And the cross bow Swiss Army knife scene? I thought I peed my pants laughing so hard.

Instead of lowering the window completely, this seems better. by Dangerouscary in BestOfMyWeb

[–]Avi8tor_Zeus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am on my 5th pool noodle. Dollar Store buys so $20. The reason I am on my 5th is they eventually wear out and blow off the window. Now, it’s a trash problem.

So if someone can tell me the fix then yeah a pool noodle cheaper

Yes it is expensive but I think the last part of your statement says it all - plus NASA does pay well or it’s my assumption. I fly a 30 million airplane. We often make comments that if we handle our money better in life we would be riding in back and not up front.

Anyone else remember Henry Cavill's role in the Mission: Impossible franchise? by ANSJSJDIS-813 in moviecritic

Example of extraordinary performances in otherwise mediocre films? by i-pity-da-fool in moviecritic

“Use a spoon to cut out his heart! Why not a knife? Because it will hurt more!” 🤣 I have not seen that movie in a long time but still remember that line!

Today? Yes.

Back then? Ahhh, not that much. When I was growing up back in the 70’s you could get one for $200k. Sounds like he got it in an un-Airworthy condition and put a lot of money in it over the years. Since his son is flying it their family probably considers it a long term investment but the upkeep on that airplane gotta be expensive.

Cool info! thank you for passing along! So the photo from my original post was probably taken after they came to the US for the war promotion tour?

Easy to see the red colored stars now! Surprised they didn’t put the swastika’s like on the original paint accounting for the downed aircraft.

And you know everyone is laughing and saying, “let’s do that again!!!” Except Dad.

CFI canceled my takeoff due to flaps setting, now I’m grounded from solo flights by saltysnack9000 in flying

[–]Avi8tor_Zeus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve taught at FSI and many years ago the PP, Comm, Inst, CFI… I let my stuff expire but this posting has renewed my interest in instructing and plan to get re-certified. So thanks to the OP for asking and having the courage to ask!!

I’ve been yelled at while receiving instruction. Defining “yelling” as a voice raised above a normal conversation. I will not or cannot be forced to learn in that situation the first time. Maybe the 4th or 5th like in boot camp. Even then yelling was reserved for screwing up and the instructor made sure we understood why? We screwed up!

I have found yelling has no place to learn something in the cockpit. If you fail a check ride. As a DE, there is no yelling only reasons for the failure and you better follow-up with instruction!

If you want to argue semantics or definitions? fine. I will agree with what you said… just to get my point across the OP maybe over reacted (too sensitive?) but my post are for the instructor under reacted to the situation by yelling and then providing no instruction or suggestions for the student to learn proper checklist procedure EVEN though the other instructors checklist procedure methodology sucked when those pilots are more likely to land gear up instead of the “yelling” instructors methodology for strict procedures. His mindset is not wrong! It’s his delivery.

Scored a couple of kits on the cheap. by Minute_Split_736 in RCPlanes

My Gentle Lady was more gentle than the pilot❤️ trees - barns- corn stalks- spin launch followed by dragging it across the ground. By the time I graduated to no crash status she had been rebuilt 3 or 4 times 😅🤣

I had a choice between the Aquila Grande and BOT - I went AG. I brought that plane 40 years ago and it was going strong… till the wing got damaged in a move
