

    Passed the IR written today...what a ridiculous test.

    Oil Canned Wings

    I didn't know Malibu's were this impressive.

    The passenger experience in any PA46 is vastly more enjoyable than that of a SR22. Compare the back seat of a VW Beetle to that of a stretch limo.
