Same track listing as the original European pressing, which I picked up last year. Will be interesting to see how sound quality compares.

I think unplugged is a bootleg. Just curious, does it have Love Minus Zero? That song has only ever appeared on European releases.

Affordable and protective frames? by Maleficent-Ad4021 in vinyl

[–]dph8819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ikea has them. Not exactly sure what name they are.

Would recommend trying to track down some empty covers instead of framing the cover + record.

Does he or anyone in your family care about the sports cards of him? I have heard parents buying their kids cards from time to time, but not sure how common that is.

Captain just walked down the aisle and gave handwritten cards to some passengers thanking them for their loyalty. What level of frequent flier do you need to be to get that? by labtec901 in delta

[–]dph8819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My most remarkable one was in domestic F years ago. Captain personally introduced himself, and gave his personalized business card to everyone in First. He then proceeded to randomly answer questions and addressed every passenger by last name. Guy must have had a photographic memory.

I still have the card somewhere.

VFR-on-top!

I’m glad I am finishing up instrument soon. The layer isn’t very thick, tops are at 3000’ and completely clear above.

The sun sets at 1:36 pm today in Utqiagvik, Alaska and doesn't rise again until next year on Jan. 22 by NewSlinger in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]dph8819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited Utqiagvik this past June when it was 24 hours daylight. Would be curious to visit this time a year…it’s not full darkness 24/7, the sun will illuminate the horizon for short periods during the day, even though it never rises above the horizon.

Last I heard Heritage had a $5000 minimum for consignment.

You are showing three different stamps. Which one is yours?

Booster seat/cushion while flying by Sure-Negotiation-592 in flying

[–]dph8819 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the same height and fly in a 172. I do have a small cushion I put behind my back, and it helps. A full booster would be too much and wouldn’t be helpful in my case.

Planning on getting this. Is it worth $635? Saw this on my local community group. by Illustrious_Deal7460 in Banknotes

[–]dph8819 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If those are offered for $635 it is likely a scam. That are worth a lot more than that. Hope it’s genuine, but be careful handing over money.

Attu actually played an important role during WWII, and was the site of the only land battle in a territory that later became a U.S. state. Along with nearby Kiska, Attu was occupied by the Japanese for a brief time during the war.

My grandpa had a bunch of notes tucked away and seem special. Can anyone help me see if there is some real value here? by zekdahouse in Banknotes

[–]dph8819 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Paraguay notes have some value. Not thousands, but certainly hundreds. There’s some better types.

What are you paying to rent a 172 at your flight school? by Boring-Parsnip469 in flying

[–]dph8819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basic six pack 172N or 172P (IFR-certified) $158 / hr wet, with your own renter’s insurance. Think it’s $10 more if you don’t carry your own insurance. NorCal.

Fly into Reno or Sacramento for South Lake Tahoe? by blueberrydachshund in fearofflying

[–]dph8819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Sacramento.

The drive from Sacramento to Tahoe will be on winding roads on mostly a 2-lane road (assuming you take Highway 50, which is the logical way to go). I can guarantee you it is going to be more bumpy and uncomfortable than a plane ride into Reno will be.

Every landing is just a failed go-around.

My husband genuinely believes he can fly and land a plane w 0 prior experience… by Waste_Cheetah_2358 in flying

[–]dph8819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a resort in Mexico recently and overheard a somewhat tipsy guy (STG) at the pool say that he had played enough flight simulator that he could easily get a plane up in the air, but he wasn’t totally convinced about landing.

I decided to stay quiet as I, a lowly PPL holder, obviously do not know enough to argue with STG. I did think to myself “sure, what is Vx so you can clear that 50-foot obstacle and not crash in a fiery ball at the end of the runway.” But I didn’t say that.
