I am very upsetting to people: I am very pro First AND Second Amendment. I am a vegan, but I respect hunters. I am a full-throated supporter of LGBTQ rights, gay marriage, and legalization of marijuana; but -completely- against abortion, and think every American should own any gun they want...

See you at the concert or at the airport!

http://www.theonion.com/articles/newly-tenured-professor-now-inspired-to-work-harde,35169/ See? Here's a personal anecdote which shows what you've all been guessing was true!

I went away for a half a year, and come back. I don't see him posting. Is he on the red board? I don't like the red board. :(

I'm reluctant to boast of any accomplishments, but I do like it when I read here when posters are able to fly more. So I guess it is OK if I mention that with my promotion to full Professor this past week, I'll be able to fly a bit more! :blueplane::blueplane::blueplane:

I have a question about flaps and performance. On youtube, there is a long video of a complete oral exam. At one point, the examiner asks the applicant about flaps and performance at a high-elevation airport. The student says, he wouldn't use flaps, as that would decrease performance. Is there...

You're too high, so you do some S-turns. Then you drag it in like you've never dragged before: (Start from 7:00 or so)

I fly the airlines (unfortunately) about 20 trips a year. Almost every landing ranges from "heavy thud" to "smack down." Those airline pilots, as we all well know, fly nearly every day. Now to GA: I and the pilots with whom I've flown usually get a far higher percentage of smooth landings, and...

What's the status? Is this likely to go through? And if it does, will it only mainly affect "heavy" GA, and not spam-can drivers?

For the docs: Is saw palmetto effective for hair loss? And (though it isn't a problem for me at this point), is saw palmetto effective for enlarged prostate? I tried propecia for a year, and had good results, but it is so expensive--at least for a drug taken for cosmetic purposes--that I...

When I was a young whipper-snapper of 33 years of age, I started my quest in aviation. My first lesson was days before 9/11. Now, today I received my coveted AOPA 10-year pin. Seems like just yesterday that I started. It's been a very good ride.

Trying to refine these for the comm. Whatever method one uses down final, the actual landing is on the upwind wheel. At that exact moment in time, the yoke is into the wind to some degree, and the rudder is opposite so as to line up with the centerline. Next few seconds are where my questions...

Which of the three high-end, six-seat, piston Piper aircraft would you pick, and why? Do you feel they're roughly comparable, or do you have a strong opinion as to why one might win out? Assume you have the money for the purchase, upkeep, and insurance! (Thanks to Dr. Bruce for pointing this...

We have to unite. Please. Please. There is a reason we have a hard-earned certificate that allows us to operate a "vehicle" above the ground. Don't encourage the enthusiasm for flying cars! [Rip me apart if I'm wrong!]
