Fly Fishing Fly Tying Basics

I learned to fly in a 1946 Talyorcraft. At the time I hated that plane. It had separate brake pedals from the rudder pedals, but that didn’t matter because the brakes didn’t work. When ever I flew it solo I had to wrap a tie down chain to the tail wheel when I propped it (I know dangerous as hell). My flight instructor weighed about 75 lbs more than me, so it was a whole different flight when he was in or out of the plane. No radio, just a handheld, and of the instruments it had I think the airspeed and altimeter were the only ones that worked correctly.

I hated that plane at the time, now I wish I had one

I am curious what some of the pilots in here learned in, and what they ended up doing as pilots later on.

For the second time in one week, China refused entry to one of the US’s aircraft carriers, which had a pre-scheduled and approved docking time in Hong Kong. Dozens, if not hundreds of American family members had flown to Hong Kong to spend Thanksgiving with their military family members and were left with no explanation or reason why the ship was refused entry.

What is brewing with this increased cold shoulder from China? How is it tied to Russias increased hostility towards the USA? How is it tied to Iran?

Its all part and parcel, in my mind. Your thoughts?

I need to fly to Germany and I require my processor instead of my laptop. My processor is fully functional and when I arrive in Germany I will tie into a monitor.

Need to be 100% assured that when I check the processor fully functional installed in a steal case that when Xrayed it will be allowed to pass and loaded into the belly of the aircraft.

I have highly classifed medical data on refugees and my own personal patients. Under no circumstance can I arrive in Germany to hear that my processor was removed because a security agent saw all the wires, hdd, cables etc. etc. inside and became freaked out and did not load onboard the belly of the aircraft.

After 9/11 security and flying as become a real pain in the you know what!!

I do not make much money and what I do make goes to a sizable mortgage and utility bills…but I want to fly!

My local airport provides very affordable tie-downs and is across the street from my abode. Flying for me will be far more expensive than inconvenient. I have fixated on the Cessna 150…perhaps I am overlooking an even less expensive GA aircraft?
