    Epaulets - Do you wear them?

    Hilarious. Frightening... But hilarious :)

    Plane down in FL keys - 2 dead, 2 missing

    Yeah, there's some mod you can do to get 210 or 220 out of 'em, and they go pretty good. The stocker'll do 125+ knots all day long.

    OK, points for being a Monty Python fan.

    Plane down in FL keys - 2 dead, 2 missing

    Yeah, I noticed that. I wonder if it's one of those proprietary names that a mod shop used when they put 180-horse Lyc's in straight 172's, like the Penn-Yan conversion.

    What's better, bad corporate job or fractional?

    I don't think there IS a worse job than a really bad corporate job.

    Plane down in FL keys - 2 dead, 2 missing

    Might've just learned something. All the ones I ever flew had 195 stock, 210 or 220 modified. Thus or thus.

    The 172XP has a 195 hp Continental IO-360 6-cylinder with a constant speed prop.

    A-freaking-men again.

    SWA DB- DING You suck!

    Another really great attitude that I'm sure doesn't show during the interview.

    Pilot Missing After Shuttle No-Fly Zone Incursion

    Amen. These yo-yo's are gonna' cause trouble for all of us.

    SWA DB- DING You suck!

    So all employers should hire everyone they interview? That policy would certainly lead to a loser airline. Nobody held a gun to your head and forced you to go to the interview.

    Hello Airtran! Thank You Lord!

    Laughing out loud over that one.

    SWA DB- DING You suck!

    If you were interviewing a hundred people for 20 positions, would you hire a guy with your attitude? Have you ever interviewed anyone? Not to be too condescending, but do you even know how an interview works? They're trying to find a few people who fit a certain profile. You didn't convince...

    Poll...TFE 731 inflight shutdown

    Ahh, Garrett Grenades. Lost a seal in a -3 back in my Westwind days. Allowed high-pressure air into the oil system. Oil pressure gauge moved just like the fuel flow gauge: More throttle, more oil pressure (LOTS more!). Less throttle, less oil pressure. Shut 'er down and parked it. Before I...

    super charged vrs turbo charged

    Found these 2 quotes googling 'Spitfire exhaust thrust' "The '109 used exhaust thrust to gain more speed. Daimler-Benz charts show 120PS of exhaust power at 600 km/h at 4.5 km for the 109 Emil's engine. Another German paper shows 200-300hp produced by thrust alone at 600km/h at 10000m." "In...

    Epaulets - Do you wear them?

    Epaulets and ties are a safety-of-flight issue, and as such, are strictly forbidden by our ops manual.

    super charged vrs turbo charged

    Hawker's used to claim that a good bit of thrust was realized from the exhaust stacks on the Merlin.

    I need some encouragement

    EDU is exactly right. You should become an insurance salesman or something rather than an instructor. Instructors who don't really really enjoy instructing do themselves and their students a huge disservice.
