Heard some older plane went down near my home off hwy 410 in Bonney Lake, apparently two fatalities. Sad, anyone have any more info. Engine trouble shortly after takeoff from the the sounds of it. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/1-dead-in-small-plane-crash-near-Enumclaw-261899591.html

A lot of movies I need to catch apparently. I must have watched Always 200x as a child. Loved that movie.

I know. I just read the whole thread wondering what could have happened to bump it. Then I was disappointed.

I'm with you. Replace mx with flat track and that was my exact situation accept I went pro and never paid attention to education. Sadly pro flat track is nearly impossible to make a living at. What is crazy is a lot of these college athletes get life long injuries from their sport but don't...

That's what I thought. All I did was 2 touch and go's and a full stop. Get the "omg I'm alone" feeling out of the way. I almost got into a full blown spin on my first power on stall. Taught me the importance of staying coordinated and a great lesson on how to recover from it. Def got my...

Touche. No less impressive though. Thanks for keeping me honest.

Sea fair is one of my favorite weekends in Seattle. They come over my work at about 200 or 300 feet in formation. I can look into the cockpit and see their eyes as they fly by. Love the blue angles, and I missed them last year.

I've operated all kinda of things before flying. Motorcycles quads d8 cat, Datsun field pickup at 10, tractors and forklifts. I always figured a plane would be like everything else, unique. My uncle took me flying a little as a kid so I guess that got me used to how to control an airplane.

Anybody in the Seattle area? Got some FBO suggestions. Gonna go look around this weekend. Closest to me is S50, KPLU or KRNT. Thanks in advance.

My first solo XC I went to a small uncontrolled airport where my mom and grandmother (who paid for my training) lived. Never had landed there before and there were power lines you had to clear and a much shorter runway than I was used to. Did 2 go arounds before I set her down. Taxi'd over...

Yeah been reading up on the FAR/AIM just spending all my free time on it. The more I think about it the more excited I get. Weather looks good for the weekend ill probably go check out some FBOs maybe do an hour on Sunday. Any recommendations for a good FBO in the greater Seattle (south)...

If you knew me you'd know motivation isn't a factor. Every thing I do I go all in. But I appreciate your advice I will be getting up sooner rather than later. The bug is alive and well. And thanks for that resource, I will check it out after work.

Thanks. I'm not concerned with passing the medical and your right the lost 10 or so hours isn't the biggest deal in the world. I'm more concerned with the loss of a lot of knowledge. I've been reading up the pilots handbook of aeronautical information and studying sectionals it is coming back...

Yeah not sure what happened but I work just to the southwest of Boeing field just a couple miles from there. Extremely sad.

Figured since I'll be posting here I should give an intro and a little info about me. My name is Matt I'm 30 and I haven't flown since 2003. I got my training out of Olympia Wa (KOLM) My love for flying started at 8. My uncle was a pilot and I remember flying with him as a kid. I always had...

Mark Martin is a pilot also. I remember seeing him after his first retirement was watching the Daytona 500 and got all sad. Went outside to his hangar and took his jet off on his private airstrip. Wish I had that kind of antidepressant. Turned left my whole life, it's not that easy. should...

A lot more is in your hands as a pilot than as a rider. I knew a guy just cruising down the street car doesn't see him and pulls out in front he T-bones car and it kills him. At 40mph. I've ridden motorcycles since I was 4, but I hardly ever take them on the street because the variables are...

Reason why I joined the forum. I haven't flown PIC since 03 either. I'm currently working to regain some knowledge to get current again this summer. Thanks for that info blackhawk I will check it out.

This whole thing pegs my no way meter. But I see your point. According to this guy http://www.reddit.com/r/news/comment...flight/cg2uht6 MH370 followed the way points back over to the west and is within 30nm of SQ68. http://imgur.com/QpqjsZb Follow the flight path of SQ68 till it intersects...

This should be considered. There were a couple flights going through that airspace at the time of the disappearance. Is it possible for MH370 to follow another of of these flights closely from high and behind disguising it's radar signature. Following there flight plans that would put that...
