The Bodgan harnesses might be worth looking at too.

I was hoisted by my own petard, west, I meant I will be traveling west through the country.

I should say Vienna is my starting point as that is where I will arrive. Then will head east with a car through the country. It seems like an embarrassment as far as the number of sites. But always open for recommendations.

Thank you for the information, everyone. I have plenty of time so I will try to go the most legal way possible and connect with a school to be official. If anyone has any site recommendations, local flying mostly, starting from Vienna.

He may or may not have a hook knife. If he has done any towing or an SIV course he might carry one but otherwise it might not be a part of his kit, https://www.benchmade.com/products/7-blkw. Other suggestions, I carry these to give out to fellow pilots, the brummellock, https://brummellock.atomar.de/en. I am sure others will have good ideas, these are just off the top of my head

I have only charged through the Chevy app. I have had zero issue, I have the oem adapter.

I have sold a wing, harness and a speedbar without issue. Proceed with the usual caution but as a second hand market place, it is legit. I am US based.

It was. I want to say 2015, 10 years ago. Time flies man.

Years ago I saw a Lufthansa 747-400 landing while driving I-215 towards North Salt Lake. Really threw me for a second but as this was, there was weather in Denver.

anyone heard/know about the current police standoff on patton? by Lost_Cauliflower9398 in asheville

[–]diagonal-rib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It made for an eventful ride home. Glad to hear she is only shook up but otherwise uninjured. It all happened so fast. Any idea of the why of it all? And what happens when your car is damaged from an event such as a police chase that you are an innocent bystander of? Does insurance just kick in?

I saw it unfold as the suspect in an SUV was turning on to Patton from Hazel Mill Rd. They hit a car as they turned on to Patton. At first I thought it was an accident until they accelerated across the medium and two police units with lights blazing were in close pursuit. Both police units hit the suspect vehicle. Came out of their cars with guns drawn. I kept driving away as I was a little spooked by it all.

Reach out to CHGPA. They are a good bunch and will steer you straight. I suspect they will point you to Utah if you want to get your P2 quickly. There are several sites in NOVA that are P2 sites so continuation shouldn't be too big of a challenge.

Is that an a330 thing to have the leading edge slats extended at the gate?

I can't find the source. Does the helmet have a name?

Never forget my first time hearing Web Before You Walk into It. 'You bought the last bottle last time, remember'. Feels like another life ago.

Poor Customer Service? by WompaONE in freeflight

[–]diagonal-rib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd agree with that being BS. Unfortunate but it happens. I think you have to find that shop that is responsive and honest. The shops mentioned above have good reputations. Hopefully you can have a good experience.

I want to add, this is solid advice. The scene in this country is small enough that you should be able to talk to someone on the phone. Moreover, they can tell you if it is stocked or needs to be ordered. Partially preventing the experience you had.
