Hey George,
that picture you posted... is that you on the right?

The psychologist that works at my wife's practice was evacuated from his weekend cabin in Bastrop. Haven't heard whether he lost it or not. Bastrop is an interesting place from a forestry point of view... it consists of a mostly stranded remnant of pine forest similar to East Texas. Hopefully they h...

I just read the article this morning in the "man room". :wink: I got to hand it to ole George, he really knows how to manipulate the ATC system... that was an interesting combo of IFR/VFR getting into Mena in that article. As a matter of fact, I paid more attention to that than what he wro...

Jack and his wife Janet are first class people and run a good resaurant and airport. I am glad to be based there. I actually drive 45 minutes each way, bypassing CFD and CLL, that says something about what a great airport 11R is. Please post when the award will be presented.

The extra $200 or so per pilot is really not that much, That is my thinking at this point, if they want it, then they shouldn't mind the fees. On a slightly different note, I also enquired about instructor insurance in others airplanes and she quoted me $650 for any non-turbine general aviation airp...

Brad, I agree. I need some form of insurance. I wanted to see in what forms others here may have done this. Hence my earlier post about "not being too keen on going naked or lying about it after the fact". I have had two people approach me about tailwheel endorsements, one is my mechanic.....

I was talking about non-solo, non-rental tailwheel training for a fee. I guess the non-rental part is what sounds confusing... it would not be rented without me in the right seat giving instruction. Solo rental would be cost prohibitive, and the airplane would not survive on open rental.

Well, since you pointed it out... I guess I would take the cold PITCHER of beer!
John, how did you know my favorite flavor... of beer that is?

So how high would 1.6 trillion 170s be? Stacked of course.
Or better yet, if the money were spent wisely on 1.6 trillion scantily clad ladies holding a cold picture of beer in a line starting at my table, how long would that be?

Well, I was considering doing this for pay. As there are only a couple of guys that want the endorsement and they are both commercial pilots, then I would have to charge them for the extra coverage. I would like to exercise my CFI priviledges and giving tailwheel endorsements would be a nice niche. ...

I was exploring insurance to cover giving tailwheel endorsements in my 170, non-solo training only. The best that my agent came up with was using my existing policy but adding coverage to other pilots on an individual basis (rouighly around $200 per pilot depending on their experience and certificat...

I will try to keep this non-partisan. When talking about bailouts and stimulus packages the media throws around numbers in the billions as if they were talking about grains of sand. If my calculations are correct and I consider the bank bailout and the stimulus package then we are talking about almo...

I had a similar route. First military, then commercial multiengine airplane, rotorcraft helicopter, and instrument airplane and helicopter - all through military competency exam (CFR Part 61-73). I then added commercial single engine airplane, tailwheel endorsement, CFI instrument airplane (6 yrs ag...

I have pretty much given her everything that has been mentioned and everything that will be mentioned, , so this year I will probably just give her some god ole 100LL!
David

Yeah, a dentist friend sent it to me today. It is definitely making the rounds!
Ole Gar, is that the same 170 you had on floats, and did you photoshop the wheels onto it?
She is definitely looking good from those pictures... personally I would have gone with green though!
