There is a poster on Avcanada who thinks this site will fold.
[quote][color=rgb(50, 61, 79)][font=lucida grande][size=1.35em]I'm selling betting squares on how long before they fold. Who's in? [/size][/font][/color][/quote]
[color=rgb(50, 61, 79)][font=lucida grande][size=1.35em]We won't let that happen.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=rgb(50, 61, 79)][font=lucida grande][size=1.35em]We have some of the most experienced people in aviation on this site and it will onjly get bigger as time passes. [/size][/font][/color] :) :) :) :)

There is no way any site can please everyone and those of us who post a lot are bound to rub someone the wrong way.
Also if there is a real difference of opinion between posters it will eventually fade into history and anyone that really is interested in who to believe will figure out who to listen to.
One thing for sure that Colonel guy doesn't have a clue about flying compared to a lot of the experts with PPL's that frequent these forums. :) :) :)

Dude, I was just offering to be the bookie. You know, like in Shawshank redemption. You know, how long till the guy offs himself.
Recall, he turns into a good guy at the end.
No foul on you, Scud. You're trying something new.
Personally, I think the site is limited when their are a couple of superstars yakking at each other, but what do I know.
People are funny. They don't care much what you know when you come off like -- it's too bad. Lotta knowledge wasted, IMO.
Chuck, I'm sure you have a million cool stories flying in Africa. Instead of ranting about how every idiot pilot is out there, write some stories. Write a book! Seriously. I told you this before.
Start a whole section here, Chucks African adventures. Build the site that way , cool stories and people might learn too. Just my 0.02.

Re: Total time vs instrument time
I don't have a pup in this spat, but after flying for twenty-five years in the Maritimes, I'd say that ten percent of my fixed wing time was IMC...
When I was in "the milinary", we noted IMC time but when I started flying auto-pilot equipped aircraft, I stopped.
Even some of the rotary wing hours accumulated were technically IMC...
