    [N/A] How cold is too cold for your pet?

    OK folks, a little lesson in thermo dynamics. Water freezes here at 68F. A proven fact, as my knees start to knock, and coffee starts to look better than beer! Anyone who lives north of El Paso is crazy. Dave

    Well, reserved N472DR. 72 has been my call sign for a dozen years, both on the ground, and in the air. 2DR rolls off the tounge pretty easy. Now I just need to learn to fly the contraption. Dave.

    Not rated. Am going to read a book.:D Just kidding, was looking into some flight schools in the Phoenix area though. I heard that Rotorway has a couple 300's, most mosquito owners say that they handle very close to the XE so that may be a good location. Was thinking about paying for a block of...

    Need some help folks. My helicopter build is coming along nicely and its time to reserve a number. My initials are DR, but that may be a little to much say as I'm probably going to be to scared to talk anyway.:eek: The helicopter is a Mosquito XE3. So how about some suggestions? Dave.

    More animal cruelty

    Thanks for letting us know how he's doing, I have 3 cats that bring me joy every day. Now, for the young scum responsible for this, we have a saying in this part of the country. SHOOT, SHOVEL, AND SHUT UP! Dave.

    PPL question

    AlaskaFlyer, I was actually aware of the stringent requirements for USFW, I'm a GS-1812 working for the Army at Fort Bliss. The crack about the F15 was tongue in cheek. Oh Mr. Levy, I served 21 years in the Army, and am well aware of the ability of my brethren in the (Air Corp) to protect...

    PPL question

    Thanks Alaskaflyer! That was pretty much my understanding. So, if the USAF asked me to ferry one of their F15's for a fee I, a lowly PP could do so, providing I could find the starter button and survived the attempt.:D Dave Rains

    PPL question

    Yes Sir, I know of folks who fly for the government who have no commercial ticket at all, carrying passengers, flying public (government) aircraft. How does that work? Now that I think of it, some may not have any ticket at all, but are retired army aviators, still flying for uncle sam. Dave.

    PPL question

    OK, where does PUBLIC fit in? Can you fly for the Fed without carrying passengers or cargo? Dave.

    New Mexico Statute 7-7-317

    Another thing to consider is the white copy of the ticket (at least the ones I write) have an area on the back for the officer to write additional comments on, not seen by the recipient. If the officer believed your friend was not cooperative, it will be noted there. Not someting you want to...

    NA - any current or former horse owners here?

    Yes, I own horses and do let a few people ride them. If your concern is liability, I can tell you that most western states have laws stating the hazards of equine sports and it's not possible to sue for injuries. If your worried about weekend riders abusing your horse, you should be. Dave.
