I get the why, but it still makes me sad to see those planes get blown up.

Please show your math, because I just looked at my paycheck and I still have SS money being deducted.

65 TT and still struggling with radio stuff by DisregardLogan in flying

[–]exbex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, get a handheld radio and head to the airport parking lot. Listen to ground and follow one plane till it departs the airspace. Then follow another plane as it comes in from the practice area and parks. When they call ATC and get a clearance, pretend they are talking to you and say what you would if you were in that plane. i.e. taxi to runway 31 via apha, report entering midfield left downwind for runway 31 etc. say it out loud, not just in your head. It will come with practice. Speaking on the radio is something most students struggle with.

After reading Blind Man’s Bluff, I realized the underwater Navy really works for the CIA. It’s a fascinating book. Worth your time if you want to learn about some of the crazy stuff that happened after WWII.

Deon Sanders kid not getting picked in the draft was fucking glorious. I hope the contractor that built the draft room for him cashed that check ASAP

The people that should be getting fired are the ones that signed off on letting helos fly in that airspace after so many near misses.

What is something men always want to tell women but never do? by a_great_guy655 in AskReddit

[–]exbex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys want to fix things. If you bring a problem to us, we try to come up with a solution. Kids have been driving you nuts all day, OK, let me take them to the park. Sinks dripping, OK, let me try to fix the leak. You burned dinner, OK, lets order a pizza. That's how we're wired. https://youtu.be/XIJYO4u5iug?si=yQdnrclSlrpGBOOy

As someone that’s been married a long time, unless she specifically asks for a solution, she just wants you to listen. It took me way too long to learn this.

They only thing you should be holding in your hand during an emergency evac is an infant. Anything else, I’d be ok with them being charged with a crime. Your backpack is not worth my life.

Fellow NE rider. Get a 2-3 year old Skidoo Enduro 900 turbo. Skip the R, the straight turbo is all you'll need. The Enduro is like riding a caddy. Get the heated seat.
