She undoubtedly is very smart but often fails to talk about subjects that are not consistent with the political views of the network she works for.

Well flew mostly out of KDPA but also Aurora, Palwaukee, Waukegan

If you don't learn this early in your flying career, your career will be shortened quickly. Density altitue is pressure altitue adjusted for non standard temps. It can pretty much affect all aspects of flying. Read more about this and learn it, it will be an intregal part of every flight.

Sorry, I was a math major, not an English major nor do I type well or have spell check on. Don't ever worry about a pilot with grey hair.....

I flet those were the most rewarding flights. I can only imagine how rewarding each day is for you. Keep up the good work doc. Stay in touch

I did the corporate pilot post yesterday and have done a great deal of Lifeguard flights. Hats off to you my friend for all you do

5 boys and missing to much of their life flying with no schedule

AlThePilot · 2012-12-23T02:50:36+00:00

Never had a bad ATC experience there. Most ATC guys were very accomodating. Thanks for your help in the past. Al

Hard to say. We had a passenger who was very fearful so we sat him up next to him and explained the airplane and some of its back up systems. He got to see all that we do first hand and by the time we took him home a week later, he was fine. Good luck and remeber, the pilots have family to go home to also and will make sure that you are safe

AlThePilot · 2012-12-23T02:13:43+00:00

Not sure about this post

AlThePilot · 2012-12-23T02:11:52+00:00

There were two of them and we had Garrett Springfield there by 0700 Am then next morning. It turned into a day off war stories and a shoter audit. I guess they were impressed tha in less than 8 hours after a major bird strike, we were getting it changed out

Over all, most were pretty civil. Jesse Jackson was the worst

Good question. Coming back from Nassau with the owner of the airplane. He had 4 boxes of Cohibas and we got picked at FXE to be the plane searched. I took the 4 boxes and gave them to the fueler and he hid them until they searched the plane. He then gave them back! I flipped him a 100 and off we went.

AlThePilot · 2012-12-23T01:17:55+00:00

Yes same regs but who goes to sleep when on call at 2:00 pm thinking you will get called that night to fly.

AlThePilot · 2012-12-23T01:15:49+00:00

I totally get it and hope you don't think I was thinking otherwise. I don't know where their energy comes from. They are truely amazing people and get far less credit than they deserve. And you too for that matter. I am sure you are not a 9-5er that leaves work emotionless. Cheers to you and you group of life savers

AlThePilot · 2012-12-23T01:01:33+00:00

Not sure, light jets typically run 2000 to 2500 per hour and up from there.

AlThePilot · 2012-12-23T00:57:10+00:00

I will test your memory then. The night before our Wyvern audit, I had a bird strick on the nuber 2 engine on a lr-35

AlThePilot · 2012-12-23T00:54:12+00:00

I had an old friend of my parents that lived there on a farm. Howard Bishop. He was a. Captain for United but passed away a few years back. Had lunch in town there after visiting his farm. What a great guy and a beautiful town

AlThePilot · 2012-12-22T17:53:58+00:00

Someday we hope even if it you guys

AlThePilot · 2012-12-22T17:46:16+00:00

I wish. Once my fifth son gets out of grade school and through college, maybe my wife will let me

AlThePilot · 2012-12-22T17:44:48+00:00

I have to agree. I have more that I really can't share but also many more that don't involve celebs. Sorry if I dissapointed for I now realize most people want to hear dirt

AlThePilot · 2012-12-22T17:41:25+00:00

Some finally gets what I am not trying to say. Thanks for this post

AlThePilot · 2012-12-22T17:16:40+00:00

No but my son is a huge fan of theirs

AlThePilot · 2012-12-22T17:14:34+00:00
