One without a microphone

You dont. Just put charts up to block the sun like the airliners do.


(6) I got to buy a plane this month to get a huge tax break. Which one?
Oh! and in another thread, I have posted a question about whether to
save a few bucks on a transceiver by not getting the nav feature.

Better hurry, time is running out.

(7) I am a enter profession here. I like flying, can you tell me if I
should become a professional pilot?

Absolutely.

p.s.:

[instrcutor to student on a night flight]: In case you have an engine
failure at night and you are going down for an off-airport landing,
remember to turn the landing light on so you see where you are going to
crash.

[student]: What if I don't like what I see?
[instructor]: Turn the light off.

Old.. but good (and pertinent) instructions..

The humor wasn't lost on me...as stated at the beginning of my post. I got
snickered at your post as much as anyone. It just seems that there has been
a string of "oh my god, not another question about...." type posts in here
over the last several months. My point was that if we constantly run off
the "newbies" by making them feel like they can't ask "dumb" questions or
that they can't share a joke they recently heard (nevermind that the joke is
older than most of the planes we rent), then this NG & forum will die.
I've monitored this NG for several years now. I tend to post a couple of
times a week on subjects of interest to me and try to help when I can. I
don't want to see this become a stagnant group. New blood is always a good
thing.

I apologize for the directed attack....you were just the proverbial "straw".

As for the IP routing....I hope you understood my point in that we ALL have
expertise in areas that others don't. But the last thing I want to do when I
come home from work is talk about is subnetting and RIP

Jeff,

My post was made tongue-in-cheek. I ruined the satire by marking it
"satire" for the humour impaired, still no luck...

See Satire in dictionary:

Sati n. 1.a. ... work that attacks human folly through irony,
derision, or wit.

FWIW, I have made my share of silly posts and silly questions in this
forum and learned from the replies.

And I accept your offer to talk about IP routing any time. you will
find that I have worked in the networking field for 13 years and have
learned a bit.

Sorry, if we've offended you with our ignorance in the past. Let's
talk
about RIP/RIP2 and IP routing sometime.

Zip-Loc

(2) What should I keep in that flight bag?


Peril sensitive sunglasses, a towel, and a sandwich

(3) Which flash light should I buy for night flight?

Don't bother with a flashlight. Instead, have the dentist dye your teeth
with a phosphorescent coating.


(4) My wife needs a headset. Given that you do not know her or for that

One that matches the red "Remove Before Flight" T-shirt that I gave her.

(5) I just soloed, which sunglasses do I need?


Peril sensitive.

(6) I got to buy a plane this month to get a huge tax break. Which one?

The tax breaks in Sri Lanka are pretty good.

Oh! and in another thread, I have posted a question about whether to
save a few bucks on a transceiver by not getting the nav feature.


What do you think the towel is for?

(7) I am a enter profession here. I like flying, can you tell me if I
should become a professional pilot?

Yes.

a black one


(2) What should I keep in that flight bag?
clean boxers for those "landings" when you won't be able to reuse the plan
for a while...


(3) Which flash light should I buy for night flight?
I use a lighter. they're smaller and provide more than enough light to look
at things like fuel levels in the wings...


(4) My wife needs a headset. Given that you do not know her or for that

your old one with the ANR disabled will work so you can talk her into
letting you get a new set of Bose..


(5) I just soloed, which sunglasses do I need?
I do like Lindbergh and use a periscope. No sunglasses needed

I saw a great set of plans in a woodworking mag that could be done in a
weekend with only 3 2x8's and some lag screws

you can probably make better money if you can draw a pirate or a dog like on
the matchbook cover.

I like the satire. Most people have forgotten what it's like the first time
they got involved in something. Like in the latest AOPA mag, there's
nothing wrong with saying that you don't know. Asking questions is always a
good thing. But those of us with the genetic disease of MAS* are frequently
unable to ask questions because we already "know" the answer.

*Male Answer Syndrome - the ability to come up with an answer to ANY
question.

No worries. Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

Fly safely,
Deep
