My AME is being difficult. Even tho my SI "authorizes" him to issue me a medical for 6 years he still is only willing to take my $100 and submit my reports to OKC ... which I can do myself for $90 less. I guess my problem is that the guy won't talk to me directly and his nurse is clueless when I...

*sigh* I can't believe it. Due to finances and medical reasons I've not been able to fly for almost a year now. All this time I've taken great care of my flight bag - even changing the batteries in the flashlights - all the time believing that my logbook was safe and sound inside of it...

As discussed in my other thread, back at the end of November I received a letter that stated I needed to send information to OKC with in 30 days or they were going to have no choice but to issue a denial for my AME visit back at the beginning of November. I did not send in any information -...

So I went to my AME recently and my medical wound up getting deferred. I've since gone to my family doc to get the situation under control. I think we've got a good plan there. I've also been in contact with the relevant experts - who shall remain nameless for now. ;) My question is, what's...

Is ticking me off. For whatever reason the FAA can't handle the load on their server and it's running slower than the old PoA site - no, actually, it's unusable. I don't have time in the evening or early morning to sit and filll this stupid site out and my medical is this Friday. At this rate...

So, my '99 Jeep is on it's last leg. It has tons wrong with it and I believe the amount in repairs is gonna cost me more than the vehicle is worth... I went car shopping last night and found a nice looking '04 GMC Envoy 4WD with 52k miles on it. The dealer, of course, tried to get me to buy...

Well, I'll be... All of my credit cards are due on or after the 15'th of each month. So usually, around the 10'th or so I go to each of their websites, find my current balance and then use an online bill-paying service (Checkfree via my bank) to send them the money. So far, 100% of the time...

If I do get to attend this year and I camp under the wing of my 182 - I can't imagine going for 3 days w/ out a shower... Can you tell us what's available for people who want to camp on the field?

A co-worker and good friend of mine is on his way to China today for vacation. I was looking at what's available from flight aware and noticed that they display the route. Does anyone know of a site that can plot that route? I'm sort of curious to see where this route will take him. KORD BAE...

Earlier this week, a neighborhood stray who has adopted us as her family decided to have her kittens in our garage. She hung around our house last fall & occasionally over the winter but this spring she's been around the house quite a bit. We knew she was pregnant but honestly we thought she was...

This morning I decided to take a leisurly cruise just after dawn. Upon waking up I looked outside to see a beautiful sunrise and CAVU conditions. Soo, when when I'm finally ready to taxi I turn on AWOS to verify that indeed the winds are calm, and I hear, "VISIBILITY 2 MILES, HAZE". The tower...

As reported by the USA Today "WASHINGTON — The Bush administration unveiled plans on Monday to increase taxes on business and private aircraft, a dramatic shift in how the government funds aviation that could reduce the portion that airline passengers pay." So that's it. I know the alphabet...
