Eating a soup sandwich = getting a straw, sucking it up and driving on lol. I've been there man, hell, last weekend I went around the pattern after 3 weeks of no flying and my first landing I firmly 3 pointed it when I was sure I still had 20' of air between me and terra firma. Subsequent...

Working on it!!!

Finished up the last of my solo time on Sunday, 1.2 hours. Flew around a bunch, did a simulated engine out over Stony Island and lined up on the grass strip they have there. Did a bunch of crosswind landings, which got interesting as after I got up in the air it started gusting to 15. I was...

Glad you got the pooch back! I know I'd be a mess if I was in that situation.

Finally got back in the air today! It'd been a month and a half with the weather and the holidays etc. Had a nice crosswind no matter which runway I chose. I guess it's like riding a bike, you don't forget that easy! Flew around a little at first to get the feel back, then beat the pattern up...

I don't know man, I graduated in '98, but it really had me shaken up for a minute.

I once had a dream that I decided to drop ethics in college, quit going to the class, but forgot to drop it. Failed the class and didn't graduate. I woke up so convinced it was true, I had to go dig out my transcripts to verify I did take the class and pass. Craziness.

Nice! Congrats!

Tell me about it. Beautiful day except for the wind. Gusts to 30. So I watched the plows clear the drifting snow from the runways, drank a bunch of coffee, and airport bummed it for a couple hours. looks like I might have to skip out on work early to take advantage of nice days during the week.

Hosed by the weather again. It's been over a month since I've been able to fly. :mad:

This is sad to hear. Die Hard of course comes to mind first, but a close second was his Sheriff of Nottingham portrayal in Robin Hood. He always had great comic relief even as the villain, which he played so well. RIP

Believe it or not, Greenland has cell service. When I went up there to do some work at Thule Air Base, I took my iPhone so I would have my music. Imagine my surprise when I was in processing to get a text message proclaiming I was on whatever carrier it was, and that international data charges...

This is awesome. I love it when the public wins one, and dishonest politicians get caught under the spotlight. Say what you will about the Fed, but if they find out terms are not adhered to involving funding, watch out.

Being a bit younger, my first computer was an Apple IIC. I remember writing programs in basic. Fast forward to present, one of my hobbies is fixing and restoring golden age arcade games. Mostly board work/component troubleshooting. It's amazing how something using 30+ years old electronic...

I am a Project Manager as well, though I'm in Construction. MicroStation, Primavera, and Outlook are my life lol.

On March 3, 1969 the United States Navy established an elite school for the top one percent of its pilots. Its purpose was to teach the lost art of aerial combat and to insure that the handful of men who graduated were the best fighter pilots in the world. They succeeded. Today, the Navy calls...

We could probably sell tickets to that event, maybe even a PPV...

:yeahthat:

If he is indeed banned now, that's too bad. While I don't agree with some of his ideas, I always looked forward to his posts.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a great day!
