Agree with others here. Wx changed unexpectedly, I assume change precluded scud running which is a whole nother ball of poo. So, I’m thinking in this situation, I’m picking up the clearance, declaring the big “E”, and getting down. Yeah going to have a form or two and get to talk to some...

Attached happened at my home base last year. The amphibious probably wasn’t tied down well and flipped onto the Skylane. Both total loss. Sadly the Skylane was owned by a jump school that was finally starting to see profits. Probably wipe them out. Still nothing compared to OMA. My heart...

Seems like a logical vehicle parking rule.

Run! Dude, just run!

Getting realll close to retirement. My boss loves hauling passengers. I prefer root canal. So we developed the mantra, “I fly gear, he flys rears.” I would absolutely love to fly someone’s pampered pooch though! Not sure how receptive my boy would be sharing the back seat though.

I feel absolutely feel like poo when I just flat spot a tire being overly aggressive on the binders. I can’t imagine that hollow feeling in your gut after parking her on the active! I do NOT fly retracts, so pardon my ignorance, but ain’t there some kinda warning buzzer/light/slap upside the...

My “back seat flyer”.

Horrifying! RIP, condolences to friends and family…

Can I fly right seat?

I beseech every deity there is to NEVER allow caffeine to be a banned, heck controlled, substance! It’s literally my only vice. If you measured it on the same scale as alcohol, yes I realize it isn’t, .24 would be just hitting functional for me. I have a coffee pot next to the bed timed to be...

Well, all righty then! Blue skys…

Saying my opinion was excessive and dismissing me without any dialogue as to why struck me as condescending/rude. Maybe I did misunderstand or misinterpreted that track, but I wasn’t serious about ATC jumping from the tower and thought that would be self evident. Had you taken a minute to...

I think you’re being a little excessive in your assessment of how much I value your opinion.

That overlay is crazy! A ten hour, pre solo, student in a c-150, in a hurricane could fly a better approach after chugging a bottle of Robitussin!(sp?). Surprised they weren’t jumping from the tower!

I love the idea of flying in, or is it on, a balloon. However, surrendering so much control to Mother Nature just don’t appeal so much. Probably don’t understand it enough. I think im going to stick to slipping the bonds of Earth in something not squishy! Seriously glad all these folks are...
