Free sandwiches and a T-shirt? That would be enough for me!
You mean you get free admission and camping? How does one qualify?
I was just wondering if volunteers at Airventure get any kind of discount off Airventure? I know many would actually pay extra just for the chance to be a part of the world's biggest aviation event,...
Thanks.Ten years ago I bought Flight Simulator 2002 which had a "library" feature with alot of magazine articles in it. The first one I read was "Town and Country Caravan" ( the title tickles me to...
I dunno. She and her husband (retired, in their 70's) were traveling during the Thanksgiving season...even her husband was disturbed (at seeing his wife discomforted, that is). But the agent was a...
Whoa, who do I think I am, anyway? How do I dare challenge an FAA certified pilot, anyway? Well, well; I think I should retire to my cloister and study my little beat-up copy of Pilot's Handbook of...
Marty, you are so right. Fact is, I am not a pilot. Yep. I am NOT a pilot. Marty? I'm not even a student pilot! Hah!
Yes, they most certainly did. Including a mild-mannered school teacher I know.
You've never flown a Piper to a beach?
You're wrong: people have reported fingers up their underwear (and worse) many times.
I guess that's true for someone okay with the possibility of getting a finger in their underwear.
Nah. My friends can't wait for me to get my license, uh, certificate so I can take them to one...
Judging from the posts so far, I see that GA pilots and their families and friends could travel without a need to go through TSA. This is important because I've got (highly polite) friends/relatives...
Steve, all I did was ask about TSA at FBOs, with a little nationally felt frustration thown in for lagniappe. That is not a bad thing. I think I speak for many Americans when I say I am dismayed at...
Thanks for making that perfectly clear, champ driver. I already knew that at some airports like my own LYH the main terminal and FBOs are separate, thus making the TSA treatment unecessary. I have...
Then there is a pretty much effective way to avoid TSA, and these people have found the secret?
So whaf do these corporate owners do? Fly to smalker airports?
So one can expect tsa harrassment procedures if the airport is big enough? The FBO's at LYH don't have this problem.
Is this a national program, and if so, who qualifies for the honor?
Is this program voluntary?
What if I were in a Learjet? Do you think that I could bypass the TSA body gropers through an FBO?
Incidently, if one could reliably avoid TSA by flying privately, then this would explain the apathy on the part of the decision/political class (has it come to that?) toward the misery inflicted on...
There has been a question I've been wondering over for some time, and that is; Do GA pilots have to ever go through the same TSA ritual as the commercial passenger? Forgive me if this is a stupid...
I may end up doing that if the stint in homebuilts fizzles. The reason homebuilts seem attractive is for a reduction in fuel costs, and thus flight training costs. Think 5 gph vs. 4 gph. I know it's...
This is a great idea. Might even call it the "ATA", as you suggested. Maybe we'll grow in size and influence; get the World's attention. Bring the E.U.'s anti-GA machine to a halt! Reverse the...
