I'm finally making it to Airventure for the very first time(I'm not flying, just going) but my availability is limited so I can either do the first two days and the weekend before or the final two days(Saturday & Sunday). I'm gearing up to either build a Hummel H3, so I'm hoping to get in on a...

They're rare these days, but this gave me a chuckle...

Okay, so I'm destroying my 2004 Toyota Tacoma driving it 80 miles a day. I want to park it and since I only work 4 days a week, I want to buy a commuter car that's just above a beater because of the 40 miles each way to and from work. I'm looking for ideas and here's my requirements: 6 cyl...

Okay, maybe "stud" is not the best word to describe a King who, by most accounts in history was a genocidal child killing brute, but I took a feed this morning at work of a PBS show called "Time Scanners". This episode was about the Temple Mount and the Herodium in Jerusalem. Herod was an...

I'm twenty three years into a career and I honestly don't remember how I got here. It more than provides for my family and I consider it noble work, but it's never excited me. I don't hate it...I "nothing" it. So I'm curious about how others may have found their way to what they're doing...

I've never owned an airplane and after a lot of thought, good advice in this thread and reading a great article in the latest Flying magazine, I've settled on a Mooney as my choice. Thanks to the advice here, I'm pretty sure I want an early one with the Johnson bar landing gear mechanism, which...

Jason Schappert from M0A recently did a pretty cool webinar on buying an airplane and it got me thinking...How would you decide what plane to buy to finish your training? I myself, loved the Cherokee 180 and the Warriors I trained in, but I'm wondering if I purchased one would it be enough plane...

My co-worker has noticed, for more than a week now, a single engine high wing plane(172 or 182) circling for hours over Burke, Annandale and Fairfax, Va. I thought he lived within the SFRA, but apparently, he doesn't. Anybody have any idea what could be going on? Is this a continuation of the...

I'm going to be in Cincinnati next weekend for business, so I booked my first ever flying lesson in a Piper Cub at Red Stewart Airfield. I've never flown any tail wheel aircraft for that matter, so I'm dying to see what all the fuss is about. I'm going to wear my cap with my 808 keychain camera...

I'm changing careers and my new endeavor will be location independent. I'm looking to relocate somewhere where I'd have to visit snow to experience a lot of it. Where would you live in the contiguous United States to best minimize the effects of being "bent over" by the IRS?

Please refrain from IMing me your petty personal attacks about posts that are: 1. Not directed at you 2. None of your damn business You know who you are...

If you could change anything about your job or daily routine, how would you improve it?

I took my 1988 Dodge Dakota pickup to Jiffylube for an oil change. After leaving "the Lube" for the absolutely last time in my life, I experienced a high pitched squealing sound that I couldn't for the name of me trace to the rear end at the time. I made an appointment to have the truck seen by...

A friend of mine's kid has a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from Virginia Tech. He's got a pretty good job by his dad's estimation but he's bored out of his mind. The kid recently visited the Aviation Institute of Maintenance in Manassas. He saw the current class building a...

NOVA "First Air War" I took this feed at work on Friday. It's an amazing account of the development of warbirds. Oh, and btw, my dream job is in New Zealand.

Please forgive my ignorance and rambling. I'm on this kick of buying my last plane first so I've been looking(dreaming about) Bonanzas and I've come across 35 series planes with the single yoke that you can fly from either seat. They look seriously cool in an "old school" way. I also like the...

No glide ratio to save your arse here...

Weird question, I know. Say you were flying from KRMN to KSUS every other month. Of the six trips, your max payload for two of them would be 410 lbs of two adults, a wire haired Dachshund, luggage and maybe an occasional set of golf clubs, hunting/ fishing gear, etc. Planning for 410 lbs...
