And yet NJ gas is still cheaper than a lot of other places (especially NY). There are times when it's nice to have your gas pumped (without a ridiculous extra per-gallon like you'd get for "full" service in self-serve states), like when it's freezing and you don't want to get out of the car...

I haven't seen any sort of blimp congregation at Solberg but there was almost always a blimp there last summer (I was training out of nearby Somerset and you could see Solberg from the pattern, not to mention all the landings we did there). It would always be on the big grassy area west of the...

If the old PC is still bootable, I think (I haven't done it myself) that you can go into Device Manager and remove the drivers for stuff on the motherboard/chipset so that Windows will use generic drivers on the next bootup, which would take place after you've swapped hardware. Windows would...

Varig Log 727: TAP A310:

My club will be putting Artex ME406s in two of the planes in the near future and doing the third next year with the same.

I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.

Take a break. I prefer to get out of the building and walk around a bit but that's a much less appealing option in winter or when it's raining. In that case I either load up a couple of non-programming websites and read those or go over to the kitchen/break room and have a snack or a soda away...

1) Finally take up some passengers! (I got my PPL in November and the weather here's been uncooperative ever since.) 2) Get the instrument rating 3) Take a glider flight (and maybe pursue a glider add-on)

I was taught that you should be at pattern altitude while on the 45. Ideally, you'd start a descent so that you'd arrive on the 45 at pattern altitude, rather than maneuvering around to lose altitude there, but definitely not being 5-8 miles out.

I've heard from other sources that the 767 isn't a permanent thing but it'll back a couple of times in January due to demand (the inauguration).

They say "partly cloudy" here tonight. Depending on how "partly" that is, I might drive out to the airport, which is the only dark & open place I know of where I can be sure I'm not going to get chased out of.

Around 7:45, there was a fairly long line. Not quite out the front doors but close. I decided that rather that wait in that line I'd just go back on my way home from work, when it's probably a lot shorter and I don't have to be anywhere. I miss how it was last (presidential) election. I was...

My best guess is that the one down the runway is on his takeoff roll and the one of the piano keys was cleared to "position and hold". Listening the LiveATC streams for some of these airports it's not uncommon to hear a controller clear one plane for takeoff, get an acknowledgment, and then...

Actually, looks like anything over 10gph is included in the benefator $$, so it's only the first 10 gph that we're on the hook for. I think I'd be happy with a PC-12.
