    Agreed. There are many WONDERFUL sushi places around the area, but Sushi Deli is one of the tops.

    In San Diego, Jan 12 - 14. Looking for things to do.

    One item of note though. Stay WITHIN the gas lamp area during the daytime and night if you are on foot. Once you hit the outer edges, things can get a little rough. Stay within the crowds of the gas lamp area.

    Why is the door on the right?

    HA!! Glad somebody posted this as I had the same question. When I was considering either the piper or the cessna for training, I ultimately chose the Cessna for this problem exactly. The risk management side of me couldn't get over the fact that 1) the security of the door was up to what a...

    Argument at Chicago-Midway

    So I get that there was a problem, and the controller needed to keep things moving, but damn, show a little respect when the pilot is asking for information and pointing out an error that could have been deadly. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/runway-miss-creates-tension-tarmac-15337525

    Sleep Apnea MWT/How do I get one?

    UPDATE: So I got my special issuance this weekend. A question for those that have been through the sleep apnea drill before and even Doc. The special issuance had the same instructions that I mentioned above in the original letter. Submit annual treatment report with a handful of statistics and...

    Aerobatic Crash in OH

    Glad to see that it wasn't the lack of filing a flight plan that caused the crash. :no: http://news.yahoo.com/guardsman-doing-maneuvers-crashes-dies-ohio-020047825.html

    Sleep MWT thoughts

    Alright! 4 out 4 done. TEST OVER! No issues from the techs perspective. Hopefully the doc and the FAA will see it the same way and we can put an end to this madness! As a final comment to something I said earlier. The tech had said the 20 minute tests were for an MSLT and that is completely...

    Sleep MWT thoughts

    Ok, 3 of 4 done and I can confirm, without a doubt, it is virtually impossible to accurately count how many holes are in a ceiling tile. One last 40 minute session to go and this will be the hardest one being its the one right after eating. I tried to keep to a small meal so I don't have...

    Sleep MWT thoughts

    Ok, 2 of 4 complete and no worse than the first. Other than getting a little hungry. So far, I haven't had to rely on any of the "tricks" that so many have offered and I haven't had the slightest incling of falling asleep yet. I actually asked my tech about this and they said that's part of a...

    Sleep MWT thoughts

    So I arrived at 0645 this morning and was suprised at the freedom provided for the test. I got the obligatory paperwork out of the way and was again suprised that the only sensors used were on the head. No leg sensors, no snore mics, and generally, the ability to be as comfortable as I want to...

    Cluster in Colorado

    What I find comical was the last part of the article. More "COMMERCIAL" options available and millions in revenue. That tells me that all the fencing was put in my a manager that fantasized about competing with the big boys for commercial aviation and could care less about the GA impacts of...

    N/A Newspapers: print or digital

    I understand the preference angle, but what about content? Would you be willing to check the website for your favorite paper and scour if the content is different at all?

    N/A Newspapers: print or digital

    So, does anybody know if the print newspapers vary at all from the online content that the same organization provides? What about e-readers/tablets? same as the print or website? I guess I was wondering if paying for a digital subscription really gets me anything more than just surfing their...

    peril of getting off/on aircraft with propeller spinning?

    Here's an article on the incident. I'm with everybody else. Not in or out with the prop running. I even yelled at my Instructor the other day for opening the door with the prop still spinning. Sometimes getting complacent can have it's consequences as well...

    Sleep Apnea MWT/How do I get one?

    Higher, I usually float between 10-13! I've been at 10 for about the last year and half. I was at 14 at one point before a couple of surgeries, but that was 10 years or so ago.

    Sleep Apnea MWT/How do I get one?

    I would also agree with AggieMike above in that they are tightening up. This is my first time through this process. Not a renewal. Before I started down this road, I had done some previous research and provided what everybody had said previously worked plus other materials which weren't...

    Sleep Apnea MWT/How do I get one?

    Thanks for the notes Doc. I like to save a dollar as much as the next guy, but medical is one area I don't skimp. My letter was prepared by a neurologist that is also my treatment doc, through a Comprehensive Sleep and Neurology Center. I would have thought those credentials would have helped...

    Sleep Apnea MWT/How do I get one?

    Sleep Apnea MWT/How do I get one? (UPDATED, Jan 2012) So, I had my physical back in July, and due to my sleep apnea treatment, the AME obviously had to send it to OKC for final decision. Took them some time, but they came back and asked for an updated report from my treating doc, only asking...
