Saw it tonight -Christmas night. It was pretty good, the airplanes looked cheesy (you could easily tell they were computer generated) and they went a bit too far with the obsessive compulsive(?) thing as far as Howard goes, but overall a good movie. A bonus was that the all the chicks he hooked up w...

Jump to postMichael Moore is a good example of how detrimental it is for young kids to be teased and taunted while they are in school. This guy is a freaking genius (dripping with sarcasm). I hope he produces another 'film' and helps us put another Republican back in the White House in '08!

Jump to postWho said in 2000 they were moving abroad if Bush won? I have since forgotten, but I can remember Alec Baldwin, what a dumbass. What other Hollywood liberals havent kept up with their promise?
Jump to postThere is a reason that the image of a house with a picket fence in a small town is called "Americana". I like big cities and all but they are not all that America is. Someone has already stated why big cities tend to vote Democrat- the people that live there.
Jump to postI am also proud that Bush carried the state I voted in (Florida). I do believe that Democrats would have had a better chance with someone besides Kerry. In the past 8 elections, the presidents have come from the south- Texas, Arkansas, Southern California, Georgia. They could have picked someone a l...
Jump to postThe American people have spoken, and they have elected the right man for the job, Congratulations George W. Bush and may you have another successful 4 year term as president of this great country.
Jump to postIt is pretty sad though that after a liberal loss in an election, the news reports read "[blankety blank] has decided not to pursue a [lawsuit/recount] and will concede the election." Whatever happened to accepting a loss for what it is???
Jump to postYucca Mountain is a bad idea. I grew up in Nevada (an hour east of Reno) and there is just too much risk transporting that stuff through the state. If one semi or railcar turns over, thats one too many.
Jump to postI am going to Jacksonville University as an aviation major. As far as whether to get an aviation degree or not, it has been said that companies (airlines or other businesses) do not really care what your major is in, as long as you have a bachelors degree. That 4 year degree shows responsibility and...

From looking at the Jaguars cheerleaders at jaguars.com, they definitely don't. There are a few hotties but far too many wierd looking ones.

I like my job as well, most of it anyway. Doing lavaratory services on biz jets and cleaning up around the place sucks. Working outside in the blazing heat and humidity sucks too.

Jump to postI guess it is, but then you would have to say NASCAR is a sport. I consider sports as an activity requiring athletic ablility, of which running requires none, anyone can run, its the people that have the determination and train the hardest that succeed in running.

Jump to postSome kitplane builders will hire risky individuals to fly their newly completed aircraft before they themselves will fly it. You could do that
No reason to get worked up about it, like SupraZachAir said. A contoller actually taught me a lesson the other night.

Jump to postDarren James is the actor that tested positive. They suspect he might have gotten it while in Brazil shooting a movie because I guess they don't test as much there. They are puttin all the actresses he slept with in the past 2 months or so under quarantine.
Jump to postJust thought I would ask all the pilots out there which type of approach and en-route charts they use, Jeppesen or NOS? I personally use NOS because they cost 80% less than Jepp charts. I have never used Jepps although I know a few of the differences, they are not important factors for me.
Jump to postIf you're sick of being a pilot, find a new job and let the younger guys with passion for it step up (like me in a few years). I want to believe that pilots with a true love of aviation (and travel) would never tell someone not to become a pilot. I'm not saying they should never get bored, but don't...
Jump to postI was talking with my instructor and he said even though it says in the 'time- speed' section on the approach chart "FAF to MAP" (which on a precision approach, the glideslope interception is the FAF) that you are supposed to start timing at the maltese cross, not the glideslope intercept.

The man that owned the dog had to have unbelievable restraint to walk the killer up the stairs with the dead dog. I would have beaten the sh*t out of that guy as soon as I caught him and if I had a gun, it would have been hard not to put two in his head.

The coolest part is the different sodas from around the world, other than that nothing that will knock your socks off but amusing.
I agree with Ralgha and Skyguy. When I was a student, I could not log PIC but only Dual Recieved. Now that I am a Private pilot, I log it both when I am being instructed.
