Tim- You probably don't have to threaten to hard:) I alway love having family drop in for a visit! KPVG is my stomping grounds and think that would be your best bet. Is he Stationed at NOB (Navy I'm assuming)? If you and your Son have a minute we'll grab some lunch at the Blue Skies grill...

PP- I was an idiot then until I listed it having wondered the same thing. With the engine in the back the nosewheel has to stay down due to aft CG without a person in the cockpit. So you nor the designer are idiots:)..it's just a light and very efficient bird! Tony

FlyinRyan...Welcome buddy! I see you are in NC, if you fly into KPVG or the Norfolk area hit me up for lunch! Best of luck with your instrument training. Are you taking the checkride with Henry Joyner by chance? Tony

I've seen a lot of waste in the CG/Navy, and often wondered if all Govt agencies are rigged the same way. Waste is one thing, but what an idiot this guy is! I can't even imagine WTF he was thinking. As a LT(cmdr), it's not like he wasn't making good enough money to buy plane tickets to go...

BTT one more round! Great plane if someone is in the market for a Long-Ez.

A 30-06 has been on my mind! Will check the Remington out...thanks. Tony

One up on the fishing and spending a nice day with the family on any seaworthy vessel is a good day! Recently I've started brokering aircraft for a local company and have yet to make a sale. The time I put into it certainly competes with my flying time, but the people I'm meeting make it...

Bass Pro's gun department in Hampton, VA sucks IMO. It's so close I always go there and it was an impulse buy. My mom and pop stores here in Suffolk, VA are second to none. I love the Mossy Oak Ruger. I don't get that Plasticy feel off it and I thought maybe I would having grown up with the...

Cool another Coastie! I'm SAR controlling as we speak at Sector Hampton Roads. The Eagle was a German ship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USCGC_Eagle_(WIX-327) Sorry for thread hijack! OP, the Ruger 22 is a great choice for plinking! I recently paid a few extra $$ for the Mossy Oak...

If I'm flying on your dime you are PIC... I'll enjoy the flight and help out if needed. If you're flying on my dime, I am PIC and expect the same. Good on you for getting this hashed out on the ground!

I remember you did that last year also. Very nice of you! Tony

Blue Skies Grille at KPVG!

Got ya. I'd be curious to know if you get a FAR civil penalty does it go on your record, if you get the cert in the future. I hope it's a story with a happy ending, the guy has remorse, and repays restitution for property damaged. Tony
