What's up with this group lately?

Yesterday would have been a wonderful day to get a couple hours of actual
with your instructor! Although it was a bit windy underneath, it was pretty
smooth in the clouds and on top (about 6-8k).

Get the IFR and then you will be eager to fly on days like yesterday!

Actually right now would be perfect as well. Unfortunately my instructor
just took a part 135 job in Ct so I am currently not in a committed
relationship! :^ ) I've got 2.2 of actual. I think it is fun. A little
vertigo the first time I punched a hole in a cloud. But I got used to
it. The training really matters. Scan scan scan.

Get yourself another instructor pronto!

And yes, the training - and the currency - are really important. The scan
needs to be second nature otherwise you can find yourself in trouble at just
the wrong times - getting up or getting down. If you haven't flown
instruments in a few months, you can lose that second nature for a few
minutes - perhaps long enough to get yourself into trouble...

Maybe it's the lousy weather and everyone is just ****ed off that they are
stuck inside.


Could be, I think it hit me earlier when the Direct TV guys rescheduled 7
times on me.

Judah,

I agree with your assessment (sp?). However, looking at how some people
even hijack this thread to insult group members while hiding behind
their "simple explanations of a plain guy" mask, I am clueless at an
explanation. Genocide and lynching is openly advocated here with only a
trace of opposition, personal if dyslexic attacks have become the norm.
Sad.

A lack of a response in this group does not always indicate an acceptance
of a presented view.

Exactly right. When the "Thrown out of a FBO" thread got politicized, I stopped
reading it. There must have been dozens of messages I never even glanced at....
no telling what I missed. Restoration of the Third Reich? Pol Pot's preferred
sexual positions? Who knows?

I nuked Numbnuts for .... this?

Peter,

Sure. But IMHO there are some views that should elicit a responce from a
majority of the group here in order to save its civility.

Internet civility.

A new oxymoron?

Flaming trolls tends to breed more trolls and flames.
