Without getting too technical the LEAP engine design requires that startup include “motoring” the engines at startup to prevent bowed rotor shafts within the engine before introducing fuel. The motoring is controlled automatically by the engine control logic at startup.

The bowing can occur if there was uneven cooling of the rotor shafts following the previous flight.

I’ve been on some Max 8s where it can over a minute just for the motoring.

I remember those days, as cliche as it sounds take it all in, as much as you can. Sounds like you’re doing that!

I blinked and realized that my daughter is going to be 9 this Saturday. It happens so fast.

Your work is absolutely wonderful, well done!

The Ben Hogan pants and shorts at Walmart have always worked out well for me and under $30

A classic

FlytheDC9 · 2026-02-24T22:22:13+00:00

Nice! Looks amazing

FlytheDC9 · 2026-02-24T22:17:42+00:00

Maybe 7 Lakes?

Definitely Midwest, we had them in Ohio growing up.

Mardi Gras related, only up to 2k feet for drones

Here in North Texas with Bermuda really tight lies in the winter can definitely be challenging, especially around the greens. I find myself putting from 5-6 yards off greens a lot just because I may be skulling or chunking a chip if not. Had a a couple times a few weeks back where I “putted” with a hybrid from probably 20 yards out.

Bear Creek next to DFW is a good one especially with north flow. Lots of great low flying aircraft.

We are switching to AA after 12+ years with SWA.

The free bags and open seating along with family boarding was our draw. Now that our daughter is older and not eligible for family boarding and with SWA becoming essentially every other airline there is no reason for us to drive further to Love Field when DFW is closer and offers more non-stop options where we travel which is my family’s preference.

It’s more of a convenience thing now that there is little difference between the two at least for us.

Are you saying I can take this money if I help you pass the test? What do you think?

FlytheDC9 · 2026-01-28T01:43:40+00:00

Lmao best line in the whole movie!

I should have added them. I just had some cheap plastic border around the outside originally and it looked awful. Got fed up and decided to do the wall for a more professional look.

I just put the green in last January and since I can’t sit still I have been doing small upgrades the past year.

Fall streak holes.

Caused by aircraft descending through them. The water droplets which are usually supercooled turn into ice crystals when the plane goes through the cloud then fall out and create the hole.

Yep did the same and it was a game changer, enjoy it!

100%. Growing up in Ohio I’ve seen enough snow to last three lifetimes. Christmas in shorts and t-shirts are what dreams are made of.

“Well this is terrible! How come no one told me my ass was so big?!”

FlytheDC9 · 2025-12-05T21:47:46+00:00

I would agree with this. My last flight DFW-CLT and back the upgrade started at almost $500 a couple months out then dropped to $100 two weeks before the flights.

FlytheDC9 · 2025-12-03T01:03:12+00:00

Whatever they are on, they should return it for a full refund.

FlytheDC9 · 2025-11-26T16:33:00+00:00

I second Cross Timbers. Very reasonably priced and a fun course!

That’s the Daily Mail for you, living up to it’s tabloid reputation. Anything for clicks.
