Anyone else from POA here? Unfortunately there has been a crash of a participant this evening.

So about 3 weeks ago, i had a zit on my leg that was getting infected and was about to go offshore so i called and my doc called in an antibiotic fast forward 2 weeks and my wife glances at my bag whilst on vacation and says “what the hell is that?” (She is a nurse). Turns out the pharmacy...

I found this on YouTube the other day. Looks like tremendous fun and at least a little practical too. Has anyone heard of them? Apparently some semi-famous Australian aviator had one built for him. http://www.seabearaircraft.com/ also, please note the obligatory “I am not affiliated in any way”

my stepson is just not well. At 28 he has spent the last 10 years in addiction. We are moving my wife’s mother into senior living and he is acting up because we won’t let him continue to live in her home, which we are going to sell. He has probably made about 15k total in his employment...

...means I am now at home, wide awake at 3am. At least i am being mildly productive. Anybody got any tips? Coming back i think is harder than going over. I guess being at work Monday will force me to get it sorted.

I searched but didnt find any obvious thread that addressed this. I read 91.225 and im not sure its 100% clear. If i buy a 73 year old champ that has never had an electrical system, can i fly it within the mode c veil, or more specifically, under the bravo shelf after jan 1 2020? I think the...

I took the Sportair fabric class this weekend. It was well done - the instructor does covering professionally and has been teaching the course well over 20 years, i think maybe over 30? Anyway I thought it was worthwhile for me. I think I could undertake a recovering job, although i would...

If i have a PP-ASEL, and a tailwheel endorsement, lets say, is it legal for me to fly a Searey from land airport to land airport?

This is my biggest pet peeve. I’m an engineer. I work at an equipment manufacturer, so the documents my department creates become physical parts. So my signature is a gate towards building something. Another way to look at it is your mistakes are going to be a physical item in the shop for...

Way way off any aviation topic. The end is near for one of my wife’s uncles. She wants us to go to the funeral several states away and bring the 7 month old kid. No one for him to stay with when we go. Is there baby etiquette for a funeral? He is really good and usually quiet and happy...

So the urge to build a plane is getting stronger. Its not good timing. My son is 6 months. I am not flying hardly at all. Work is not good and will only get worse as oil prices keep rising. But i think i would really get a kick out of it. I think maybe an RV9 - not too expensive, not too...

Dang! http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2018/04/04/hangar-collapses-at-houston-s-hobby-airport-during-strong-winds.html

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/mar/15/florida-international-university-fiu-bridge-collapse-latest Yikes! That’s a problem! Sad that 4 people were killed!

You guys are smart. You know stuff, right? I want some moderately good music in my garage. Is there a good-bang-for-the-buck way to do this that will tolerate dust and such? Just going to hook it up to an echo dot. I’m not enough of an audiophile to know what is currently available for...

I live near Houston. We have comcast Xfinity cable and internet. It just sucks. My wife and i both need internet service for work, and it our service is interrupted a couple times a week on average. Comcast is not able or not willing to fix this. They are apparently the only ISP in this...

Im planning on riding in the hotter n hell hundred in wichita falls on 26 August. I am checked out in my club's PA-28-180, 7ECA and i could get checked out in the 152 and 150 pretty easily by then ( i think). Any tips as to which plane will be easiest to fit my cannondale in the back...

So it is time to send in my CPAP report and doctors letter for my annual authorization. what the doctor gave me is a copy of his notes, rather than a true letter. it mentions surgery I had in late 2016 - "distal clavical resection" I think it says - in the history portion of the notes...

My doc is recommending a sleep study. Boo! has anyone had a good experience with one of these places in the Houston area? I am wary of my doctor's referral. thanks.

Long time lurker here. I have enjoyed reading POA over the past several months. I am looking for a CFI in the south Houston area. I have access to a plane based at Pearland (KLVJ). Goal is private and probably instrument eventually. Anybody have a good experience with someone in the...
