Sorry guys. This wasn’t getting any traction under an old post... I think it’s pretty funny and I’m sure there are more anecdotes to be told so I gave it it’s own thread. At JQF we have a controller that I think moon-lights as an auctioneer. Anyway scroll to 23:50... the remaining audio is...

So, I put the thingamabob inside the whatchamacallit, turned the doohickey but the wuteveritis still doesn't work... any ideas? Note: I already tried modulating the nebulizer...

Do you really know who that person is that sits across from you, at the office...? Just found out that a guy I've worked with for the past couple of years, and appeared to be an average guy, Ex-Marine, family man, etc... was arrested last week for attempted rape, assault on a female, plus...

Worked 4-midnight shifts this week (6days in a row). Today was my first day off and the weather was beautiful! I got to bed at 12:40am and got up with they wife at 6:30 to share breakfast and see her off to work. My work schedule and weather had kept me grounded the last seven days so even...

As some of you may recall I bought an airplane last October. After a 6 week pre-purchase and full annual I spent the next several weeks fulfilling my insurance requirements and took my wife up for one 100 burger... Since then the weather has thoroughly SUK'D and so has my work schedule... Just...

How hard do you have to think when reporting which way you're coming from or which way you intend to go? "Bugsmasher N1234 five miles uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, south, no, north...west, no, northeast...Yea, Bugsmasher N1234 five miles northeast..." LOL... Yesterday I called Tower expecting a left...

Did @eman1200 wash the sneakers or toss them in the trash...

I recently started having a weird problem with my radios. When I power up the radios after engine start, I try to call Ground and they can't hear me (they report garbled/unreadable). After several attempts I can get enough thru to them that I get cleared to taxi to the runway... By the time I...

Going through my dad's stuff, after he passed, I came across the owners manual from his 1974 Cessna Skyhawk... I know from experience these old manuals can be pricey so I'm donating it here; hopefully to a student pilot on a budget...Please, FOR PERSONAL USE... THIS IS NOT SO YOU CAN MAKE A...

This may be a dumb question, and if so please forgive my senior moment... I was messing with the GNS 430 simulator... I had built a flightplan in foreflight and was loading it into the Sim. I had created a user waypoint in Foreflight and when I tried to put it in the 430 it was not...

I kinda already announced this in another thread but @eman1200 said it deserved its own thread, so here we go... I've read a lot of threads and also did a lot of research, but it wasn't until I got a$$ deep in the process before I realized how nerve racking buying an airplane can be...

So, I'm in the midst of finally purchasing an airplane. I've arranged for an extensive prepurchase (as soon as the weather cooperates) this week at a MSC. I've been spending a lot of time researching its history and have even reached out to a couple of the previous owners. I found that the...

Found this Previous thread (very) short term insurance I even put in my 2 cents but the thread ended abruptly with no conclusions... I am now in need of some advice on the subject... I'm looking at an airplane that has both a lapsed annual and lapsed insurance (annual expired May 2018)...

First Time Buyer Jitters here... How much stock should I put in the VREF value since I don't value some of the stuff on the equipment list as much as VREF does, and I know I'm going to have to install ADSB. Also the airplane has had 2 Gear-up incidents back 30 years ago, and has flown...

Last Monday I get a frantic call from my sister... "Dad's blood pressure is 80/30 and he has pains in his chest! Ambulance is on the way!" I drop everything and head out to meet them at the hospital. Diagnosis: HEART ATTACK! "This hospital can't do stents so he has to be transported...

So @eman1200 invites me and Cathy for a ride and lunch at Myrtle Beach. Now Cathy has not stopped bugging me that she wants to buy Mooney... what's a guy to do?:dunno:
