NIN made the call. Thank's Cnoe

I like the bathroom with the fireplace.... Cozy to snuggle in under the folds.... Probably a little leftover snack in there too... Good thread by the way

Yes ATC.

I hear obtuse is really in right now...

No, I want the FAA/DOT Federal Government to do what the majority of your pilot brothers and sisters want. I (waving guilt removal wand) say to thee "You are free from guilt by AOPA and other lobbyists"... I have never been called a Sheeple, but with regards to elimination of 3rd class medical, think about many that are seasoned pilots and aircraft owners that still are competent pilots and possess a drivers license...Don't you want to help them continue to fly? I strongly believe you SHOULD feel passionately on this as a fellow pilot...but as stated by Fleetwood Mac..."Go your own way"

Pressure altitude. Not a lot of ramp time/rain exposure and we hand wash. Thanks for input. Will check the lines.

If a transponder is reading 500' off on an intermittent basis what is likely cause? 1. Encoder 2. Transponder 3. Could be either? Thanks for input. Last cert was: 2/14/14

Not at all. By all means have your individual thoughts, beliefs, practices, customs...and I will have mine and challenge others when I question the negative impact of them. Especially on an aviation website... Change me. Convince me that the 3rd class medical is a value/benefit...Something concrete that will swing me vs. how you "feel" about it. Others, including myself have stated actual examples of the negative impact the medical has had. Those are not "swaying" your opinion. Either you are bull stuborn, you don't like/want to be challenged or you have a solid reason for why you want the medical. What is that reason? This is a debate. The debate has people on both sides. I have been waiting for an argument to keep it that has any merit. I am tired of waiting...I am sorry you feel I am discouraging your "individual thought". I am trying to understand your position and ringing in on mine.

AOPA and the majority of members are laser focused on elimination of 3rd class medical...yet there are "goofy" ( I will use goofy instead of the words I would like to use) members that actually think the 3rd class medical is a "good thing". YOU are the problem. At least you financially support an organization that you don't agree with even though they are advocating on your behalf. Kinda goofy...

why don't you run a poll on who wants the US to send ground troops into middle East to "utterly destroy ISIS"... See how that works out for you. What is your plan after you "utterly destroy ISIS"? Occupation? Generational change takes...generations. You got the human capitol and money for that? I think not.

I couldn't agree more...with Erik on this Ryoder. You are a BIG G team player Hawk. We had our Trillion dollar run in the Middle East and a President that wanted us out was voted in twice and got us out. THE END. Stop meddling in the Middle East USA. Stop wasting millions on third class medical that provides zero value to GA.

FiFi and P-51 hanging around and flying last several days locally. A real treat to have them "hanging out"!

Markings look post WWII. Korean era? USAF vs. USAAF markings.

You'll have that...(Bad landings) The more experience we get, the better we land, the more critical we are of ourselves. Yes do a critique. Then stop beating yourself up or worrying. It happens. Sounds like the practice opportunity is on retrimming/configuring in a go around situation. You can simulate that at 4,000 feet. Opportunity to practice. Glad it worked out O.K. I have one Cessna and one Mooney landing burned into my brain...and one bounce/go-around in the Mooney....All worked out fine. Two were a "What the %$&^" fearfest and one was expected. I beat myself up pretty good as I had others on board both times and I wanted to NOT do that again as I was NOT in control/along for the ride... So far so good...until next time. DUM DUm dummmmmm....

Black is beautiful...and shows smudges, but that's how I roll. Prefer Black in picture frames, watch faces/bands, cars, motorcycles and shirts-Johnny Cash

Now I know what Jimmy was talking about: "Come Monday, It will be alright. Come Monday, I'll be holding you tight...

Congrats by the way. For someone of your experience to go get it and have fun doing so is awesome. Well done George. Navy pilots already have big calves to go with their big....so you are good. edit...or should I say Naval Aviators? Were you Marine Corp or Navy?

poor young pilot came into club office yelling F#$%! He had recently soloed and without weight breaked a little hard on turn out and pitched onto nose!!! Bummer. plane down no cert for me. got my Mooney. Bucket list item...

Citabria? I have 13 fun hours in one.

Not the context that was given Hank. There was a blanket statement given and I gave context on why I don't agree. You do whatever you wish to do under the law. To each his own...but I am not throwing out blanket statements about others that choose to go a different route and stating that they are putting their friends and family at risk by not doing what they have done...and feel "should" be done.

Now, imagine the above scenario (with different medical circumstances that were far less invasive) and an acute care physician that is functioning...in that position for two years post treatment. That individual was considering entering into a co-ownership agreement with a Mooney owner. That individual goes in for his scheduled 3rd class medical...with purchase agreement for entry into ownership pdrepared for signing...and communicates the trauma that resulted in the treatment almost two years earlier...Medical stripped. Purchase placed in two year...yes, two year holding pattern as FAA did not back-date, but made testing be completed...to demonstrate fitness to fly under a 3rd class medical...as the individual was continuing to work, without issue, in his profession as a health care provider. That individual STILL had a strong desire to continue to fly and be an aircraft owner. He provided support on annuals and upgrades for two years for a struggling Mooney sole owner...and after thousands of dollars of validating testing with records and signed testiments to the powerful FAA, that individual became a co Mooney owner. He continues to enjoy the priviledge of flight. Thankfully he had the perseverance to jump through the hurdles...I likely would have sold the plane without him. Two competent pilots would have been lost. The 3rd Class medical DOES cost GA pilots. Pilots/owners that can safely continue to fly...if not for the decisions of Dr's that you and I pay for...that are a long way away presiding over the fate of your continued pursuit of GA.

Above is the right way to make a point.

I, on the other hand will continue to state that the response was political and had no bearing in reality. There is no direct or even casual threat from GA pilots to commercial aviation that is addressed by existing third class medical requirements.
