    Florida plane crash into Gulf PA-28

    This one hits close to home for me. Rick Beaver was a member of my high school graduation class. RIP Rick and Bethe.

    Streaming TV questions

    I have Roku devices on our TVs and switched from DirecTV to Hulu Live TV. Considerably less expensive and with more content. Very happy with the switch.

    The End of N222TF

    Really sorry about the loss of the plane. Perhaps sit tight and see if airplane prices return to normal at some point in the future. I can’t imagine current prices are sustainable but who knows.

    Well, definitely happy with the sale price. Still sad to see it go.

    Yeah, the bubble has to burst. Prices are insane right now.

    Thinking about selling my 172

    Well, I accepted an offer on the plane. After broker’s commission and expenses, I will net $131k. Still shocked that my 40+ year old 172 brought that kind of money. If prices come back down to earth in the future, perhaps I’ll buy another one. For the time being, I’ll have to be a renter.

    Thinking about selling my 172

    I completely agree. I cannot imagine anyone would pay anywhere close to that. The broker has several interested parties and will be showing the plane next week. I guess we will find out what people are really willing to pay when the offers come in.

    Thinking about selling my 172

    Well, I have decided to list my 172n with the broker at my home airport. I can't imagine getting anywhere close to the asking price suggested by the broker, but the market is crazy right now. There is already quite a bit of interest, so looks like it may bring way more than I would have...

    Thinking about selling my 172

    I appreciate all of the feedback. I will certainly consider a partnership. I'll have to give it some thought and figure out what I want to do. It really is a tough decision.

    Thinking about selling my 172

    Hi Ryan, yeah I haven't been as active lately on the board. I'm doing well, thanks for asking. A few years ago my job was eliminated after 22 years of service. I have a new job but not making earning nearly as much. To compound matters, my expenses have gone up considerably. Retirement is...

    Thinking about selling my 172

    I would like to save the commission, but I don't know the value or the process of selling. If I decide to sell, I am thinking I will probably list it with a broker. Using the broker at my local airport would probably make the most sense.

    Thinking about selling my 172

    I really don't know what the market is like now. I hear values have really climbed lately. I may have to contact a broker to determine the value, but I am struggling with the decision of whether or not to sell it.

    Thinking about selling my 172

    I haven't made up my mind yet, but I am considering selling my 172n. It is a very nice plane and has served me well for the past 8 years. I am finding that I just don't fly that much and have too many needs competing for limited dollars. I was thinking about listing it with the broker at my home...

    Tesla Model 3 - Finally.

    Teslas do not have transmissions or drive shafts. Some are AWD but do not have a transfer case. They do have differentials but they are driven directly by the motor(s). Teslas do have battery coolant but I’ve never heard of one needing service (except for physical damage) unlike an ICE car that...
