    60J Ocean Isle Beach

    Hey all, Anyone know if there's a flight school at the airport? And do they rent planes? Looks like any website I can find is out of date. Of course I can call, but wanted to see if anyone had any firsthand knowledge. Thanks!

    The 1-800 Clearance Delivery Number

    Ever since this option was initiated some time ago, I've just never been clear on how it's supposed to work. If I have an IFR flight plan on file from some airport with no GCO, I'll call the number, wait a while on hold, and then some guy gets back to me with "ATC clears..." and then my tail...

    Foreflight and iOS 8.3

    Sorry--I know there's an existing thread somewhere but I can't find it. Any news on a fix or iOS update from Apple?

    NA Dishwasher Issue NA

    For a long time, our dishwasher stinks--literally. I have done everything I can think of. I have cleaned the hell out of it. I have taken apart anything I can take apart (admittedly not that much) and cleaned it. I have used every kind of deodorizer possible. I have used vinegar and baking...

    iPhone GPS and data usage n/a

    I've gotten in the habit of using my iPhone map app for turn by turn directions in the car. If I keep that running on a long drive, does it use up a lot of data? Verizon gives me 2gb a month, which is a lot, but I don't know if this is like streaming data or something. Similarly, anyone use...

    N/A Driving across border with bikes

    Planning a road trip up to Canada later this summer, and we want to bring our bikes with us. They'll be on the bike rack tied to the car. They're obviously used bikes. Not even sure when we got them but I could go to the bike shop and see if I can get a receipt from like 10 years ago. Any...

    Heater/Propane question

    I use one of those hot air blower heaters to warm the engine. I attach a small canister of propane, start the fan, and ignite. I can never seem to use all the propane in the canister. The temperature of the heater starts to go down--I can gently tilt the canister a bit, but then I have to be...

    Rights at Police Stops

    We've had a bunch of threads about ramp checks and stuff. Also about what police are and aren't authorized to do, and what our rights are (even if people routinely acquiesce). This video is making the rounds. Interested in opinions. I think he might have gone wrong once about providing ID but...

    TV's--Plasma vs. LCD/LED

    In the market for a new TV. It's been at least 5 years or so since I checked anything out, and I know things have changed a bit. Would love some opinions: Here are the parameters: Small room. Looking for probably 55" Off-axis viewing might be an issue I'm concerned about plasma screen burn-in...

    Jailbreaking an iPhone

    I've done some reading on this--I might be interested in jailbreaking my iPhone 4 so that I can get an app by Cydia allowing me to turn my phone into a wifi hotspot without paying Verizon $20/month. It's my understanding that even though this technically voids the Apple warranty, this process...

    A just wondering Secret Service question

    I assume the President receives SS protection by law. And we often hear how the SS doesn't want the President to do X, Y, and Z because of security concerns. But can the President, albeit with a fight, really do whatever he wants? If the Prez wanted to fly a single engine plane solo (assuming...

    Getting an iPad 2

    Any tips to getting my hands on one? I've placed an order online with Apple, and it's currently a 4-5 week wait. I predict that will be pushed back even farther once the delays from Japan start to make their way through the pipeline. I have called and visited every possible Walmart, Target...

    GPS basic questions

    Hey all, I've been using my Lowrance Airmap 2000 happily for a number of years and only now am considering an upgrade. I've been so out of the market that I had never really followed the Aera line--last I knew the gadget to have was the 396 or the 496. So just some basic questions if one opts...

    Angel Flights

    Hi, Did some searching on the forums and didn't find the specific info I was looking for. I'm considering applying to become a pilot with Angel Flight East. According to their site, I need access to a plane with at least 4 seats. Here's what I was wondering: 1. I have a Cherokee with 4...
