    So, uhh... wow? (pilot in class Bravo without clearance, McCarran)

    I'd love to know how this played out. Can't upload the MP4 file here so I am linking it to Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4caw751x13dzxk7/Pilot class Bravo.MP4?dl=0 I get a feeling that if I tried to pull this off, I would never be allowed in the left seat again, but maybe I'm over-reacting.

    Someone willing to rent me a car at Willits, CA, for a few hours?

    I am flying in to pick up my kids from camp on Saturday, 8/1, and need a car at O28. There is a local Enterprise agent, but they are closed on the weekends. The Ukiah office is open but the drop off will be a problem. I need the car from noon to 6PM or so, and will be driving up with their...

    (de)value of missing logs?

    That $100 thing

    How real is it? Seems like congress, via the GA caucus, is pretty adamant in its opposition. Can it really happen? And if it does, what would it do to you? I know that, for me, it will basically kill most of my flying, making it so uneconomical as to be pointless. I will likely continue to fly...

    So I'm really curious

    Decided to invest in an ANR set, and settled on the zulu2. Been looking around to find the best price, and literally everywhere they sell for the retail $900. How come? is there no competition in this space at all? it almost feels like price fixing or collusion.
