I've been looking closely at picking up a 12 gauge and seem to be settling on a Mossberg 590A1. It seems a common comparison is the Remington (840?). Plenty of youtube videos out there but wanted to see if any POA'ers have either and what they think. My use would be mainly target...

So I just booked a flight for my GF and I down to Los Cabos (Flying on Virgin) and I realized that the last time I flew commercial was before even my first bit of training and flying as PIC of the Cessna, so I've never been in the heavy iron with a pilot's mindset. What are some fun, legal...

Thought maybe some of you would enjoy reading this as much as I did. It's pretty nuts. http://www.cracked.com/article_21642_5-people-saved-from-certain-death-by-impossible-luck_p2.html

Okay, not literally in my personal backyard, but it's still very cool. For whatever reason, most of us come to have a connection or bond with the place we choose to call home and that is extremely true for me. So we enjoy it (and perhaps become even a little prideful) when our little slice...

My '96 318i is on her last legs and I may just pull the trigger on my first actual new car. In the market for a new sports coupe and these look pretty attractive all around. Went and test drove one yesterday, nice and sporty, fantastic handling, looks sharp and overall extremely fun to...

A little light hearted ribbing for my friends from the craziest state in the union :D Woman drives car into ocean with three kids inside 2 hours after cops lets her go even after noticing a deranged state of mental health. Good times...

Did this in another forum and turned out to be a pretty entertaining and long lived thread, thought I'd see if we could have some fun, It's friday after all... The rules are, well, there are no rules (aside from POA rules of course). WHO's GAME? I'll start...

Kind of a beginner question here guys, be gentle :sad: I'm planning an early morning flight for tomorrow with a temperature/dew point spread very likely to be much smaller than what I'm used to. Most of the flying I do is late morning/afternoon when the OAT is warm and humidity is pretty low...

I'm attending a seminar there on campus at the University which happens to have an airport, so I'm considering the flight instead of driving in traffic. Anyone flown there before? The field itself looks pretty straightforward, they've even got cheap gas...

Another hilarious article from the writers at Cracked.com This one's actually written by a military pilot as well! Enjoy! http://www.cracked.com/article_15421_5-myths-about-flying-everyone-believes-thanks-to-movies_p2.html

Here we go! The thread for us lovers of suds! Ales and Stouts, Lagers and Pilsners, bring it on... Myself I'm always happy with a cold bottle of Lagunitas IPA What's your favorite brew, friend?

Hey all, Been practicing my steep turns a lot lately and can't seem to keep a lot of confidence when it comes to wind. Basically when I'm at a 45 degree angle of bank, I get concerned that a gust of wind may come from nowhere and push me past 45 and full ailerons may not be enough to...

Finally got to take my first solo XC a week back! Got absolutely perfect weather: clear skies, no wind (3 kts mostly head on), big temp/dew point spread, just perfect. Flew the Cessna 150 from Santa Rosa to Stockton, not a looong one, but a XC all the same. As I drove to the airport I...

Picked up by my step-father down in SoCal and flew it back to our home spot at KSTS. Haven't had the chance to go up in it yet but eagerly awaiting. Not gonna worry much about flying it yet as I've been training in a Cessna 150 and want to finish and get my cert. in that since I'm already...

Student pilot here feeling a bit overwhelmed with training. For those who don't know my background, I'm a student with a solo endorsement struggling pretty badly to find a CFI in my area and therefore guiding myself through most of the ground school work. Many times things click but more often...

It really just boggles the mind... http://news.yahoo.com/head-u-air-forces-anti-sexual-assault-unit-223841205.html

Well, threw my flight bag in my trunk on the way to work today. All jazzed up to go fly for the first time in a week or so, and there's a 200 acre fire burning not far from my home airport. I'm not experienced with guidelines regarding the safety of flying near fires, but I'm probably not flying...

Hey all, Went for a brief flight yesterday from KSTS to KDVO to practice a few touch n go's. It's a short trip so I only climbed to about 1,800 ft. Winds were calm, not much lateral gustiness at all. Out of nowhere I gained a few hundred feet in altitude and had to really fight the yoke...

My housemate sent me this article about Samoa Air starting to regulate ticket prices by the passengers weight. Article says they'll be weighed at the time of purchasing the ticket. What do y'all think??? http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia-pacific/2013/04/20134363552821877.html
