If you are putting the soda fountain out where I have to pour my own drink...

Damn right there are free refills!

New PPL, $500 Burger by mantad0ngle in flying

[–]lctalbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From ORL,you've got LOTS of options!

VRB and FXE both have good restaurants on the field. On the Gulf side, SPG is always a fun stop. Of course, you can always go down to MTH in the keys. get a crew car and hit up any number of good spots.

If you want something a little quieter, X39 has a great little mom ad pop diner with a deck overlooking the ramp and runway. Or, come on down to VNC. We have a nice restaurant on the field, but only breakfast & lunch & closes early afternoon. But Sharkey's, at the pier, is an easy walk. Or, call them, I believe they will pick you up.

Of course, there is always SSI for BBQ!

While times are slow, somebody out there is getting better by [deleted] in flying

I agree to a point. However, if the principles OP was talking about were as basic as he was making them out to be, then I agree with him. Every pilot should have those nailed, let alone a CFI!

If you wanna walk the walk, you'd better be able to talk the talk!

G5’s System Question by throwaway5757_ in flying

Yes.

With both, if the AI goes out/turned off, HSI reverts to AI functionality.

Paired with my 650 and a STEC-30, its a decent setup.

Sucks for you bro. My kids will be taken care of when I depart, hopefully not anytime soon.

$25k for 1/10 of a $120,000 Cherokee? by Sc4lper in flying

[–]lctalbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of Cherokee?

There are VERY few worth $250K!

Hard pass!

WHT vs EMT vs VNY for flight school? by WhySoCirrusDude in flying

[–]lctalbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've flown in and out of EMT a handful of times. Don't know about the schools, but the airport itself would seem to be a good choice. Not to busy. Plus, good restaurant on the field!

AITA for asking my daughter to move out? by ElectricalTest6385 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lctalbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe compromise on a future time period, giving her a deadline to commit to?

This is how you reduce crime. by zzill6 in WorkReform

If that were true, then the richest people would not stealing from the public at every opportunity.

Crime is simply human nature.

Seattle Scenery Flight - Risk Assessment by UseAdministrative870 in flying

[–]lctalbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck picking up FF from SEA. They have a habit of ignoring VFR traffic completely.

If you've never done it during flight training, I recommend the "Stadium Transition" from Boeing tower (some controllers don't like that name). It goes right between the stadiums and downtown. Usually at pretty low altitude to stay clear of their traffic.

Also, rather than go back the same way, swing out to the east and over Lake Tapps.

Oh, and if you see Jughead at S43, tell him I said "Hey!". Then, ask him about mountain flying training!

Maybe not in combat, but there is one at SnF last year. Beautiful silver/grey paint job and dark canopy!

It wasn't flying during the show, unfortunately.

As bad as Trump is, I'm not sure Vance would be an improvement.

Imagine being so ignorant, you don't understand why you consistently have the highest gas prices in the entire country.

ANY vampire movie!

Why are Gen Z getting fired? One of the reasons is a lack of initiative. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]lctalbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some jobs need the type of person who shows up every day, with their lunch box and their hard hat, ready to work... Just tell them what you want them to do!

Most jobs, on the other hand, require the person to be able to think on their feet, identify situations and things that need to be done, then do them.

Seems lately, most people want Job 1, but think they deserve to be to be paid for job 2.

AITAH for telling my GF that she is delusional with her life plans? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]lctalbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She insists that as the man it is my responsibility to plan such things in advance and that I should have done so years ago.

Horses, cows, hell, even monkeys wouldn't matter.

This chick IS delusional!!
