    Ramped by 2 airport cops and 2 sheriffs. . .Accused me of a Felony!!!! No Kidding

    I have a brother who's a cop, and he's always amazed at how many people consent to him looking in the trunk during a routine stop, even if they have drugs in there. It's like they think if they cooperate, he'll let them slide or something. If they refuse, he always has the option of holding them...

    Tricks of the Trade

    Time of acquiring IFR clearance + 2 hours - 5 minutes = when pax finally show up. Importance of personal business/# of other pilots available = likelyhood of ASAP "popup' trip.

    Meet my new Chief Pilot / Director of Flight Operations.

    Hopefully, he's over the "Hump" in his career. He wasn't dragging his a$$ to get that job!

    Ramped by 2 airport cops and 2 sheriffs. . .Accused me of a Felony!!!! No Kidding

    Some years ago I had the experience of "retrieving" an airplane that had been spirited away to an airport in a different state (as part of a lawsuit involving a Flight School owner who left town in the middle of the night, leaving many students sucking wind). I flew the airplane back home with...

    Pilot = Women are impressed???

    I've had impressed reactions when I tell people I'm a pilot. I've gotten out of a speeding ticket because I was in uniform and "on my way to get my flight on time." I won a custody case over my daughter; my lawyer told me courts generally look at some professions as indicative of "stability...

    He died doing what he did best at age 84. There's hope for the rest of us yet! God bless you Scott, and thank you for your contributions. See you on the other side!

    Biggest compaints from owners??

    When I flew for a Frac a common thread seemed to be a lack of truth telling and straightforwardness from owner services. Apparently, being BSed and outright lied to was a fairly common occurence. One example: We had an early morning trip originally scheduled for another airplane. Because of...

    Pet peeves from the ATC folks

    When controllers call you just as you're getting to the punchline of a joke or about to make a point in a conversation ("And then when she lifted up her skirt, he saw N1234A Contact New York Center on 123.5") and ruin the effect. This happens often enough that I'm convinced they have a secret...

    There was an article a couple of months ago, in PEOPLE I think, about her flying Brad and the kids from SMO to Lake Havasu City, I think, where they spent the weekend and ate breakfast at a IHOP, just like any average family. He's also taking lessons.

    Glad to be a freight dog.

    It was a great and valuable learning experience during the 5+ years I did it, and there were many stories to be able to tell the grandkids someday. And... I AM SO GLAD I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ANYMORE!!! I had a dream recently where I showed up to fly a trip in my current job, and for some...

    The worst FBO's

    Signature DET Mercury PDK Jimsair SAN Northern Air (?) PVD Jackson TN (MKL) - no FBO to speak right now, pilots must sit in "airline terminal" area reserved for pilots. Try doing a 8:00 a.m. arrival/4:00 p.m. departure there. Talk about looking for hanging strenth rope! Smiley faces? WTF! Not...
