    Contacting current (female) owner of my former airplane - wanting to avoid any perception of "cyberstalking"

    Include your photo of you in your Clown suit standing in front of the plane, that will diffuse the situation. Just kidding. As much as I want to say "what if you were female and she was male," I believe Half Fast has the right angle to pursue, to attempt to deflect certain sensitivities should...

    good movies I might not have seen?

    Slow Horses (appleTV+) Good characters surrounded by espionage. Nice, compact six episode seasons I’ve been watching on transcontinental flights.

    How much money should I expect to make in the industry??

    It is all about timing and luck. The industry is cyclical, and unexpected things will happen. If yours is bad, you can expect to make a living. If yours is good, you can expect to live very, very well, even in retirement. Plan and live your life for the worst case, at least until you are 40...

    What's For Dinner?

    A favorite is One Pan Mexican Key-no. Even my 84-year-old “l only eat pan-fried hot dogs for lunch” Uncle likes it. Add a pound of ground turkey for a little bit of texture and anti-vegetarianism.

    Car Sellers Beware

    Cashier's checks have lost their luster due to scams like this. Wire transfers can even be suspect. I now ask buyers to provide their bank manager’s phone number so my bank manager can verify things. Otherwise, no sale.

    How Many Planes Do You Have

    We own an RV-S8, pushing hard for a twin, but I need BTC to top six figures for that, methinks. I have access to two more. In the vein of my unsafe brother, M'lady has access to 360, but that number drops to 59 shortly.

    Yet another I hate modern cars rant

    Admit it, you actually have a problem with the horse, and are projecting on the poor Edge.

    Thinking about... buying a new TV

    As my eyes age, size over image quality has been my path when dealing with video. I had a DIY painted screen with a 720p projector in the basement. It was just fine for movies, sports, etc. and the kids were quite happy to use that setup to game on a 10' screen. But you probably don't want to...

    N/A Sandals Resorts

    We did their Beaches option in Turks and Caicos 20 years ago (as we had kids and my mom with us) and loved it. Killer interline deal at the time (80% off published rates if space available, if I recall, not sure what they do for cheap airline pilots these days). We said at the time we’d go back...

    How do I become a fighter pilot?

    Start smoking a pack a day. Start drinking heavily. Chase women relentlessly. Oh wait, that was my Dad’s era. What has already been said, but I’ll repeat it: Military specific forums for research. STEM classes, good grades. Obtain a good degree to fall back on. Do some flight training...

    FedEx leaving packages on the road now?

    Our regular FedEx ‘air’ delivery guy is great. He always makes the 55 step trip to the upper, covered entrance to deliver. If he has a ‘sig reqd’ package he will always call my cell before leaving an empty house to ask what to do. We tip him around the Fourth of July, and also around...

    Hangar cameras

    So, I’ve rented a county hangar for eight years, and owned a condo hangar for two years. What exactly are our concerns that require a camera?

    Fighter Pilot looking for advice on the GA world

    Not necessarily. I got a kick sharing little airplanes with little family members after I left the pointy-nosed world. I found getting meagerly paid to fly traffic planes interesting for several hundred hours, and it got me out of the house. We then bought into a 5 member partnership in an...

    [NA] Road trip stop suggestions - north GA to central VA

    C'mon, you're a cheap pilot! Just go on Priceline and book the $84 1-star accommodation along your route of drive, vice the $609 3-star (due to an unforeseen college football home game) . It will truly be a memorable experience for the kids, and will be talked about. For decades. (Not my...

    Sorrows, strength, and courage to you, Sluggo. I will hug my 26 year old son just a little harder next time I see him. F*** cancer indeed.
