I have a 430 in the panel. It is handy to back up the VOR & pilotage I navigate by. I try to avoid pushing to many buttons on the GPS , lest I lose it all. It is very handy for GS. & the Pax like the magenta line thingy. Dave

I go to the airport and pull my plane out out the hangar. I fly VFR( visual flight rules) so no flight plan needed, I take off when i want, occasionally there will be one or two other planes i need wait for. Generally not very long(less than 5 minutes) I do use radar services from ground...

not yet, Innocent until the act is committed. But he does need to decide which way to turn. Or unless he is a Christian, then he is biblically damned for thinking it. (committing a sin in your heart is a sin). Dave

Nothing else matters. Either you are a thief or you are not. No grey area here. Dave

Ibuprofen chiropractor , kidney belt and guts. getting old is heck. Dave

My Dad taught me to navigate in the sixties, That is how I still go. I like and use the VOR system. I find it easy to use. My club planes have 430 GPS's , I can just barely get up the moving map , and use it as a back up. Dave

What do you want to do? spend the next five years building the plane of your dreams? Or spend the next five years flying to the places of your dreams? I built too many cars & bikes before I became a pilot. Now , nearing the 60 mark I only want to fly, not build anymore. Your desires may...

Easy answer. did you do it? they be a man and pay it. If you did not do it fight it to the supreme court if needed. I saw one post about the stop sign camera's the poster was surprised to find that if you fail to stop ( cross the white line by even an inch) you were sited. DUH!! the...

Just never take a FST. It only give the police a chance to lie and claim you failed it . It doesn't matter if you really do. they take the cops word that you failed. It happened to me. Dave

the Chevy has a great motor, but they have never made a great chassis. My Son in laws Chev Diesel is quieter than a Ford, But the Ford is a better tow rig. If you want a good street truck the Chev will do. If you do real heavy duty work, get the Ford. The older 1/2 tons(chev) will buckle...

Today I was way too close to hundreds of other cars. Luckily nobody was killed in the mall parking lot.

so much depends on where you are. Our weather patterns are such that six is my minimum, however some areas that may be closer to the norm and more acceptable.

There are several more mach three planes. just none that are decent fighters. plenty of "X" planes did Mach 3. but the poster is seeming to be claiming to be a USAF pilot of a mach three aircraft. A doubtful claim. I suspect a troll has ignited a fire here. Dave

USAF??? Last I checked the USAF did not fly MIG's. besides we know now the foxbat was not a great interceptor. It is easily beat in any maneuvering combat.

What U.S.A.F. plane can fly that fast? Not an F-15 or F-22 or a F-35. The Black bird did. Besides mach 3 is always at altitudes where the Hg and temp posted are impossible. Actually it is the glass that has limited Mach flight. At low levels the heat of mach flight damages the window's...

I am a club member http://www.valleyfliers.com/ and spend about $100 an hour per yr. I am blue collar and recently my wife lost her job so money has tightened up. I still find a way. Before learning to fly I rode dirt bikes and raced cars. Neither were really any cheaper. Cars...

flying is as expensive as you want it to be. I could fish for less money, but I could also spend more on fishing that I do on flying. While my friends will buy a new helmet or a set of pipes, I go fly. Instead of big tires & wheels for my truck I go fly. Instead of clubs and green fees. I go...

Engineering, Mechanical design, fabrication and product sales. I run a Muffler Shoppe.

there were a few magazine articals about this family of A.C repo. I liked the show. Dave

I am 20 minutes from Auburn Muni S50 and Boeing BFI. I have club planes at both. Dave
