Is it just me or they seem to go down quite often? Just curious as I am still a prospective student. http://www.khou.com/news/texas-news/219183831.html

I woke up today to my beautiful wife and 3 yr old, in good health, roof over my head, do whatever I please, and plenty of hope for a better future for my family. I'm blessed because of the many that paid the ultimate sacrifice and never made it home, to whom we all owe a great debt. From the...

Such a sad tale ... Condolences to the families. I wonder about the structural integrity of that aircraft, and if it did break apart midair, how often does something like that happen?

Didn't look to be easy ... http://www.worldrecordacademy.com/travel/youngest_pilot_to_fly_around_the_world_Tan_James_Anthony_breaks_Guinness_world_record_213399.html

Must not have been a Glock ... j/k :rofl:

Just bought ticket. Game on!

It's gonna take A LOT more than that as you probably know. If you think about the logistics of it ... making pre-arrangements along the way with all the airports, cities, Countries, media, events, and not to mention all the necessary ground support and the people behind the scenes. It's gonna...

I actually think Red Bull might be more open to sponsoring Aerobatics, given they put themselves out to be more "Extreme." Not that I don't think they would be interested, but I would think of them as a long shot .... but you never know. I think you'll have a better shot by making a list of...

Haha I exactly had you in mind. Well you still got time to do a feasibility study to see if resources can be organized. With that many people on here, somebody ought to know somebody. Not many still have that chance, but you do since you're still young. That would be the goal of a...

... potential record. WOuld be interesting if one of PoA's very own is up for it :yes: News link: http://news.abnxcess.com/2013/03/najib-hands-jalur-gemilang-to-james-tan-who-wants-to-be-youngest-pilot-to-fly-around-the-world/ Web site: http://www.1rtw.com.my/index.php?pg=content

Just thought that kids like him deserve to have their dreams come true, including becoming a pilot someday ... :yes: http://mashable.com/2013/02/26/ted-kenyan-boy-invention-lions/

Thanks for writing the whole story Nate. Makes me think of my dad and how he's getting up there in age now (71) and had recently shown some health decline. Gotta take him to check up. Sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing. May your dad RIP.

Hate to hear about that. Hope he gets well and win this battle.

:eek: She's got more balls than most of us combined. After watching that I don't even wanna get my PPL anymore :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I think the guy is a little looney tune but this analogy does make sense. I know because I used to live in Belize in the 80's when my family immigrated there, from 9 yrs old till 18, and I can definitely see this making sense.

Newbie question - In a case like this, would it be prudent to when on a XC trip like this, to plan the trip to always make a fuel stop half way? It seems that would've prevents many of these fuel exhaustion incidents. I am wondering if he had gotten away with close to running out of fuel...

We really can't make these kind of direct comparisons. Everytime when someone make these kind of claim, I just hope they are saying it "tongue in cheek" because they must know that there are at east a 1,000 times more cars than small planes in this country/world. These kind of comparisons are...

:thumbsup: for the G19 :nono: for the Serpa holster for conceal carry. The trigger guard lock is a deterrent to yourself in time of extreme crisis where a split second counts.

Those are good pointers ... I am taking notes. I think striving for aircraft ownership something is a very achievable goal for me. Well maybe I will assess that better after my 1st scare LOL ...
