    Touring a large city with a Bravo airport

    And since I didn't answer the question, I've been granted bravo clearance in Detroit at night several times but I've never tried to loiter. I've been cleared to orbit inside the bravo in Cleveland a number of times, including once in the surface area. It all depends on where you are going, what...

    Touring a large city with a Bravo airport

    Do the river tour at night. Fly VFR between the banks of the river at about 2000' while talking to Detroit approach. It is absolutely stunning.

    So, uhh... wow? (pilot in class Bravo without clearance, McCarran)

    I was thinking about this. "He without sin" notwithstanding, if I ever stupidly land on a taxiway by accident, I don't want someone quoting me with a screenshot. A compliance attitude is what matters. Heck, maybe even embracing learning opportunities. If you prove you can learn and grow, we...

    Fear of penalty doesn't prevent an act of emotion. That guy sounded fairly emotional to me. It was practically a series of outbursts.

    Holy crap. I was so eager to pretend that our ranks were untainted by the likes of this insanity. We gotta fly next to these dudes.

    WHY IN HELL DIDN'T HE GO AROUND

    So, uhh... wow? (pilot in class Bravo without clearance, McCarran)

    Our mistrust is strong. I know people are this... dense? Unaware of their surroundings? I can see some newly minted pilot operating in a Bravo environment being confused but no way in hell is someone given a certificate without demonstrating proper respect for ATC. I understand that ATC is...

    "Unable pen, operating aircraft." This seems insane enough to be fake.

    Today I didn't fly

    My biggest concern is self-service fueling.

    Can Controllers Give Arrival Instructions That Don't Reference A Runway?

    I was once given a left 270 to enter right base from right downwind at night for spacing. The KCAK controller was so happy that everyone followed his instructions he paused to emotionally thank everyone on frequency haha

    Pros/Cons of Joining the Civil Air Patrol?

    Bad news. The G1000 is an endorsement that is required to be renewed annually via a demonstration of proficiency during a F5.

    Kind of a Sad Commentary About our Young People

    Was truly curious. A lot of these kinds of opinions seem to be biased by expectation or anecdotal.

    Wreckage of plane missing since 1997 found in Michigan

    I spent a week looking for that plane. I was part of the team that made contact with the Mackinac County sheriff and searched St Ignace. Long time ago that was. The search area was gigantic. Containment was basically the eastern UP all the way down past Mio. It would have taken some luck to...

    Do FBOs charge multiple landing fees?

    More than that. I went up there to give city + lakeshore tours to coworkers. Multiple landings all day and they only charged me once. Then again our plane is up there many times each year. Maybe they like us.
