Hi all. Just wanted to drop a note and let everyone know that I am now working an aviation job again. It is starting out as a part time job but should work into full time. I am getting to get my hands greasy once again as an A&P Mechanic. Star Aero is the place I am working, located on GLY at...

What do you think about the Sport Pilot Rating? The Instructor needs 150 hours to qualify. Do you think this would be worth pursuing? Thanks. Dustin Smith

Yesterday I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I went to the clinic where the doctor did an EKG. The EKG was okay. My blood pressure was high. I asked the doctor about changing my diet. I am now placing myself on a low sodium 2000 calorie diet. Diet Pepsi is even coming off of my list because it is...

Went in to work Friday, to be told that we were all being laid off. Also told that there were no positions across the field at the mother FBO. We will be out of a job next Friday, May 7. Well, it turned out, thankfully, that there are 4 postitions open. I was able to grab the weekday shift...
