    Suuuper frustrated...have had to cancel my PP checkride 3x now due to weather

    I had to cancel mine once, and the day I had it started off with crappy weather, and I had to divert and wait for weather to clear before I got to the checkride airport. It sucks to not fly, but I think it also helps in that it establishes your judgement in the eyes of the examiner.

    This is why we can't have nice things.

    It's funny that Southwest is protesting since they got their start by cheating in the first place... ...yes it's a joke relax

    Someone's going to be an airline pilot!

    Let me know if you ever make it out to KDFW. I'm workin' on the ramp for JetBlue this summer, and Endeavor operates in and out of the same terminal as us. Haven't seen a 200 yet but ya never know. Would be great to say hi, even if only in passing.

    How to plan transportation from a small airport

    I just had my first experience with this a couple weeks ago. I'm based in Dallas and was flying to the small Texas town of Llano (KAQO) just northwest of Austin and arriving after the terminal closed. I looked online at the airport website and found a phone number for the courtesy car booking...

    What is your shortest Cross country?

    I was sole manipulator, but not PIC. On my dual night cross country for the private ticket after flying to sulphur springs, we came back and did some landings at Addison after the tower was closed. No one was there and it was pretty cool. Anyways, after that we made the long 2NM trip back to the...

    Baseball... The best game!!

    Ever considered soccer? Before you start hating I'm gonna preface this by saying that 3 years ago I was the biggest "soccer is for wussies" guy around. I played football my whole life and never saw the point of soccer. However, I decided as a joke to pick a team and follow it because baseball...

    How do you use your hangar?

    It looks great! We've got a 63 that was bought as a basket case before I was even born. It's come a long way since and it's pretty much the car that I learned to work on minus the odds and ins required to keep the rest of the fleet running. Right now it's on jack-stands as the entire rear end is...
