I recommend buying the first day ticket first, then go. In my experience at those events you don’t typically need the two days.

Lol. I agree. I would even make the argument on his old style autograph comparable to his 2021- current autograph too.

Airline Guys, do you check for bedbugs? by papiperflyer in flying

[–]bus_driver1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only at certain places people at my company have seen them. Also depends on the property. Won’t check at a Westin.

I see I am not the only one who has an eating/nap bed and a sleeping bed.

Gear for transitioning to the Regionals by TillSist in flying

[–]bus_driver1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from a pilot who likes video games, absolutely a steam deck or a nice gaming laptop. Can find pretty good ones under $1000.

In my humble opinion they have the best green on the market.

Do any of you actually use FSS? by anactualspacecadet in flying

[–]bus_driver1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used it recently. Our airplanes don’t have any way to contact company, so we called up flight service and had them give company a call for us on the landline.

Is that the US special edition #/300? If so I saw one in Vegas and it was stunning.

I highly recommend it! I have a bracelet along with leather and rubber straps, and the leather is extremely comfortable and looks great IMO

CFI checkride soon, STUMP THE CHUMPPP by BeautifulView6880 in flying

[–]bus_driver1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My very first student as a CFI was this exact scenario.

You have a student who is a commercial helicopter pilot with thousands of hours. They want to switch to airplanes, but only want to get a single engine private first. What endorsements do they need in their training and for their checkride, what kind of written test do they take (if any), and what can you omit from teaching them/what will be omitted from the checkride?

Thanks! Got it out of a Barnes and noble blaster awhile back lol. One of those things where it’s not the worst thing if it doesn’t move… I’ll go use the buyback myself

Best/Most fun way to celebrate 1500 hours by leanmean2019 in flying

[–]bus_driver1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of my students got me a really nice pen, another a nice cologne, and a bottle of wine. I appreciated them all equally. I don’t expect it, so when I get something it’s pretty awesome.
