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?

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
