    Is gas pricing you out of aviation?

    Not out of aviation... I'll be walking to the airport before gas prices push me out of flying the airplane. I can say that my Motorhome hasn't moved in 6 months, and my boat stayed dry all summer...

    Eclipse ride only $3,590 for 300 miles <g>

    I didn't know one airplane could be a fleet... or two for that matter (wouldn't that be a pair of airplanes??)... :D Another thing... does it really cost 3600/hr to operate an Eclipse and make a profit?? I know a gentleman that regularly charters a Lear 55 for not much more than that...

    N/A Flip This House

    Around here for a while, you could do 100% financing interest only on a 24 month ARM on anything (credit rating?? Who needs a credit rating, you have a pulse, you getta loan)... no money down... buy the house, sit on it for a month or so, and put it on the market after having spent $0 on...

    A real deal on E-bay

    But it's not like the airplane is overpriced, current bid is $20K... so if it sells for that, you take whatever time you can get out of the engine, then convert it and still be able to get your money out of the airplane. If I knew I could sell my Muscrat quick, I'd be bidding...

    So what is the "Purple" board?

    Well... if the OG thread would have been kept up on the Rojo board, we probably wouldn't be talking about it... which speaks to why sites like POA and the Purple Board are around... It's a vicious cycle... :goofy:

    4 place homebuilts...

    A 182... :D It's comming down to maint. right now. I want something I can legally work on and maintain... I do not have a route to do that on a certified airplane, and I'd have to quit my job to go back to school for my A&P. So, it's going to be homebuilt. My desire for a high wing is only...

    Where was that airplane when I was shopping last winter??

    4 place homebuilts...

    So I received the pictures of the Foxtrot4... looks interesting. One thing I like is the gull wing doors come all the way down to the top of the wing, so there is no large sill to climb over to get in the airplane. I've been told if two doors are available, that a low wing is OK... So...

    Tired of red lights <g>

    riiiight... Looks like really good way to get hit in an intersection (note the cars that blew through the instant red light when they used the remote)...

    Starting the Fairchild

    I was at the Pima Air and Space museum a couple weeks ago. There is a Martin Mariner flying boat in one of the new hangars. The airplane probably hasn't moved under it's own power in decades... yet there are drip pans on the ground beneath each engine collecting oil seeping from the engines...
