...or he ignored the needle

...or he had the wrong flag selected. (to or from)

Call me a nut, but along with liking stalls, I used to like flying VOR too. :eek2:

Sounds like you were following a VOR needle. When the needle starts to move more than a little, you have to turn in that direction to center it up.

that could be, I was trying to keep the needle lined up, I guess I over corrected :eek2:

-50? Were you guys on a bombing mission over Germany? :eek2:

It was two days before Christmas ( I think it was '94) it started to snow as we were taxiing to the runway, the outside air temp was 20° on the tarmac, we went anyway :beat:

It's tough to stay warm in a Seneca. The Navajo has a heater in the nose that runs on avgas. Ahhh.

Beleive it or not, it's made by Janitrol.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!! it's made by Junkatrol.................:toetap::eek2:

I was on the "to" flag, I know that for a fact :gah:

just remember, the only thing I know about flying, is landing is mandatory and "make small corrections" thats about it.

If I had the money, I would take lessons in a heart beat. There are few things more fun than being at 8000' on a perfectly clear day, being over Syracuse and being able to see 100 miles in every direction. I could see Rochester on the horizon, most of Lake Ontario and all the finger lakes....what~a~site atriot:

I would love to have the extra money to take flying lessons. Lot's of schools around me but it's a tad pricey.

ya, last i checked with Holtzy, it would be about $6000 for a single engine Visual flying rating (VFR)

as soon as I win the power ball, I'm going to take lesson and get a sea plane, I got lake front property that would take me about 45 min to get to by plane. it's 3 hours by caratriot:

It's a rich's mans hobby for sure.
I don't know how true this is but, a few years ago, "they" figured most all the associated costs, to fly a single engine Cessna, lets say a 172 per hour. If I remember, it was around $250. Sounds close to me.

Make sure you get your sea plane endorsement, if ya do. So, you could probably add a little to that 6.

Currently in Atlanta, a 172 is $175/hr dry... (you buy the gas)...

So yeah, around $250 sounds about right... I used to fly a 172 HawkXP for $65 wet...

Are you in town yet?

 

[ga-hvac-tech]

Are you in town yet?

Yes... toilet do not work here (they will not filll the tanks)... I think the flush valve is clogged with rust... I turned off the water last time... it is really dark now...

Will give you a call in the morning... kinda late now.

Flying the VOR's is a real skill. You have to catch that needle when it starts to move....

I have some great memories of flying into Syracuse. I knew a doctor in Reading that had a daughter going to college up there, and I would fly the doc's wife and daughter up there in his V-Tail bonanza, a wonderful little rod rod of a single that's just pure pleasure to fly.

For the seaplane, go to Brown's Seaplane Base in Winter Haven, Florida. They do it all the time, and will get you done quickly.

The Doctor Killer airplane. :eek2:

The Doctor Killer airplane. :eek2:

That's only cause the docs like to yank on the stick when they got into trouble. I think Breech had an AD fix for the tail problem.

I have to admit when I first flew one and heard, "forked tail doctor killer," it did give me pause.

I thought it was because, they were the only ones that could afford to buy 'em. :eek2:

No, I think that applied to the turbo barons. :angel:
