...and replaced with just a colored square with a big letter (or number) in it. Other avatar graphics are just fine. Example: I'm using MacOS Safari, if it matters. Are others seeing this too? What makes some of the graphics work and not others?

Hey Monkey fans, I'm aiming to depart within the next week and arrive at KRAP the beginning of the first week of June. Planned route:... well, usually we'd fly the Alcan, but with the Alberta fires and whatnot, who knows? (Trench? Coastal route?) I think we're going to just play it by ear...

CGP Grey is at it again. This one is about IATA and ICAO, and things like why Canada got all of the "CY's"... Now, you might think "I know all about that stuff already," but as is always the case with Grey, you go in thinking the video is going to be one thing (that maybe you already know)...

If you're not familiar with the YouTube work of CGP Grey, you're missing out on one of the best nerdy channels out there... He tends to make videos about things that you think you know all about (like where is the border between the U.S. and Canada, or what tumbleweeds are, or what is the City...

Summer... and a spate of good weather predicted for both Southcentral and Southeast Alaska. Time to fly! Along the "coastal route" through Yakutat: low-level coastal clouds and fog socked in everything for hundreds of miles, with the clouds going right up to the mountains of the coast...

Like the rest of the internet, I've been having some fun with "DALL*E mini", the machine-learning algorithm that has been trained on all kinds of images, and now can create artificial images of whatever you want -- or, at least, it tries its best! I tried a few aviation-related things. Here...

A friend of mine shared this with me.... A pigeon performs what looks like a stall/spin, many many turns, and then a recovery to a landing. wow! https://mobile.twitter.com/buitengebieden_/status/1512790211549401090?s=20&t=XuojRvHF4Sy1s7bMAC3ipw Now there's a skilled pilot, right there...

We get a lot of questions in this forum about SSRI's and depression/anxiety diagnoses, and how (or if!) one can navigate the FAA medical system with them... I have picked a few hopefully useful threads from the recent past on the topic. If you've got a question about these issues, I recommend...

I'm starting this thread in order to collect information about DUI/DWI and alcohol/drug abuse issues and pilot medicals. New pilots and Student Pilots: if you have ever had a DUI or issues with drugs/alcohol, please read some of these threads first! ------- Student pilot: 21 year old DUI...

Hey, PoA community! The Management Council is starting an effort to clean and refresh the list of "sticky" threads at the top of each subforum. YOU can help, by nominating a particular favorite thread, that you think deserves sticky status. To qualify for sticky status, a thread should: -- have...

The last time I flew, was a strange flight back in October. Hubby and I went for an evening flight down Turnagain Arm as the sun got low. At the time, there was a corner of my mind that was already wondering if this would be my last flight for a while, and the biopsy results a few days later...

It started with a dull discomfort, from which I discovered a lump, about a month ago. Within a week to my PCP, who sent me to imaging. A week later: mammogram, ultrasound, biopsy. Because I had signed up for an electronic health portal (sure, why not? I figured), my email pinged when the...

Hey Monkey fans, The Monkey made it to Alaska. The Last Frontier. The Great Land. The Upper One. I have done what I promised to do, and it's time to pass him along to someone else! Perhaps now one of my fellow Alaskans wants to take him around the state... maybe @Stewartb could show him...

We inherited multiple tins of anchovies from someone. (Long story.) Neither me nor my pandemic-shelter-househost like to eat them particularly. I tried using them (via a blender) as a substitute for fish sauce in a Thai recipe, and that actually worked pretty well. Seeking additional...

Our last episode [https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/kaths-north-america-adventure-part-iv-dallas-edition.123894/] brought me as far as Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It's been another month and a half since then, and another six states (GA, FL, GA again, SC, VA, WV, and PA). First, I...

Our last episode left off in Arizona [https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/kaths-north-america-adventure-part-iii.122451/], with one of @Lowflynjack's epic air-to-air photo shoots [https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/air-to-air-az-cessna-172-kath.122662/]... I spent...

...which is enough time to leave security and do something interesting during the day. Any suggestions?

Hi, everyone, My round-the-US-in-a-year trip has entered another "phase" of the journey... out of the Bay Area, heading south and east. The blog has been quiet for a while (beetlejuiceadventure dot wordpress dot com), but I'm starting back up again now that I'm back on the road. In the last...

Hi, all, I'm going to be spending a few weeks in the SF Bay Area (from Oct. 7th-ish to the end of the month), and our plane's annual is due at the end of October. Would like to get the annual done there while in town. My husband is an A&P (and the airplane's owner), and is traveling there to...

Hi, all, I'm now 1.5 months into my grand tour around the states, and it's been a pretty amazing trip so far. (Part I here: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/kaths-north-america-adventure-part-i.120459/) I spent about three weeks in Madison, WI, after the 7-day epic flight...
