"tolerate" was the key word here...:D Welcome Sleek Jet!....:cheerswine:

A friend of mine had this conversation in Grand Rapids, MI (KGRR) a couple of years ago: Friend: "Battle Creek Tower, Skyhawk XXXX ready to taxi, VFR departure to the South. GRR Tower: Tomahawk XXXX, taxi to rwy XX and hold short. Friend: Eh tower, we're a Skyhawk. GRR Tower: If you...

I had a funny one a couple of months ago with Lansing Approach (Michigan). An aircraft where inbound to KLAN and was instructed to go Left Downwind for rwy XX and contact tower on xxx.xx. Aircraft: Lansing Approach, roger, left downwind for rwy XX. Aircraft a couple of minutes later...

Tom, you are most welcome. This is what we train for and I only wish the outcome would have been different. When I'm on a search, I always visualize-hope-keep my fingers crossed that we will find them alive. Sometimes we do, but unfortunately not in this case but like I said, I hope we at least...

Tim, I'm very sorry for your loss. I was participating in the search and learned much about Karen while I was doing it. It was a tragic outcome, but I hope we helped the family to some closure by locating the aircraft. Actually, it has not totally been located yet but we found enough debris...

The driver of the car in the pic should get points for that catch!. All about popping the trunk at the right time huh?....:D

Guys, this discussion is getting ridiculous. As a GA pilot I can certainly relate to the lost time and extended fuel costs by having to go around MOA's and other areas from time-to-time. BUT, as a former military pilot I know how it looks from the other side as well and if some of you guys had...

I agree except my wife has more touch controls than dial knobs...:D

Have you tried switching the PFD info to the MFD (push the red button) to see if you have the same problem there? I've never experienced what you said but we did have a comm problem once on Comm 2 (only on the PFD) and that turned out to be an issue in the software update. As for the standby...

Almost. There's no C-152 on there....:D

The dog looked more cute.....;)

Yeah we've even had two in a row...;).

That's one of my absolute favorite non-aviation movies. The funny thing is, it probably could happen too...;)

I think I'm more open in real life than here on the forum. This is probably because read my posts a couple of times before I actually submit them and while doing that, I also make some changes and the "impulsive" statement/answer/question is not so impulsive anymore. I guess you're gonna have...

Darn!!!...:D

Yeah!! I like twins!!

Yep, that's the one! They did a follow-up with rated glass and I believe the result was them same...;).

Did you see that episode of Mythbusters where they compared what would hit the hardest, a frozen or a not frozen chicken? Kinda hilarious!..:D.

This was a huge problem in the Swedish Air Force as well and since we were surrounded by sea, seagulls where the largest problem. I was lucky but several ac went down due to collisions with seagulls. The AF actually tested and the claimed that the impact of a seagull hitting an ac flying a M0.8...

Just beware, I hear they can cause a whistle sound when you "break wind". Kinda like putting a straw of grass between your fingers and blow....:D.
