    Any war vets?

    1993 USS Lincoln (CVN-72) while still with VF-213: We have a very annoying FNG that we have started a game of "how to get rid of this kid." So a game developed one boring morning on the Lincoln where we would send him on different missions; go find us some prop wash, go get the pad-eye wrench...

    Canard Forum(s)?

    I am a good deal south of you in Roanoke Virginia. There are a few canards down here. If you find yourself in the area, look me up. I would be happy to talk with you about the airplane, and weather permitting, maybe take a flight.

    Difficult night

    That I cannot help you with. I do not deal with that part of the process.

    Difficult night

    You are living the dream. The company uses a couple of vendors for our flight needs. Most often it has more to do with seating capacity. We fly the bulk of the surgical team in to do the harvest. If time allows, we try to arrange for the organs and recipients to be geographically close. Often...

    Difficult night

    Not always. Organs for transplant (live organs) are very time sensitive. Given the chance we try to perform those cases in the same hospital. i.e Donor and recipient in the same hospital. Hearts are the most time sensitive. After crossclamp, we have 4 hours for reperfusion. If we are faced...

    what does a pulmonary embolism feel like?

    In the past year I have lost two friends. The first self diagnosed her acute gallbladder and decided to finally get scanned at work one night. Stage 4 ovarian cancer. She had been an ER physician for about 20 years, and one of the smartest people I have known. The second made several...

    what does a pulmonary embolism feel like?

    Re: what does a pulmonary edema feel like? Best case, intercostal pain that will resolve in time and you go home without fear of a lost medical. Worst case, you die. Don't sit this out. 911. NOW. :mad2:

    anyone out there using the iPad Mini in the iPro Aviator/M

    I am giving this some thought. I fly a Long-Ez so cockpit real estate is already at a premium, thus the Mini, http://www.forpilotsonly.com/iPad-mini-kneeboard.htm

    Pros & Cons of home building?

    first, I fly a Long-Ez that was already flying when I bought it. I know that I enjoy doing maintenance, but do not have the time to devote to a full build. However, I suspect that at some point I will build. Pro: In the 6 years I have owned this plane I have spent a grand total of about $500...

    Safe Password App for iPhone?

    I have used KeePass for years on my PC. Now I have just bought an iPad Mini and would love to have a copy on the pad that would wifi sync to the PC. For the life of me I cannot convince myself to trust cloud or dropbox when my multibillion dollar bank is unable to keep my credit card...

    airplane wash/wax?

    As a kid I would wash/wax planes in exchange for rides or some instruction. Chances are that you probably have some ramp-rats who would be willing to do something similar. Check with your local CAP group. I have little doubt some aviation oriented high school kids would be very happy to do that...

    I drive an old car so I can fly an old airplane.

    I worked (and still do part time) as a medic and have worked my share of MVA's and witnessed first hand how different vehicles perform, and how they protect. Given your budget, and more importantly your husbands driving style, I would highly suggest a used Crown Victoria. Over the years I...

    Touching Goodbye

    October 93' Mike is now a firefighter in NYC. Almost 20 years have gone by and seldom does a day go by... It really means a lot to know that you are aware of who Gary was, and what he did. I posted a link of this conversation to our FB group. Maybe a few of the guys will post.
