flight2000 Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 He left. Can't remember which post, but said he was done and moving on... Cheers, Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigers2007 Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Pilato? Raptor? Granted they are two totally different people but where’d they go? I miss the anecdotes of the aerial atomized body fluid distribution methods and also Raptors photos. I hope all is well.

Andy95W Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 José (aka Piloto) got roasted a lot because he would put out some very questionable advice, that he should have known better about. WD-40 usage, wrong sump valves, advocating trusting 4G weather on his phone while in flight, a cheesy Radio Shack HF radio installation, and lots of other stuff. He finally left because he got roasted for basically saying that gay marriage was the end of life as he knew it. I do hope @Raptor05121 stops back again. He had talked about getting his instrument rating and Commercial license, I hope he does and gets a job in aviation. I think he'd love it.

You and he used to go at it in the Little Timmy thread, IIRC. At one point, he called me a snowflake and then "the Left". I'd still like to have a beer with him, though. Along similar lines, are you still friends with Daver? Heard from him lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Let's not forget about PTK. Personally I still think m20kmooney is PTK. But m20kmooney Garmin doesn't sound as good as Peter Garmin. Edited March 26, 2019 by Marauder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still speak to Dave regularly and meet occasionally in the Bahamas. Heck of a nice guy, and his wife is a real doll. We make it a point to stay away from politics and have a great time together. Another person who left this site is Bennett. I believe he suffered a health setback last summer, and as a result, sold the Mooney to the owner of Lasar. I really miss his contributions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is too short to be arguing about Little Timmys and my appendage is longer than your appendage.

Guest Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 There is nothing wrong with a little spirited debated and I do miss some posters. I don’t have time or patience for hateful or spiteful attacks on our fellow pilots. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually his hf install was quite good..no cheesy radio shack install at all.Just a known bullet proof 100 watt icom transceiver with a unique bottom feed long wire mated to an equally bullet proof antenna tuner.

If i ever go quiet on here, dont panic too much, there are a couple of chaps on here who will dm me and make sure all is well, and i really appreciate that. The one person ive not seen in a while is husky, the guy learning to fly in a sr22. Andrew Please don't invite him back. He is giving us Cheap Bast%$ds a bad name. Who would have thought you could slice a piece of bread in half and make a sandwich with it? Raptor did. Why that Cheap Bast%$d!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DXB Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 MyNameIsNobody was one of the few folks with very strongly held political and other views who I found amusingly grumpy, but not toxic. He often had useful info to impart as well. I do enjoy the civility here but hope there's still room for a few of those people. I worry about a dystopian future where even questioning the superiority of Garmin avionics will be declared hate speech and get me banned from the board 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the one who was lucky enough to end up with Bennett's aircraft. Dan at LASAR, the head of parts, is a friend of mine, and he knew I'd been shopping for a M20J for a few months (including sending one to LASAR for a PPI that ended up showing unexpected corrosion). Bennett's Mooney was in at LASAR getting an annual inspection done when he made the decision to part ways with it. He mentioned to Dan that he'd likely be sending it down to All American Aircraft when the annual was complete. I gave Bennett a call, we chatted a while, and put together a deal. He was generous enough to have me come by his hangar after the sale closed to pass on a portable O2 system, spare parts, extra headsets, etc., that he no longer needs. A very kind soul.

I've had the pleasure of touring his hangar. He was supposed to take me up when I was in San Francisco a couple of years ago but that morning brought a low overcast. Bennett was also instrumental in negotiating on my and my partners behalf when one of my partners landed long. All he accepted for compensation was a steak dinner. Kind soul indeed.

Yes, I was disingenuous calling the installation cheesy. It looked good. The part that I found cheesy was when I asked about logbook signoffs, 337s, equipment approvals, etc. and he wouldn't provide an answer. For a guy who has gone to the trouble of getting his long range tanks STCed by the FAA, I know he knows better. He just didn't feel the need to do the paperwork to make it right, which wouldn't have been that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinwing Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I don’t know senor...his hf installs were for the purpose of ferry flights...when it comes to local fsdo sign offs...I’m pretty sceptical about their cooperation since say 1994 or so...everything else needs a der or stc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
