    Most embarassing GA story...

    So I'm at the field yesterday getting ready for a dual flight. Sitting at the table when I come in is a roughly 22 y/o brunette bombshell in a little sundress. I'm doing my best to slyly check her out, and I suspect failing. My CFI (a tough old bird) arrives and says he needed to meet with this...

    What a great day...

    So I've been taking lessons for my PPL since January 1. It's been fun, but every stinking time I go up the sky is somewhat overcast, the air is bumpy, the temperature is freezing or less. I've been progressing fairly quick, with just over 20 hours now, 8+ PIC. It just hadnt REALLY enjoyed flying...

    New Presidential Helicopter $400M Each!

    Hell BHO took Air Force 1 for the 150 mile hop to Virginia yesterday. Given the fuel costs, I think I would have prefered the helo. It really gets me that he can do that, but on one calls him on it.

    Missing Aircraft between Catalina and Orange County

    Huh. A tour plane operated by a low time PPL? Did I read that right?

    Law enforcement overreaction?

    I'm no cop, but one thing I know 100% is a PIT manuver just doesnt work at those speeds, and also seriously doubt that its department policy for an officer to PIT a suspect that early in a chase. I know when my dad was a state trooper in Arizona, PIT was the absolute last option, its extremely...

    I want to be an astronaut when I grow up

    Good article. Good place. I miss it some times. If I could afford to still work there, I probably would. Aviation Challenge is similarly good. I used to love teaching the aerodynamics section to high school kids. If you did it right, you could really see the light bulbs switch on. The land and...

    I want to be an astronaut when I grow up

    Did you know The Space and Rocket Center also has an aviation camp called Aviation Challenge? (Think Top Gun Camp) its awesome. I worked there for awhile in the advanced program (high school age). I consider it the most rewarding thing I've done in my life. Any time I worry about kids today, I...

    Go Steelers!

    That was a really good game. Could easily have gone the other way. Congrats to the Steelers.

    Go Steelers!

    LOL. Difference of opinion I guess. The same guys that say the Steelers D is so great also said AZ would never beat Atlanta etc... So Dan. How about the loser has to put the winning team's logo up as his avatar for a month? :) Your Bonanza looks pretty good there, but I think a Cardinal would...

    Go Steelers!

    I agree, the Steelers can execute. I watched their last couple games. But, they are playing in "been there, done that" mentality, and I dont think they are respecting the threat. Did you watch the Cards last game? Philly had one of the top 2 or 3 defenses in the NFL, and they got worked...

    Go Steelers!

    That and a lot a heart. The Birds want it more than anyone else, and that's why they'll win.
