I have a better alternative that would save the taxpayers a ton of money. How about going on Ebay and buying up all the "X-ray Glasses" that they used to advertise in "Boys Life" when I was a kid? Heck, that kid in the grainy picture was getting quite an eyeful. That old cougar was a real...

What Al Pacino did in Scent of a Woman. I would keep my eyes open in the Ferrari.

Gary, Thanks. That was the other route I was looking to file. I was puzzled by the LRP V210 BUNTS on Fltpln.com. Seems like a lot of real estate between BUNTS and KMJX but then again I am new to the IFR game. And yes, I am /G.

I am (hopefully) flying from KTHV to KMJX this Saturday. I will be filing IFR but this is my first trip through Philly. Looking at recent planned ATC routes on Fltpln.com I see LRP V210 BUNTS. What can I expect to hear as I approach BUNTS? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I echo the thoughts on this one. I don't know if I would have made a joke about a "discount price" to the owner. Too many .44's out there. I know of a certain interaction in a group hanger between an innocent new ***** and a ##### being backed-in by his owner with a tug. The story did...

And it does not involve a guy named Orville or Wilber. Last week my dear wife took a short 20 minute flight with me from ONX down the coast a bit. She said that she would fly with me after I got my instrument rating and she was true to her word. Other than it being hotter than Hades in the...

Frankly, the $30 some odd bucks a month I pay for the XM Aviator Light is some of the best aviation money that I have spent so far. This weekend I flew down to the Outer Banks using my new IR. On the trip down there was a nice big cell over HPW. I asked for a deviation 30 some miles out to...

Finally got the monkey off my back and passed the IR ride today. Yahoo! In the end it was not as big a deal as I feared, other than the fact that it was a freakin' oven in the plane. Oral was about 1.5 hours but no big surprises. Was on top of the facts but learned a few things, which was...

Teacher, teacher I know the answer to this one! Not too good. Learned this as a student doing touch and gos. Oops, no one told me students were not allowed to do touch and gos. I make a mistake every flight. Fortunately none too major. Learn from each one and have not made the same one...

Loran chain goes down so we have some dead weight in the middle of the panel of the 'ol Cherokee 140. I offer up my 396 to the team and we split the installation of the 396. What a difference the external antenna makes. Green bars pop up all across the screen as soon as the power goes on...

First post. I note many posts from a certain "Flyersfan31". Apparently this guy married some trusting soul who lets him fly his Matix all over God's Creation while she burns the midnight oil. What a scam. Meanwhile I have to work 60 hours a week and can only afford a 1/3 share in a 68...
