    my flight

    My first GA flight was around 1992 in a C180. That was pretty cool. I even landed before the plane as that was my first skydive jump. :)

    How much wind is too much?

    Also, on my PPL check ride the wind was direct 10-knot crosswind... I passed because my cfi had me practice the day before with the same wind... Tons of xwind landings those 2 days.

    Hiring standards are dropping

    I see the opposite, at least in IT. You have to be a god in all areas/services for all cloud providers and have 20 years of experience doing so... Sometimes I LOL when reading these ads

    IFR Flight Training.

    “Resume own Nav” while IFR

    I think the best action would be for you to select the flight plan leg that made more sense after Bravo waypoint and then "activate leg" on your GPS.

    Evading interior border checkpoints by flying over them

    That was similar to what I was thinking. Plot is this guy that flies skydivers out of a border town, then it's approached by goons to fly illegals over the border.

    Another IT guy lost to Aviation

    I make money on convincing the customer that it ain't broke but it will break soon. And when it does, all the competitors will already be on the new thing. FOMO works like a charm.
