"Oh ****!" is not the exclamation of someone,
who, from other posts in this thread seems to think, was "aiming" for the
plane. And which makes me wonder...if you step off a curb into traffic do
you (moron) aim for a car? I doubt it.

'Nother point. Traffic under power is "burdened". 'nuff said?

I guess this guy actually didn't see the plane. For a second, I thought he
was aiming at it.

Is that the statement you were referring to?

Actually, it was ONE post-not posts. And "For a second" means just that. For
a second. Like when the plane was plainly (NPI) in sight, started to track
away and then went steady again.

Might want to quit wearing the thongs so tight.

Yup, Eloy is the particular place I had in mind.

Jay, I'll have to watch out for it.

I just got back from getting checked out to rent at Chandler--I think I
saw your name in the squawk books. Today was the first time I've gone
solo in 4 years (layoff, move, job search, retraining, etc.) Oh did
that feel good.

Hi Web,

If you're renting from Tailwind then there is a good chance that my name
will show up in the books for:
- 5225A ("My Baby" Solo'd and passed checkride in her...)
- 53564
- 65453 (Not A Typo...Leaseback owner reg's two planes two years apart and
gets the same numbers but in a different order...kinda weird.)
- 0CL (never really liked 0CL ... HSI and very different xpnder...)
- 97V (Parked nearby but AFAIK no longer a part of Tailwind's fleet...)
- 21329 (Dunno what ever happend to this plane...they may still have it and
I've not noticed.)

Did you get to take a peek inside the G1000 SP??? I've been meaning to stop
by, say hello and check it out (but not get checked out..too much dinero
just to rent for fun...)

I've been on a bit of a layoff myself but I'll remedy that next
Tuesday...going flying with one of our club CFIs. Hard to believe I'm due
for my first BFR (Been a pilot for two whole years now...)

Glad you're airborne once again. We ought to go fly for breakfast
sometime...!

I've only rented 0CL and 390FA. FA is a 2-year old 172, very nice, and
nothing is falling off. 0CL is just fine for me, though it has a few
"comfort squawks" due to age. I hope by the end of the year to fly to
Dallas and back (yeah, "and back" would be just great, wouldn't it?)
ine either of the two aircraft. I'll have to decide if the $10/hour is
worth it, although the newer aircraft has an autopilot that might be
handy when flying long distances alone.

I usually fly on Tuesday eves. I was making position calls near the
practice area and heard a familiar voice on the radio ask if that was
me. Yep. My instructor identified himself, and I immediately started
worrying about my engine throttle getting yanked.

U betcha it is...

Hehe...fortunately, they can't do that by remote...!

Unfortunately, all of the CFIs who were teaching at Tailwind when I was
training there have moved on to other flying jobs. I know it's the
nature of the beast but it makes me feel "ancient" whenever I stop by
because I don't know anyone and all the instructors already seem
younger. At least I still get a warm reception from T1 + T2.
