    KRBD - Dallas Executive Airport thread... Started May 2024

    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:

    Taxiing past a taxiing drone

    I'm sure some others have done this before, but this was a first for my crew. We were in San Angelo and tower told us to pass the drone in the non-movement area on our way to parking. Kinda fun.

    The Courtesy Car Collection (CCC)

    I'd like to suggest we make this a thread with photos and scoring of courtesy cars that we actually drive. It doesn't matter if it's already been scored 6 months ago, if you drove it this week, let us know what to expect! I'm also suggesting an easy rating acronym... F.I.N.E. A.S. A.L.L. and...

    When your plane makes noises... pay attention!

    So, I'm generally one to "listen" to whatever I'm hearing in the plane, and more often than not, there are warning signs, and it's genuinely a bad idea to ignore them. Yesterday I had to relearn this lesson, this time with regard to brakes. While I certainly haven't actively dismissed the...
