does anybody know of any AME to do a 3rd class medical near Easton/Allentown, PA? Or even west NJ? thanks

I haven't been on in a long time as life got in the way. There was a thread a few years ago about a GA pilot and CFI who went on to the airlines (WestJet if I recall) and he was in his 50's. I think the thread was called "Living the dream" or something like that. Any help would be appreciated.

Lots of good replies. Thanks all.

I have my PPL since 2015. I flew about 30-40 hours per year in the first 3 years. But my last flight was in August 2018. I just lost the urge to fly. How many Hudson flights can you take? I wanted to take longer flights, even overnights, but then when looking at the costs, it became costs...

Great point. Once I etsablish two-way radio comms, I'm free to enter Charlie.

It's not Islip. I trained and fly out of FRG so I'm familiar with Islip. It's 7 east of KABE (Lehigh Valley Int'l) in Eastern PA. Bottom shelf starts at 2200. With 400 elevation, that's 1800 AGL. However, there is a 1062' antenna/tower 1.5 miles south of my house. And a 1290 footer to the...

I'm building a house and it sits under the outer ring of the Class C about 7 miles from the airport. Living in NYC, I have never been able to fly over my house due to LGA, so it's something that I will probably do at some point once I move. The Charlie begins at 2200' (1800' AGL) up to 4400'...

Not a gift, I paid for it. About $16-17 with shipping and handling. The worst piece of crap ever invented. Did NOTHING.

Best: Hurricane Mop (comes with 10 year warranty, so once the pedal no longer works, you can exchange for a new one at Bed Bath and Beyond-- did it last year) Worst: WaxVac earwax vacuum

Looks like a Thanksgiving Turkey.

I think the lesson here is to stay far away from storms to avoid it all together. I was once flying a Cherokee from Hartford, CT back to Farmingdale, NY. I'm guessing I was at 4500 feet since I was going south. Somewhere near Bridgeport, CT, there were some nasty looking clouds. Mind you, I...

I was coming back to JFK on Jetblue yesterday (9/25) morning. One of the scariest landings in a commercial airliner for me. I was litening to the tower on approach. Winds were 120 @ 17G27. Clouds down to 600. RVR5000-6000. We landed 4R, so a nasty direct crosswind. The wings were rocking...

Good to practice GA once in awhile so you don't forget the steps. Like retracting the flaps from 40 to 25 in a Piper. Otherwise, it's like climbing with a 5,000 lb elephant on the roof. I learned that the hard way.

In the school that I trained at, the instructors let the student "pilot" take off most times. But the instructor would be ready to grab the yoke if something went wrong. Maybe this instructor got lazy.

I was making a statement about Flight Sim players as a whole, not him specifically.

ok, who left the key in the ignition? Seriously, it seems that Flight Sim geeks think that they can fly an actual plane. The takeoff is fairly easy. But then you hve to land it and there's no reest button. Oh oh.

That's my biggest fear as a renter. That I will be given a broken plane that I have no shot to get back on the ground safely. At times, it has made me question my participation in this hobby. And what's worse is that the school may not even know that a previous renter did something dumb to...

pre-existing structural damage?

I am still on IOS 10.3.3. I just decline all updates. They pack in more crap into each update that drains your phone resources and slows it down so you look to buy a new one. I'm going to be using this Iphone 6s until it literally drops dead (or I do).
