    [NA] Spicy Food Thread

    I grew some chocolate habaneros last year and ate one raw. It had me crying with snot coming out of my nose and my mouth felt like it was on fire. Great flavor though and overall strangely enjoyable. The greek yogurt I had greatly reduced the pain, moreso than milk.

    Plane crash Gillespie Field, San Diego

    I completely agree. I haven't flown the RNAV circle to land yet, but the first time I flew OKB VOR-A down to minimums was literally an eye opening experience. It was also allowed, unlike circling 27R at night.

    Plane crash Gillespie Field, San Diego

    Not much more to it than that. I don't know about LJs but it sounds like he accepted an approach to a runway he couldn't safely land on. He then tried to get around that nighttime IFR procedure restriction. I don't think tower should have cleared him for it either. If knew he couldn't do the...

    A Question about VFR into IMC

    That seems to be the sweet spot for disorientation, right after takeoff into IMC + a turn after departure.

    A Question about VFR into IMC

    Almost the same thing happened to me as a ST. Decided not to make any changes and fly straight & level and I was out of it in a few seconds although it felt like eternity.

    Air Wagner..... He’s baaaaackk.

    Plane crashes into homes in San Diego, Ca

    I would edit the title if I could, I don't consider a Cessna 340 a small plane, but maybe some in the media do. A note about San Diego today, the winds are unusually strong and gusty.

    re: Hubris, hazardous attitudes, and denial: Sadly I run into those types more and more these days, and from some instructors as well.

    Air Wagner..... He’s baaaaackk.

    I enjoyed his response to the comment: Jake Marx 18 hours ago (edited) LOL! "Checkin' in" and "with you" all in the same transmission! And just imagine how smooth this approach would be if one were not 1100' above the target altitude at GROVE and didn't have to dive to capture the glideslope...

    Starting off in a Cherokee 6

    Might be a good idea to learn to land first in a smaller lighter plane.
