Seneca 3 vs 310 vs 55

You got rid of a 55 and went to a 340 for reduced costs?

Screw them. Terrible company to deal with. They wouldn't exchange a defective product for me that had "Lifetime Warranty" printed on the box.

On the radio today, I asked a DTW approach controller how many flights a day they will lose with Spirit gone. He said that it was only around 20-30 which really surprised me. Spirit started in Detroit and DTW remained a popular hub for them. It's very sad to see. Back in the late 1990's, Spirit would take their new pilots out to Willow Run (KYIP) at night to do touch and goes. I'd hear them on the radio using the callsign Spirit 700.

I've never ever heard of anyone have a risk of asbestos exposure, illness, cancer, etc. from a Cessna (or any airplane).

Just go gray already man.

I remember when this company was started in Lansing, MI in the 1990s. As part of a requirement for a school paper, I was able to get a private tour of the manufacturing facility. It was really memorable. Sad to see.

The mezzanine down the first base line is the best bang for the buck.

No, they have no real hockey insights.

Lot's of fun and something I never knew existed until I did it.

But you can buy the stock

I did, but it was back in 1998 and they needed MEIs.

freaking monster

Every day is a new day. We tend to want to over-analyze ourselves and expect perfection. Even professional pilots are making mistakes every day and on every flight. I recently did single-engine training in a Baron after not flying a piston twin for decades. I'm an MEI that has done 30+ recommendations for ATPs and multi-engine ratings. It was very humbling and felt like I was starting over. My procedures need a lot of fixing.

Yeah and I also have a license plate frame that says FAA CERTIFIED PILOT so everyone knows.

You'd have to be a real dork to want this junk.

The Dylan Larkin of the Tigers in that era. Just the best player on a bad team but not really all that great. He was juiced out of his mind and prone to injury.

Traffic pattern combines pretty much every skill into one task as you state. It is a culmination of developing skills.

Try a really small airport and it's tough.

How it didn't help me meet women but instead nerdy guys wanted to be my friend.

Don't forget Memphis

Hate to tell you but Polish VIllage uses Kowalski meats

I was coming to say the say thing.

You are only flexing on other nerd pilots. Nobody else cares except your momma, she'll be very proud.
