Is there some kind of Massengill exchange credit for experience? If so, you're just moments away from the DPE ride, bud. As they say, "If you don't have a bag, carry a bigger one!" You pass that test with flying colors! Don't let anyone try to take that away from you.

Of course you did. That's why you announced with justifiable pride, your new flight bag purchase, but neglected to tell us about your solo... Rock on, Ms. Mafoo!

And there are people that are OBE and have earned Level 2 Iron Crosses. How would one explain that?

Which undoubtedly explains why we have QEII and QEIII that helps unwind the financial mess... But, yeah, we need idealistic young people to become pilots for some reason or another...

And from the time JFK was assasinated, how long did it take for the U.S. to have a new VP, and what Constitutional Amendment made that happen? Here's at hint: for the latter question, the number is between 23 and 27.

What makes you think you worked any harder than anyone else? Assuming you really have a CPR-E degree, then passing the PP written should be pretty easy, since it's based on 9th Grade Algebra and some common sense. But let's run with your numbers. "8 grand" and "4 months" to get your PPL...

I stand corrected. I thought that the Aztecs were built at the PA plant that got flooded out and wiped out the Comanche line...thanks for setting me straight!

Good lord! A grass runway and no bus ride to Lambert's? How in the world do you expect anyone to show up? (Anyone that's actually been to Lambert's should know the joke...)

Yep. And Jonathan Livingston Seagull was read by lots of people that would have never otherwise had exposure to GA. Who knows how many people got their PP on account of that book? Probably more than fell for the "BE A PILOT" nonsense that AOPA has been pushing for the last 25 or so years.

Amen, Brother Jason! Cessna "Land-O-Matic" gear won't get one out of a bad situation with wet clouds at 0F OAT. Neither will a Cirrus with a Parachute. Both companies have tried to oversell what one can reasonably expect to accomplish over the years.

Go on a discovery flight. Take your spouse with you. There's not a whole lot of use in you buying a plane that your family doesn't want to fly in, is there? Get your ticket and then worry about whether you should buy, join a club, or something else. Once you do that, then you can worry about...

Funny how most of the good aviation writers of the 20th Century used to write for Flying Magazine, Gann, Bach, Leighton and Richard Collins and so on. Now, we're subjected to Robert Goyer's whiny fluff stuff about how user fees are the greatest potential threat to our freedom since the guy with...

Is there something controversial here? Or should we just be secure in our knowledge that the middle-easterners are experts at camel-raising, hookahs and mobile cheese production?

Spare heat shield tiles and dried food packets are controversial, how? It's not like they have a lot of scientific value. The Army is still trying to figure out how to get rid of spare M-151 tires they bought in 1965...

Yep, I saw my young'un get dotted a bunch of times after the 3-2. Stitch marks on the shoulder blades...He had about a .120 average, but he stole more bases than Dillinger robbed banks. Pretty good SS and a decent 2B player, lots better than me anyway. Good times...

I would kindly advise that people selling mods tend to overstate the benefits thereof. It would be useful to keep in mind that an STC for an exhaust system or any other mod like VGs, gap seals, special wingtips, special hubcaps, etc. means that no one found an adverse effect to the aircraft as...

The last Aztec was built in what, 1972? So if you're lucky, you're flying a 40 year old aircraft. I think that making sure everything works correctly is probably the first step, rather than hoping there's an aftermarket fix for something that may or may not be wrong. The PA-24, PA-30 and...

And wabower crowds the plate, drawing the high inside pitch... Abbott: What do you do with an elephant with 3 balls? Costello: Walk him...

Cranky a lot! But I'll bet my tube of Preparation-H weighs a lot less than that bag! Or an I-pad, even! Whatever happened to students actually learning to fly? Or calling FSS with a dial phone, dammit?

Someone needs to set the market price, might as well be you...:wink2: But I think I'd go into the negotiation about $6k short...
