    Military Pilot Shortage: Recruiting retired military pilots

    I’m a 38 year old accountant but I loved Top Gun as a kid, maybe the Navy will let me fly the F/A-18?

    Help with background check

    Seems like the kind of case the NRA would love to help with so they can get it overturned. Maybe you can get a good attorney for nothing from them?

    Buying a 150 to get PPL, few questions

    I'd like to ask the experts here; should the risks of damage to one's own plane due to inexperience be factored into the calculation of rent vs own?

    Update on my low cost ownership experiment

    So when I see these under 15K C-150s how likely am I to be looking at a $10,000 bill to get it into shape?

    The slowdown that airliners do on approach

    I hate when that happens. One would think they'd be more efficient, what with the decades of experience.

    The slowdown that airliners do on approach

    The gear too? Seems like we're really moving but I just looked and Airbus 320 is gear down at 250 knots and lands around 150?

    The slowdown that airliners do on approach

    When I fly commercial (I'm not a pilot...yet) as we approach the airfield the jet makes a very noticeable slowdown. Would this be pulling back the throttle, lowering flap, or something else? I'm pretty sure it isn't the landing gear as I think I hear that much closer.

    Holding Pattern Intercepts

    Are holding patterns something one learns for the VFR PPL? I tried to watch a video on them and the graphic showed the plane enter and fly against the flow and then turn around and go with traffic. It was very confusing.
