    Would the 182 be a good plane to buy to get my instrument training in?

    Yes. That's one of the primary reasons I bought mine. There are several other reasons, but to answer your question . . . IMHO, YES! Assuming we're not all living The Return of Mad Max in the next few years, there may be a Bonanza in my future--otherwise the 182 fulfills all my flying...

    Golf Carts?

    I don't take clowns clowning around with guns lightly, either. I'd have dropped my drawers in front of everyone and bent over while loudly saying, "What's with the rifle, RogerRamjet Mother$&@#%&? Whacha gonna do, shoot me in the @$$ to defend my freedom?" But that's just me. I'm allergic to...

    Intercept over TFR in Chicagoland

    Nate, I think you've got the right take on this Bizarro world we've entered in this last decade. Now let me raise it up a notch. I believe this authority-loving, flag-waving, uber nationalistic, thank-you-for-my-freedom-and-safety worship of anyone wearing a uniform is deeply...

    Intercept over TFR in Chicagoland

    Why not start with Constitution-defending judges? That'd be a breath of fresh air. It used to be that the rulings of SCOTUS and lower were a coin toss. Nowadays they're as predictable as the Cubs blowing a six run lead (and not in a good-for-the-plebes way). :rolleyes2:

    Intercept over TFR in Chicagoland

    I'm reminded of a Clint Eastwood line from the movie "In the Line of Fire": Nothing more "presidential" than a pair of F-16s chasing down a Kitfox. :rolleyes2:

    Intercept over TFR in Chicagoland

    http://dailyherald.com/article/20110803/news/708039771/ Tough for a guy to punch a few holes in the sky without getting a briefing these days. :( I bet his heart rate jumped a bit. :yikes:

    Hmmmm . . . That explains why they haven't written back about a quote to install my owner-supplied Garmin 530W. :redface:

    My newest hobby

    I think homegrown/homebrew of most anything is a great project. A great project, too, if you value self-sufficiency. And if the SHTF in the days to come you'll have a stash of something people would pay dearly for. :thumbsup:

    A "Crappy" story, with a good life lesson!

    See . . . Another good story. My personal philosophy is that a life well lived is based upon the truly good stories one has to tell. That one goes into the file. It counts toward your total. :wink2:
