Thanks for the advice. Here's the thing, although I am qualified to rent an airplane and fly it across the country by myself, I'm still not old enough to rent a car. So T access is a must. Any experience with the commuter rail out of Norwood?

I'm planning a trip out to Boston next week, and was looking for airport advice. Here's my dilemma: I need access to the T. I know I can do this from KBED or KBOS, but both are Massport controlled, which means $$$ and pain. All other airports are probably harder to get to with public transit...

Haven't been poking around the boards lately, but I'll be joining in too!

Always wanted to do this but never was nerdy enough to keep track of the coordinates waiting for one to be near me. I have also wanted to stalk Randall as I go to school within a few miles of where he lives, but have also been unsuccessful in that venture

A few uncomfortable incidents, nothing where I was really scared for my life though. Twice coming closer to T-Storms than I would have liked. Once was on an IFR training flight with an instructor. I wasn't so sure about the flight but he seemed confident, so we went. Lesson learned, trust your...

I'll probably poke around the cavalcade tomorrow like 1:30 - 2ish if the weather is nice

It's not manly if you're not sweating

it seems in most cases the GAO comes out on our side. for example, I remember reading something back in 07(?) saying that user fees were not the best way to fund the FAA. Whether or not GAO oversight would hinder the TSA much remains a question, but at least it's something.

Get Commercial - FAIL Fly to Philadelphia - FAIL Fly while at school - more or less fail, I only flew twice. Get comm. long xc out of the way -Win! Fly to visit friend in MI - Win! Goals for 09: Get Commercial Consider getting CFI Flying trip to east coast

I think I paid $70 at KBED. And haven't gone flying since I got the badge. It took me about 3 months to get the dang thing. The whole process is ridiculously bureaucratic, and the offices are only open for short hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, closed any day of the week that may actually be...

An interesting twist on the story, I had the opposite happen. I had a flight plan entered in the GPS for an IFR flight GPS direct. Took off and flew runway heading for a bit before being given a proceed on course, and the controller got confused when I tried to get to my originally planned line...

Buddy's gone? All I heard of this before hand was he lost a bit of his tail because of it, I didn't realize it got worse. RIP buddy. I wish I had seen this thread earlier, I could have probably made it.

little company called enron. despite being quite the storm, we never lost power here.

when were you at the seaplane base? I was there thursday morning and saw that american/ canadian flag plane - got almost the exact same shot of it. and my photos (probably bad form to link to facebook, but all private info is hidden anyway. too lazy to upload elsewhere)...

basically RNAV = GPS (there is another type of RNAV, but it's pretty rare nowadays, so don't worry about it. cross that bridge when you get to it)

derrr... thanks.

Was sitting on my dock watching the fireworks, saw 2 planes fly over. While swatting mosquitos I was wishing I was up there flying. I'm gonna try to do that next year.

it looks like I will be stopping in at some point to drop my dad off... What time does the breakfast run?

Grant, if you do end up at galt, give me a call. My lakehouse is on the lake just off the end of the runway and I'm up there every weekend or so.

Well, after seeing all the pics from this year's fly-in and how fun it looks/ sounds, I think my dad and I will try to make it down there, but we probably won't know for sure for another couple of months.
