I think this is a great question (re: fibbing, or rather flat-out lying). I am sure many airports 'enhance' operations numbers between breaths while sucking the FAA funding teet. The real question should be why are cities endlessly agreeing to tax abatement packages to appease these big...

Still using a plain-ole iPhone 5 every day (100% remote wage slave). It doesn't seem slow at all. This article is specious...

It took years but cruising at 9.5gph is finally a-okay. Used to be I'd thrift along at 8gph and a miserly 105kts but those days are behind me. I'm not a self-proclaimed cheapskate by any stretch but... YGPHMV

It is becoming glaringly obvious that credit protection should be free and required by federal law due to the credit whores called corporations that simply cannot store safely all the data we willingly give them.

Thank you for posting this. The Equifax system for dealing with this is slightly comical: how can we expect them to help us monitor our credit when they were just the victim of data theft? Just being Mr Obvious over here...

Moving to Reno for a cooler climate!? Holy crap!

This is a lonely hobby unless you make a serious effort to connect with people. UNFORTUNATELY you can't really ask people if they'd like to go flying with you - you have to wait for them to ask you. Aside from that though you must must make the effort: join every club and definitely fly to every...

Move to Indiana

>> No- I've not even started training yet. I've been up with several other GA pilots over the years, and been on one Discovery flight. About to take another one a week from Saturday. Sailing is WAY more social. And much easier to get the family into. Richard Bach and his books sum up flying...

So you don't have your PPL yet? Have you solo'ed? I haven't read the other posts. Apparently you need to do this; who cares about the logic of any of it. That said, the smartest thing I've ever done in my life is a) have kids and b) buy my plane. The wife has never flown with me; the 7-year...

iPad Mini 4 on Warner mount. Best setup I know of.

Mattoon is an absolute must-visit. Not the most exciting part of the nation geologically speaking, but the restaurant is fantabulous. I've been to Bloomington IL too which was great. Been a few years so I don't know if it's still in biz but hopefully.

I hate turbulence and I own a plane. It's not so much a roller coaster - more like getting slammed by the hand of god in random directions. Bang (up), Boom (left), Konk (down), etc. On the way home from SC as a newly minted pilot (~90 hours) I hit "moderate turbulence". It scared me silly...

Finally! Geez!

Well written post although I think AOPA is doing a good job. For some bizarre reason pilots just love to hate AOPA. Not sure if they are aircraft owners or renters or what. Must be a guy thing or some bizarre side-effect of being anal... Sometimes some articles come across incorrectly. To...

Never been yelled at by a CFI. I wonder if something super scary happened and he/she was venting...

Love this - makes sense and seems like a win-win for both sides.

Flying to Nantucket is a no-win situation according to everything I read. Removing from bucket list (bummer...) I am told by one international-level commercial pilot that little GA pilots often are better at flying than the big-iron PhDs.

Can't remember where I saw it, but AOPA said they spent $300k refurbishing that Deb. CRAZY!
