Re: revalidating my ATPL from 2003

Re: On Condition and Life Limits

And I mean like zero oil changes, never warming it up before driving in the winter, just ripping the sh*t out of it....still i...

Re: Want To Be a Star?

Personally I am neutral on the issue. But doesn't it all work out in the wash? I doubt most pilots will fly 'til they die. Some stay a little longer, some a little less.
