So now another mod on this forum has crossed the line and sided with a poster that feels its okay to insinuate I'm a drunk. Add this to the fact that admin of this forum decided its okay to out my personal info (my real name) and I've decide this forum isn't for me. I had fun, id like to stay...

True story... Guys wife is going to college at an Orlando area university. Guy drives his wife on campus to register for some class. He drops her off at the building and searches for a spot to park. There is nothing...literally nothing. He finally finds a parking meter available. He pulls up...

Heres a fun thread idea with an aviation theme. A poster posts clues as to what airport they are at and others, based on their vast aviation expertise, figure out where it is. Photos are okay as well as cryptic descriptions. Extra points for larger airports that are cleverly described. I'll...

Sooooo, we gonna talk about this?

It's happened to me several times. I'm taking off and climb through a layer. ATC reports traffic at somewhere altitude not confirmed and I see him on the TCAS and report that I'm 'looking'. Then I pass his altitude and notice I'm in the soup. I've never said anything on the radio to ATC as I...

Please discuss. I'm interested and want to know more. Please provide facts and theories and don't forget links. Show me what's possible. Thanks in advance,

I figure today they can use GPS to pinpoint the elevation above mean sea level of any location on earth. But how did they do it years ago? The 'mile high city' was called that way before GPS. Even has a marker on the Capitol steps at the exact spot. So, how'd they figure it out? Anyone know?

There's a new war on the horizon and it will affect us all.

Fun little thread idea. Using only three words describe a movie or give a quote that identifies the movie. No using any words in the title of the movie. The first to answer correctly posts the next. I'll start with an easy one... Box of chocolates.

Okay, this time I'm talking about myself and I'm not sure the answer. I recently had a flight. Due to late pax I got in late and was into a minimum rest situation. The company had not arranged hotels for me or my FO yet and asked if I could get the FBO girl to help. She was fine with it and...

If you opened this thread then you must have some self doubt. It'll be interesting to see how the view count rises compared to the post count.

Anybody ever launch IMC without an ATC clearance? I'm thinking class G airspace with an equipped plane and a rated pilot it's legal.

This is not in the SZ on purpose. Play nice please. Cricket Choir

Did we already talk about this and I missed it? Happened in Afghanistan this past week.

Say the first word that pops into your mind. No matter how weird, just put it and see where this goes. I'll start: Peanut

Two threads of mine have now been locked. I'll take responsibility for the first (Reverse Highspee). The latest (This Captain is a Jerk) was not, IMO, my fault. I got ambushed by a single poster with an agenda. Perhaps some guidance could be given to Doug explaining that behaviour is not...

Please saw my legs off. Got more?

Heres a spot for life's minor complaints. Things that get under your craw for no particular reason. I'll start; I can't stand it when I check into a hotel and the front desk calls my room a few minutes after I get there to ask, "if everything is okay?" Well, yes, besides the phone ringing and...

Here is a thread to make a goto list of Airports in America (land of capitalism and freedom and all that) that do NOT allow competition. By not allowing private enterprise to set up business and compete with the local government run FBO they are not allowing free and open markets to thrive, IMO...
