    (Fly-in?) KSAA Shively Field Wyoming

    There used to be a french bakery that made the best croissants. Never could figure out how, with the altitude. Hope it's still there. Colorado Pilots Assoc did a flyin there a number of years ago.

    Any rules against what you put as your flight ID?

    USAFA (Air Force Academy) use Tiger for zoomies that have solo'd. It's both a radio id and transponder, e.g. TG47 is flying around KPUB right now.

    [NA] Is AI going to end actual musicians?

    What's interesting is all these AI music apps have copyright disclaimers/ownership proudly displayed on the front page. Everything generated is theirs - but if you're willing to pay, they'll transfer the copyrights to you.

    [NA] Is AI going to end actual musicians?

    Aiva, Soundraw, Soundful, it goes on and on. My freshman computer science class just finished "create a music video" using any of the music AI apps and any of the video AI apps (e.g. NightCafe) and present to the class. Then teams of 2 for Debate Camp - one pro, one against what they just saw...

    Passing Medical with past drug addiction.

    If you were as busy as Dr B yet still trying to help the aviation community, you’d be just as abrupt. Some of us have met him in person, and profressionally…he’s really very nice. When he’s not trying to get an idea thru some’s thick skull.

    Second GPS Unit

    There are 2 possible failures - the first, GPS system fail means it doesn't matter is you have another GPS unit (certified or tablet), nothing will work. The second is a failure of the unit itself, which is possible but very rare. I'd go with a garmin 175 as the backup, and the 650 as the...

    The new stuff is kinda mind boggling!

    Join the local EAA chapter, ask the members to give you tours of their aircraft and why they chose the panel & what they would change if they had the option. Because you're going Experimental, much of the Garmin & Dynon stuff is substantially cheaper than what the Other Side (like me) have to...

    Finally restarted my flying lessons.

    As per FAA rules, you can book up to 10 hrs of SIM training on a certified sim (RedBird, Frasca, etc) WITH A CFI towards the Private. But it's not on your own time, you just can't rent time ($55 at Aspen) and have it count. Of course you can rent it and practice all you want but that doesn't...

    Finally restarted my flying lessons.

    Aaron - I know you really like Aspen but consider the logistics between Erie and Centennial. The drive between Erie & KAPA is obscene - depending on the route, anywhere between 40 miles and 50 miles, and the longer route is the fastest. Welcome to Denver, Colorado and the Front Range Area. I'm...

    What have I done? Crazy old woman musings

    Same for Tony Bennett….family and friends pointed out that he wouldn’t remember some one he met 5 min ago but once on stage, every word in the song was perfect. Lots of studies that music does magical things to the brain.
