I'm interested in joining an existing partnership in a Mooney or other complex single in the 150+ knot cruise range or finding a few people (preferably no more that 4) looking to get together to purchase a Mooney M20J to base at Hartford or Robertson. I'm getting back into flying after a long...

St Patrick's Day in Savannah is outrageous. Almost as crazy and every bit as much fun as Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The parade is excellent too. Matt

If you do drive around Hilton Head there is also public beach access at Coligney Circle and a lot of shopping and restaurants on the north and east sides of the circle. Truffles is one of my favorite restaurants on the island (casual but upscale). There are two locations, one between Coligney...

+1 on the energizer headlamp I have 2 of them in my flight bag in case one goes INOP in flight Matt

Most of the time yes, but not if thats the moment he decides to swing it around and onto the runway.

Agree. Personally I would not do a run-up in that area and I think you made the right choice by going around. Situation. Lets say the run-up area is to your right when you are on short final (since I don't know what the configuration is at that specific field) and this person is doing a runup...

Circular breathing is hard. I played woodwinds as well and like murphy have lost some lung capacity since stopping in spite of continuing to play several sports.

The fans of those big engines are geared, too. from http://www.volvoaero.com/volvoaero/global/en-gb/products/Engine%20components/commercial_engines/Pages/pw1000G.aspx Dan As far as i know the PW1000G is the only geared high bypass turbofan (hence the G on the designation) that PW...

Take a second look at the last photo and I think you'll see that the flat bottom is actually the floor of the C-130.

Welcome to the board. Do you do your instructing with the 43rd?

As much as I am anticipating the start of the new hockey season, as with every other sport I have no interest at all until they start playing games that count (except baseball where I play in a big $ rotisserie league and need to scout). I do however feel your pain because I can't stand NFL...

It wasn't just the outsourcing that hurt the schedule on this program. Boeing underestimated the technical hurdles that come with building the worlds first composite all electric (read: no bleed air) aircraft. Lets not forget that the one of the major delays came from composite delaminations...

This is good advice since it relates to the OP's flying area as well. Millville NJ (KMIV) has a very old PCL system which requires almost a second between clicks. Caught me out when I went there for dinner once and couldn't get the lights to turn on when I was ready to taxi for the flight...

A little polish, it'll buff right out.

Tail tie down rope left attached in an Arrow. Let go of the brakes after engine start and throttle up a little to get rolling, nothing. Checked the parking brake, nope. Throttled back to think about what was going on. Thats when I saw someone running across the tarmac from my right waving his...

The merchant agreements with most major credit cards require that the store not ask for ID from every customer. There are reprocussions from the credit card companies if you are found to be doing that (higher % taken, certain amount of money held for monthly disbursement). However the policies...

I had a commercial flight into SAV go around two consecutive approaches. The first time the captain didn't say anything, the second time he came on the intercom and said "Sorry for the inconvenience, but we will be going around for another landing, air traffic control vectored us to the wrong...
