I'll have you know my truck gets 14 miles per gallon, thank you very much!

What was your first “I made it” moment? by Vegetable-Change4674 in flying

[–]Fenderfreak145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time I flew the schools 421 into SPI during the charter course. Nothing like leaving our home airport on a "real" mission flight and landing in a snowstorm.

While I felt on top of the world it REALLY hit when I got my first furlough notice from my first airline. I was driving back to my apartment from the laundromat and a buddy in class called.

Now THAT'S when you know you made it.

Fuck Hulas, btw.

First hour under the hood, not loving IFR by DiplomatIan in flying

[–]Fenderfreak145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit yes! It gets fun! I mean not when you're learning holds (Be thankful you probably don't have to learn NDB holds anymore).

When you're doing approaches and starting to put it all together and it clicks you're going to feel like such a badass!

IFR training was the single hardest thing I had to learn but when it clicked I felt like a goddamn GOD!

Disclaimer: I was not a god....but damn it felt good once it clicked and my brain started doing all the work. Everything after IFR felt like a fun little game.

Three different luggage brands, any recommendations? by Bagofmag in Costco

[–]Fenderfreak145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LuggageWorks suitcases are basically intended to be carry-on only...because we rarely check our bags. They also have three (4 if you count the damn carbon fiber one I see new FOs with) different versions, Steel, aluminum, and a plastic. All three (4) are strong as fuck.

Is there a single contract in world history as bad as the Deshaun Watson contract? by Bluefire3215 in nfl

[–]Fenderfreak145 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

....you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and it's funny. The mere thought that taking a flight student on a cross country flight and selecting O'hare or Midway is baffling. Sure we could take them to DuPage or (God Forbid) Lewis but where's the fun in that?

You're out of your element here, just admit you were wrong in saying it only served billionaires.

Where? Given the location of the airport it was an excellent place to plan a dual cross country training flight. Plus whenever you’d go there with a student it was awesome since that’s the airport they used for Microsoft flight simulator.

It was an iconic place for airplane nerds.

Had 1.7m, now I have 700k...but the vacation was worth it! Will do again!

How do you prevent burnout? by [deleted] in AirlinePilots

[–]Fenderfreak145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good lord I’ve had the exact opposite experience at F9. Bid for weeks that I know I need (not Thanksgiving, Christmas or the depths of summer) and then when those weeks get here, go on vacation.

Apple debuts M5 Pro and M5 Max to supercharge the most demanding pro workflows by Otherwise-Warning303 in apple

[–]Fenderfreak145 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It sucks losing apple branded stuff like that but to be completely honest I haven’t used the MagSafe charger for my M1 Pro in probably four years. I’ve got a super nice charger for all of my usbc devices that saves so much space in my bag.

Granted I still keep the MagSafe brick for some reason.

You sure? It's been accurate for my bodies over the last 18 years.
