    Trip to MAMMOTH LAKES, CA.

    I've done it from San Diego ... pay attention to winds at mountain top elevation as that will tell you a lot about what kind of turbulence to expect. I took the Owens valley and aside from a little chop, it's a pretty easy flight. You have the 395 below you the whole way. I wouldn't want to...

    911 Whats Your Emergency?

    Your posts are usually pretty funny, this one was as well. With that said, the 911 operator was probably confused because she works Under the assumption that callers have an actual emergencies and not something that could be fixed with a crescent wrench and a call to your local gas company.

    A not successful freeway landing

    Not Monday morning QBing as it would be hard to spot and who knows if the plane would have made it but there is an old air strip just south of the 76 on the west side of the 15.

    Vehicle Accident Questions

    I'm actually going through this as we speak. My 3 week old car with less than 2K miles was T -boned by an elderly person who shouldn't have been driving in the first place. In my situation, I am dealing directly with the other parties insurance to submit my DV claim. The amount you will be...

    Lost Trust in Foreflight

    I have the same setup as you. I used to have all sorts of trouble connecting my dual to FF. I read somewhere on a FF forum that turning wifi off would help. I tried that and found that I've haven't had a connection problem once I turn off wifi. This also helps the battery too. I learned...

    New Car

    I just bought a new car in that class. I did a lot of research on the Mazda's, Toyotas and Hondas. I've owned a few Hondas in the past but opted against the new accord. The front seat wasn't comfortable to me and the interior wasn't what I was expecting. Looked at the Camrys but just think the...

    "In trail" takeoff clearance

    Just wondering. Are you using 4000 feet of your runway? Are there no earlier taxiway exits? The way I read your post it sounded like you're taxing at least a couple thousand feet which seems unusual.

    More lost in crashes over the weekend...

    You went into full internet tough guy mode on post #4 of the thread. When exactly did we get to the point where we were only discussing how many people died? I may not be able to fly a red plane upside down; however, I learn from every accident report / article I read. If you don't see the...

    Hi guys, I'm a long time reader of this forums. I've probably read every thread in Hangar Talk and Flight Following for the last two years. (At least for the first two pages before the thread inevitably digresses into an off topic argument) Anyway, I saw an ad on my Facebook for this...

    Possible Ongoing Card Data Theft Issue at Target

    long time active lurker but very infrequent poster. Unfortunately, I can't mention my credentials; however, I can tell you with absolute certainty that in your typical fraudulent credit card transaction, the merchant is NOT liable for any charges as long as all required data is captured at the...

    What should I do

    +1. Was thinking the same thing. The Ninjas not very comfortable for 2 but a 650 will have plenty of power for the average street rider. I do love how the mind works when trying to justify a new toy... About twice a year I convince my wife to hop on the back of my CBR 600.

    Question re NOTAMs and Restricted Areas

    I'm certainly not an expert on Restricted airspace and have no where near the experience level some of the pilots on this forum have. I'm just giving my perspective as a lowly SEL private pilot who likes to take weekend trips around California/ Nevada and AZ. My perspective was that for your...

    Question re NOTAMs and Restricted Areas

    Hi eetrojan. I fly around this area fairly regularly as I got my ppl out of L18 and also fly out of CRQ. I've never risked transiting the R area and typically just remain a few miles off shore when heading up the coast. For your route and altitude you can easily remain within gliding...
