Pilot Zone / A little family bragging
« on: February 29, 2024, 06:41:39 AM »
My youngest grandson plays soccer. In the summer time he plays for a local club team and in the spring he play on his HS varsity team. He's a junior this year, in the previous two years the HS team was a semifinalist in the state tournament and last year a finalist, losing in OT. This year they have started out 8-0 and only given up four goals in nine games overall, first game was considered a scrimmage.  This coming week they will start their conference play.  They are currently ranked first in Georgia and second in the nation for spring soccer.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.  Today is my wife’s birthday, Thursday is Thanksgiving, and on Friday I’m heading out on a long weekend to celebrate our 40th anniversary. I don’t think I’ll be loitering here too much over the next few days, so cheers!

Dictator Zelensky must be pissed right now.  This is going to cut into his money train.

Rusty & Student Pilots / Re: Accelerated Instrument vs. regular
« on: August 17, 2023, 08:03:07 AM »
I'm meeting with the local instructor today.  We'll see if my 170 is appropriate and he's willing to teach in it.  Otherwise, there are no IFR aircraft for rent on the field.  Heeding advice here, I think that the accelerated training would have been great when I was 20.  Now, while I might be able to keep up, I'd rather enjoy the ride and take it slow.
If a CFII doesn’t think a 170 is appropriate, find another CFII. It’s a 172 with a cool tailwheel. Maybe the kid doesn’t have much TW time, but the IR is about flying, not landing.

Caveat is that it is equipped for IFR of course.

Not my photo, but a lefty posted this on a forum.  99% of the responses were pro-freedom. She or the EAA finally shut it down.

This isn’t really a joke. It is an accurate description of me.

Flying up to Chicago tomorrow morning, then driving.  RV-14A isn't done yet :(

We (TangoFlight) will have a plane on display at the EAA Aeroeducate booth, and I will be speaking Monday morning.  Stop by and heckle me if you don't have anything else to do!

Let me explain how this works:

  When it's the democrats investigating a republican, a whistleblower is a patriot, an American hero that deserves to be heard, and must be believed.  And protected.

  When its a republican investigating a democrat, all allegations are unsubstantiated, a whistleblower is a liar with an agenda that should be prosecuted, and is damaging "our democracy".  They are to be discredited, smeared and destroyed, and forced into hiding.

A couple travels to the Holy Land with the mother in law.   While on vacation, the mother in law falls ill and passes away. 

 At the funeral director, he tells the couple “You have two options, the first is we prepare your dear mother and have her shipped back to the US for burial.  The cost is $10,000. “

 “Your second option is we can prepare and bury her here, and that would cost $200”

 The husband speaks up and says “ We’ll have her shipped back to the US”

 The funeral director then tells the husband , “but Sir, you could have her buried here in the most beautiful and holy places on earth for far less”.

 The husband thinks, then says “ A couple of thousand years ago, your people buried a man here, and three days later he arose from the dead”……………” There’s no way I can take that chance.”

Yes. Public opinion is open on Biden’s raping of Title IX. Go ahead, comment. Put another target on your back.

Fucking disgusting. They want to memorialize this into the regulations so they can commence punishing people who are still fighting on behalf of women.

Riley Gaines is the bravest woman in America today.
