Exactly what Llk says above... I've owned a few aircraft and unless you have some serious capital on-hand, you're better off joining a flying club. Things were different before 2019-2020 when the aircraft values started to explode (as did the insurance premiums). I paid $18k for a timed-out...

I agree with you 100% on that including the part about confusion! I was hired and worked under the Bush Jr. admin, then Barry, then The Don, and now Great-Great Gramps and its been nothing but a real circus. Plenty of clowns at the helm that couldn't operate a hot dog stand.

Do you also go bananas when you hear the terms "German Measles" or "Hong Kong Flu"? Seems like the silent majority summed up everything at the moment that politically-correct terminology was more important than spreading the facts. The quotes I listed are factual and did happen. You sure well...

Wuhan Flu, i.e. Wuhan Virus is colloquial for the 100 different references to what the CDC later endorsed as COVID-19. Wuhan Virus/Flu etc is acceptable terminology. My intent to discuss misinformation spread by Biden was to point out how confusing the dilemma was for our No. 1 leader...

President B and Vice President KH were briefed by "top men" that were the most knowledgeable of the Wuhan flu. They then made a slurry of bizarre statements in their speeches such as "You can't spread the virus if you're vaccinated" , "If you get the vaccine, you're not going to die" , "You’re...

I'm curious to why the liability insurance cost is for an operation like that. They have a nice web site and restaurant. Seems like a nice opportunity.

Just pick a day that has a decent cloud layer at 1000-1500 AGL and have fun with your approaches. When I lived in the northern Great lakes there would be a 1000' thick layer at 1500 AGL during the day almost every day.

That is ridiculous. As a “retired” veteran employee of that agency I find it preposterous that they blew you off like that. I’d consider finding a different POE that isn’t under the control of that port office OR calling back and asking the same question during a different shift.

My local beef cattle guy charges $1.55/lb live weight. $200 butcher fee. Go in with 2-4 people. You get about 60% of the live weight. So like 820lbs divided by x. It comes out to like $2.65-2.85/lb for very good meat. One-half of one-half (AKA 1/4 to normal people) will fit in a 7 cu ft freezer.

Five bucks to the fueler unless I pump my own. Maybe more if they carry all of my crap into the FBO.

Upon delivery, setup a stakeout surveillance op preferably with an ubiquitous white panel van parked nearby. When they roll up to grab the package, you and your neighbors appear with aluminum baseball bats and perform street justice. Drag said bodies into van and drop off on the bad side of...

Not sure if I’d want to fly that low around angry miscreants that have a license to destroy without repercussion. Do we know yet if the Houston PD helo that crashed last year was shot down?

Can anyone confirm or deny that the Whitmer flight was aircraft operators “first charter in the history of the company”? The “receipt” was apparently generated only recently after the media picked up this story. This entire travel story is dwarfed by the THOUSANDS of people killed by the...

Pilots wiggle out of crap all the time. Anytime contraband is found on an aircraft by US Customs the PIC is responsible but rarely charged with any crime or violation as they obviously have no idea of exactly what is in their aircraft. If a police officer pulls a driver over in a rental car, if...

Note that her trip was not to “see a dying parent” (I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic). That story is completely fabricated by her and her staff and the media spun “chronic condition” with “acute condition”. He’s fine; he actually drove himself up in his Tesla shortly after her visit and...

Yeah but it’s reality for now. Too many hay fields and not enough tractors and farmers.

The insane market has overwhelmed salesmen. I have “cash in hand” to buy a fully loaded Polaris UTV. I cannot get a salesman to call me back. I have “cash in hand” to build a new 24x40 garage and I CANNOT get a contractor to call me back OR tell me that they can do the job before winter (this...

Is the OP or his wife a Canadian citizen? If so don’t leave out the Canadian Forces. They are absolutely desperate for ANYONE. This includes Aviators. They don’t have an age limit nor really care about height or weight that much (just have to pass the physical assessments).

Operating any equipment in public while under the influence of a mind-altering substance should be prohibited. I think we all agree on that. The problem here is that alcohol related offences are treated more harsh than operating while drowsy/inattentive/high/etc, which cause far more problems...
