    Glider pilot illegally arrested for flying over nuke plant

    If someone's post was deleted on a "public forum" (including Facebook) they should contact the ACLU. Google Baker v. Honolulu Police Department. He sued after they deleted his and other peoples' posts and banned them (not for money, just to get his posts back and the ability to post again) and...

    Going for an IA: random questions

    I felt totally lost when I was on my forst IFR flight plan with my instructor. He took care of most of the radio calls and told me to do whatever I could and look at him if I got lost. I gradually started picking up more and more on the radio and feel quite ready for my practical test. I also...

    Post 9/11 GI Bill

    I started and got my Private Pilot Certificate in a college program in 2006, then enlisted into the USMC Reserve as I needed college money. I got sent overseas a couple times and I didn't have time I thought I would for school, so I stopped. Today, four days after my obligation ended, I'm back...

    checkride schedule for 1/11.

    Good luck, man! I should be taking mine soon too...but I'll probably get an FAA Inspector to go with me. In case I screw up, I don't wanna pay someone $350 to tell me I'm stupid. Lol.

    Hawaiian Vacation

    Can't really suggest an FBO on Oahu if you're borrowing the plane for more than a day. If you fly, check out the northern cliffs of Molokai. Always makes me feel lucky I live Hawaii. :)

    Flying Over Water on Piston Single Aircraft?

    I live in warm Hawaii, so ditching in the water would be survivable, but I don't think I could find a boat at 10k'.

    DA40 & Piper Arrow vs. C172 and Cherokee

    Definitely. Figuring out the G1000 on the fly isn't a great idea, but I'll have an instructor on board. When I flew in the Samba XXL, the handling was very different from any other plane I've flown, and I was wondering if there was anything quirky about it.

    DA40 & Piper Arrow vs. C172 and Cherokee

    I'm a Private Pilot. Got my cert in 2006 when UND had a satellite campus with Honolulu Community College, and left because of a lack of money. I now have ~125 hours, about evenly split between the Warrior III and various C172 models. I'm back in school at HCC with the GI Bill, UND is gone...

    Side Business

    I'm an NRA Basic Handgun Certified Instructor. I'm not too sure how much you can make working for a gun shop or if you ran your own business...I don't ask to be reimbursed when I work for a non-profit organization...but I'm have some doubt that it would fund my "getting high" aviation fixes.
