I recently took a trip to the store to buy a couple things and saw this car in the parking lot. The juxtaposition between this car and my car struck me so I parked next to it and took this picture. Couple questions; Which car is cooler? Which car is worth more "as is"? Which car changed...

Just flew a STAR in DFW. It's a newer arrival published 16apr21 and is on 1st rev with no changes. It's the BEREE 1 rnav arrival and is pronounced "Berry 1" as evidenced by several appch controllers. Now... Isn't "Berry" the slang term for former President Barrack Obama? And the fixes along the...

Not sure if this has been mentioned before here, but: I recently discovered a podcast made by two ATC controllers from the Triad that is very informative and useful to pilots (especially those working on instrument stuffs). Their day job is Tower and Approach control at CLT but they both fly on...

Stay with me here and I promise by the end you’ll agree with me the Earth is flat! Earth’s surface is around 70% water, right? And like 95% of that water is the oceans…agree? Of all that ocean water NONE of it is carbonated…. And if its NOT carbonated then…say it with me… The. Earth. Is. Flat.

So, figure I'll spell it out...spill my guts...and watch what ensues. I want an airplane. I live in a small town on Florida's east coast and I have dreams of me flying over I95 evacuating my fam over bumper to bumper traffic during some future hurricane evacuation. Also, my boys are 16 and 14...

Lotta armchair lawyers here, thought I'd see what ya'll thought; I own a Kenmore refrigerator that I bought from Sears just over 2 years ago. Did not buy any service plan. Couple weeks ago it stopped working. I went to Sears with the receipt and the sales guy told me it's not under warranty...

In this thread it's ok to name drop. Tell us who you've met. I'll start but it's a tad unfair as I flew corporate and had a few celebrities in on my manifests. Here they are in no particular order: Reese Witherspoon, Dan Quayle, Cheech (Not Chong), Jenifer Lopez, James Caan, Nichole Kidman and...

So, after just over a year I've returned a bit. I've been at a new job flying the A320 series aircraft and am a year or so away from being "Captain" again. I'm still sorta miffed at PoA management over the 'outing' thing but whatever, water under the bridge. An apology would have been nice but...

Some people have them and I'm curious how does one go about getting one? They look smart. I hope it's not some super easy process that anyone can do making it a meaningless accomplishment...

I've come around on my thinking about these type airlines and here's why. The Internet sells almost all the airline tickets these days and the tickets are almost always listed by non-stop first and price second. That means they are really listed by price first if you discount flights with...

Seems like an unusually high number of stories of pilots running themselves out of gas. Cirrus guy in IMC and coked up dad sparked it. So, why? Why would anyone even come close? I've done a ton of dumb things in my life but never have I tried to fly further or longer than the gas would take...

Did ya know they're all listed? Click on POA Message Board above (top left) and scroll down to bottom. They're all listed right there...

Saw a truly disturbing sight today. I was pulling out of the outlet mall and saw him standing there. At first I figured he was the average bum with a cardboard sign we've all seen asking for help, charity, whatever. I usually snort and drive on and don't think twice about it. But as I...

I have to admit this is pretty cool if you ever liked StarWars even a little bit. https://lightsaber.withgoogle.com/experience Basically, you go to the above URL on your phone while sitting in front of a desktop or laptop. The phone will give you a unique URL to enter into your desktop...

So, my optometrist tells me that if I leave my Daily Contact Lenses in for multiple days it's bad for my eyes. He says that daily lenses don't allow enough oxygen to the surface of the eye ball and need to removed daily. I'd agree except this conveniently requires me to buy a ton more product...

What's the minimum amount of time you could have at ATP check ride if you maxed out your SafetyPilot time? You need some instrument time so you couldn't be SP for that...and you need to be current, so no SP for that...but could you get you ATP with like 10 hours of actually flying?

So, we discussed. Folks still feel the same way or have minds changed?

Year 2050. Star Trek style transporters have been around for a decade now and human transports are common. You have your first trip / transport scheduled today. It's just like you see on Star Trek. You stand on the pad, the operator throws some switches and atom by atom you are disassembled...

I'm sitting in the exit row and two rows in front of me a mom with her 2 year old boy is seated with her in the aisle and him in the middle. From push back to touchdown the kid, every 15 minutes or so, would stand in his seat facing backwards with the safety briefing card in his hand and start...
