Found on Fark.com Have at it. Keep it clean.

You may have noticed that I haven't been around for awhile. That's because after after a long career in engineering I was burnt out. The only thing I do fairly well besides engineering is fly airplanes. I read of people my age getting on with the regionals so I looked into that. I had the hours...

Anyone know of a CTP school in or near So Cal?

I remember an article years ago where they took a 150 up to 16,500' by thermaling. So how high have you been in a low HP plane. Take the altitude in hundreds divided by the HP. Highest number wins. Gliders don't count. We all know what happens if you divide by zero. I probably had my Tiger up to...

I have to travel to Philadelphia the end of this month on business. I've never been there and I've never been to the east coast. I should have at least two days for sight seeing while I'm there. What are the don't miss things to see in the area? Any aviation related? I think one of the days I...

I liked Henning's demographics poll but with a little more granularity. Mostly I'm curious as to how many SoCal pilots are here, but also curious about the rest of the country. I'll leave it to you to determine what constitutes north vs south.

Last night I was plugging in my camera cable (just the cable) when the PC reset and then took forever to reboot. I guess I got it in there a little crooked. I thought that USB was pretty bullet proof and that you couldn't do any permanent damage by putting it in cockeyed. Now I only have one...

The Miramar Airshow is next weekend Oct 12, 13, and 14. Who's planning on going? This year for the first time ever the Air Force Thunderbirds will be performing. I am manning the Angel Flight booth on Saturday from 12 to 3. If you come to the show on Saturday, please stop by and say hi.

Is showing off getting out of hand in Pro sports? You know, dances in the end zone, showy home run trots, flashy dunks. If so what can be done about it? Where does it start? I don't pay attention to college or high school sports but I find it difficult to believe that it would be tolerated...

I bought 100LL at Lompoc CA for 3.37 a gallon recently. Premium at San Diego stations is going for about 3.30 a gallon. :hairraise:

OK big time posters, where do you find the time? Between here and the red board I can barely keep up. I'm guessing you either don't sleep much or you're in the frozen north and there isn't much else to do (snicker).

Here's a list I came across that lists airline pilot at number 13 of jobs that do not suck. http://www.jobprofiles.org/library/guidance/121-jobs.htm

For the first time ever, the Blue Angels will not perform at the Miramar airshow. The Air Force Thunderbirds will perform in their place. Man will that be weird. I haven't been to the show for a few years now, this is a great excuse to go...

What is there to do in the Greeley/Denver area this time of year other than ski?

I'm trying to split AVI and MPeg video into smaller clips. Every piece of software I have tried ends up with the clips being much poorer quality than the original. I've tried different settings for the output but it always looks worse. It seems like the output is being highly compressed, but I...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060724/ap_on_re_us/wildfires We were on Southwest into Lindbergh yesterday and we went IFR through the smoke from this one. I'm so bummed I didn't have my camera.

Here's a riddle I just heard. A car has a personalized plate that says AlwysL8. What kind of car is it and what color.
