We will get along just fine Rookie because we are both thick skinned.
As to writing stories I started writing short stories about fifteen years ago to pass time when I was overseas killing time between flights.
However since Penny died I have just not been able to get back in the groove writing wise.
Maybe someday I will get back at it.
For sure there were enough exciting close calls over the years to keep me busy for a long time.
By the way the most frightening flying I eer did was in the Sahara Desert during the Harmattan sand storms...they made the Arctic storms look like childs play....and I did a lot of flying in the Arctic in the DC3's I have over 5000 hours in the fuckin things.

You can get a ghostwriter to help you (not me) but they are out there.
We can't let this happen.

Actually all I do is write stories based on how it happened wording it like I am talking to someone.
Fuck I am almost illiterate I never went beyond grade eight...but at least that much education allows me to read and write. :)

They are easy to visualize. So there you go. Not everyone can do that.
Easy to see a book. Each story could be expanded and filled out into one chapter.
Back those stories up on a separate computer. Don't lose that hard work.

I have been looking for months on the other site, to find out where some of you folks went to. Eventually after asking like 5 times, someone pm'd me with a hint.
Glad to have found you all.
I really appreciate the knowledge , that gets shared freely on this site. It might attract a few more, if it was a tad less aggressive with,and a tad more tolerant of, the low timers.
Most of us dont really want to go to war with Transport, and dont have the pockets, or the time to. This site has to be careful it does not teach low timers that TC has "not a single shred of good advice?" There are a few nuggets in there, and when the low timers advance, they can figure out when to "Adhere" and when they can "do it their own way".
I really learned to" fly,", and my confidence soared, when I took some dual, after I had 300 hours of stooging around with my private. I think it makes good sense if you can find someone like the Colonel and spend 10 hours with him after you have a "start flying". It will make you much more confident, and he will make you will sweat. I found a couple of fellas like the Colonel to teach me after the 300 hour mark.It made a big difference.
I have a thick skin so let her rip.

Who gives a shit what anyone on Avcanada has to say? For a website that came into existence so people wouldn't have to deal with Avcanada there site seems to be a lot of chatter about what so and so on Avcanada said.
Let's do our own thing and leave them to do theirs.
[/quote]
Amen!
[/quote]
+3 as they are prone to write over there.
I don't mind over there. I just don't have the attention spans to study up and write a Canuckistinian CPL. So I like a place where we can have extra forums where we can talk about monkeys or Das Autos.
Although I do miss the chicken catcher emoji.

What makes this place so good for me is there is no restriction when one can call "bull shit" and a spade a fucking shovel. Sure the grey haired monsters live a little in the past sometimes, but that is life and it is sometimes distressing to have "been there, done that" only have a low time pilot throw it back in your face because he knows more. Aviation has also changed. The rose coloured glasses are custom fit to all new pilots now and they have a very idealogical slant on aviation. They are also the victims of their chosen school. They forget that schools are a business and that turning out pilots, with no mandate to turn out accomplished pilots, is all about the bottom line.
We all went through and continue to go through a learning curve for our entire careers and even afterward. I have been taken back to entry level because I choose to continue to work after I was told I was too old to fly the heavy metal. I can verify that commercial IFR pilots are graduating with a very small tool chest. The luxury of strapping an aircraft to your ass for fun and practical learning has all but disappeared for most. Automatics are slowing taking over at the expense of actual stick and rudder skills. This will only move on as the years go by. Aeroplanes will end up with 2 inch joy stick and a game controlled interface. Wonder when the aerobatic GPS unit and interface will show up for general consumption.
For young posters my advice, post and ask questions, the more the better, my only advice ----- don't try and bullshit the bullshitter, meaning, think before you type, good advice for anyone I guess >:D

The problem is that people don't know, what they don't know.
They think that because they have paper, which is the most
important thing, that they have a clue. Everyone up until that
point has told them how important paper is.
No, it isn't, really. Every low-time pilot I have ever met needs
to work on:
1) improving their stick & rudder skill
2) increasing their aircraft systems knowledge (failure points and behavior)
3) increasing their knowledge of the weather and how to predict it
for starters. Do they? No. It's especially
depressing when dildo-heads like this:

state that the above is unimportant in today's
automated cockpit.
Sigh.

Every accident in 2017 will be a tragic repeat of many
previous accidents which have happened in the past,
which today's arrogant young pilots are determined
to ignore the lessons of.
Too bad that FTU's are intent on not teaching pilots
what they need to know, to stay alive.
