That’s FIFi. Don’t know that Doc has ever been there.

No, unfortunately.

So Dallas Executive has plenty going for it. Been here for I think 8 years. Don't know if I will be here for another 8 years - in fact, may not be, but here's a thread for the airport. This weekend we have a bunch of great aircraft from the Commemorative Air Force visiting HQ. Here are some pics:

Insurance rarely really satisfies. And “acts of God” are often exceptions. My guess is that nobody’s happy.

They're expensive, I think a pilot I fly with is still trying to pay off the loans.

Good work there, Dan.

Well, looking at this video: It looks like he was on the roof... which is way past what I realized at first. Good grief. Zero sympathy at this point.

Looks really sad.

Get yourself a good instructor and take a SODA ride for your Private. And I mean, get an instructor with 2000+ hours or teaching because landings are going to be tougher, but a seasoned instructor will likely help you better than a rookie trying to get to the airlines. It’s been a decade or...

Basically, don’t sit there and fumble for the mic button. Quickly clear both ways as you bring the throttle up enough to scoot and acknowledge as you go. It’s always been true, but the recent airliner incidents make it clear you still need to be smarter than the cab.

Truth. :cool:

Humans are curious creatures and it’s a bad thing when we stop being curious. As much as some accidents bring out the obvious dufus or 10 on a thread, even that may not be a bad thing if said dufus gets appropriately smacked down and educated. Of course, there will always be some who can’t put...

I’ve flown a plane that had that exact same description repaired. At the end of the day its a roll of the dice on the repair costs vs aircraft market value. Personally, if the numbers work, I’d say rebuild it for the fact that it keeps one more aircraft airworthy, but if they don’t work out...

It’s repairable but will take some $$$ and time.

Can you approximate where you saw it on Google Maps?

A nice-looking Citation seen at Dallas Executive.

There are some places in Texas and Oklahoma where you could probably come for a weekend or two and split some time with somebody and try to get to 50…

I wouldn't do that. Some people might think you're a stalker or just annoying. If you really want to "network" my advice would be to find a line service job and be the absolute best line service agent out there. On time, friendly, extra careful with the aircraft and chocks, and cheerful. You get...

It's has all the appearances of a sort of pyramid scheme. The people that benefit the most from the process NEED enough new starts to help all of the CFIs in the "cadet" programs / process pipeline to get THEIR hours, and I'm sure that they are counting on some attrition along the way.

Not to be a contrarian for controversy’ sake, but I’d bet POA could come up with a significant list of suspiciously political NTSB reports.
