    Flying across the continent

    Here is the “Around the World Planning” thread (I’m not stalking it....) that has all the information https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/katamarinos-off-around-the-world-planning-thread.114456/

    Annoying city heavy equipment

    Move it into a hangar and start charging $75/day, backdated to when they left them.

    FBO will not give me my plane back

    I must be taking crazy pills, when I first ready this thread I swear the OP had commented that they had informed the FBO of the two week timeframe, and had asked to not have it put into a hanger due to cost. Am I just overlooking that post now or did I make it up in my head?

    I got reported to the FAA (not a ******* Satire)

    So we have the size of the redacted black box, the type face of the rest of the letter and font size. Make an assumption that it is simply a first and last name under there, work out the number of character that could fit, with a space and you have a general idea of the name. Cross check that...

    FBO will not give me my plane back

    So the argument is that you owe them $150, since that’s when the new policy kicked in.

    These Aftershocks tho...

    Glad to hear you made it through okay. I think there might be 3 or 4 of use geologist on here. My “favorite” earthquake was the 5.8 that hit central Va, mostly because I was 500 miles away and still had a long roll, sent the fish tank in the office I was in with a nice seiche. Also, talk...

    IBTL!

    Obviously because that was part of the treaty with the Mole People after the war. Sheesh, let’s try and be serious here.

    Pre-buy missed that one...

    That’s nothing a little WD-40 and duct tape couldn't fix.

    Most People's Default Setting Is "Off"

    Yeah I also don’t mix work with friends, bad exipienence ended that for me. I also wouldn’t have made up an excuse about it, just say you can’t go and be done with it.

    Please help me find the right answer.

    If you can’t have a simple and honest conversation with your wife about something like not being able to respond to texts immediately, I just don’t know that you will like the “right answer”.

    Question of the day!

    My wife and I text back and forth throughout the day as our work allows, so we always know what the other will be up to just through normal conversation.

    I quit AOPA this past Friday and here's why

    How would the organization's editors know that?

    What do birds do when the weather goes IFR?

    Perhaps an urban legend but I remember reading that seabirds will congregate in the eye of hurricanes until they dissipate over land. That's some serious flight skill.

    A good plane. Bad broker. My first experience trying to buy a plane.

    Boy am I happy that when I bought my plane it was from a gentleman at my local airport who was ending his flying career and knew I was looking.

    Big landslide in Big Sur

    Complete mis-representation of what Dr. Jones spoke about. She is trying to break the "it hasn't happened lately, therefore it won't happen" denial scenario we see in humans. She isn't claiming a 10% death rate or 9.0 California quake with LA/SF "sliding into the ocean". The Ring of Fire isn't...

    Identify that wing!

    The photo credit leads back to a local construction company that shows up with a PA-32R and PA-46R.

    First Flight with the Fam

    Sounds like she's telling you to move up to a larger plane.

    We'be heard of the old truck gun, what about plane gun?

    That 30mm Avenger posted earlier is actually on the underside of a Mooney.

    We'be heard of the old truck gun, what about plane gun?

    Take-down 10/22 with a take-down Gemtech Mist seems like a nice, ultra quiet "survival" gun to me.
