That'll make you want to go again!

A dentist with the handle of "painless". :) I like it!

Agreed. However, it's tough to beat the combo of all three. :thumbsup:

Lately, that wouldn't be enough. That HAS to change soon, right? Please.

If that is your biggest fear, protections can be in the stock market - inflates with inflation, but the downside is it may not be up when you need it - and real estate. Many have rent homes - managed or not - that provide both income and inflation protection in the form of increased rents and...

Yes, there is time for the average guy who gets in over his head in the soup with proper training. "Pull early; pull often." No, there is not time to say the first word of a prayer in CFIT. So pray before you take-off. :rolleyes:

It depends...

If you fly much in the summer afternoons around Texas, you get lots of suggested vectors based on their returns.

Hey! Y'all are giving Christmas Spirit a bad name. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've not seen it, but have only been in two centers - local KABI and DFW. But even if they did, there is no way they would give you vectors based on that. And I really don't think they do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"Terminal (ASR based) systems show near “real time” echoes." The article also explains why y'all see things they don't and why it's limited in their scope. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here's a good description: https://www.faasafety.gov/files/gslac/library/documents/2006/Oct/6581/Revised%20ATC%20Terms%20for%20Weather%20Radar%20Echoes.pdf Description matches what I saw. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just know it was real time but didn't see as much detail. Not multicolored. Maybe an ATC guy can chime in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't think that's right. At least, not in the tower I visited. But their detail wasn't as... deep. But it was real time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For reference, my experiences come from AF South Central. Very well run. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes - at least access to one, including rentals. It's easy to write off the rental because all of that day is written off. You don't have to work out percentages, or take the easy way and just write off fuel and oil on the trip. You can volunteer to be an assistant pilot, or whatever they call...

Not arrogant. Almost everywhere gives a fuel discount. Call ahead. Some seasoned AF pilots don't even know, but the airports requested don't have to be used. Find one your comfortable with that's "close enough" and has good fuel prices. I've had discounts from .50 to $2 gallon. Flights are tax...

Yeah - I have some pictures I wouldn't post on a public forum. Examples of what not to do and why I was uncharacteristically demonstrative in the following conversation. From memory, that standpipe was about 120'. 156' is about as tall as we like to do. It's also why I fly a lot. Got to...

RotorDude - our work here is done. :cheers: Go find us another recruit. Rykymus - Be sure and tag us when you take your first mission - let us know how it goes. Take lots of pictures.

Agree. Had a friend that took his jr. high age nephew on his first flight. Nephew asks uncle to do a barrel roll. Uncle explains they're not in an acro plane. Nephew claims flight was boring - he'd rather fly the sim and do a bunch of stunts. When we were young, you got out of the house for...
