that's a good price. Thanks for the heads up, Gus!

Congrats. I've loved every minute of owning mi e.

My 80hp Chevy spark had it from the dealership. I laughed when the salesperson told me.

It's almost as good as the Shell gasoline with nitrogen blend for cleaner engine parts.

I was flying into PDK in Atlanta. I was originally #1 for the runway, but then they made me #2 behind a Leer jet. I let off the throttle so the Leer could pass, but that's another story . Anyway, that was my first time watching a jet in the pattern. Crazy fast and much wider than I expected. I can see how it can be very nerve wracking and frustrating at times for much faster traffic.

I just wanted to belong.

I had a ramp check. I like to live dangerously.

Is there no other way to inspect this area from the other side? Just an area of corrosion from the "entry point." I'm not 100% sure of the geography on the other side of the tanks.

It was one of the airport's trainers. It was a VFR day with 7k foot ceilings. I guess I shouldn't have used the phrase "closer than I'd liked". Having someone doing a straight in while I"m doing the pattern just bothers me since it's something that doesn't happen to me often. It may have been a little tighter pattern than I would have normally done, but much less tight than a circle to land. I'd never put safety on the line to prove a point or to rush a situation.

I remember my CFII saying something about VFR planes in the pattern have priority over practice instrument approaches, but I wasn't certain. It seems part of the problem is that the other guy may not be certain, either. I remember thinking the guy in the Cessna wasn't going to break his approach; I was the one asking questions about his location over the unicom.

I was well ahead if him. I even told him that I was going to make the base turn and he didn't object Wasn't a safety issue at all.

I don't see how putting a 750 in a bravo is a waste.

That's what I was taught.

that's what I ended up doing. He was 3+ miles out in a 152, and I was abeam the end of the runway. I was able to turn base and land. I was actually pulling off the runway when he was on short final.

okay. thanks. I guess a good rule of thumb would be if they're within the final approach fix.
