Google maps, frappr, or IE bugs? by
xyzzy
When I click on Steve Zecker's name in the list, it shows me about 10
other place markers in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Argentina.
Clicking on any of them move the map to some correct pointers.
Then I clicked on Steve again and the extra markers were gone. WTF?
Anyone else seeing that? ...

LLC ownership of airplane -- another twist by
xyzzy
There was some discussion of this concept in the newsgroup before,
with the consensus seeming to be that an individual owners get no real
protection putting his personal airplane under corporate or LLC
ownership. And now it turns out he might lose some protection, because
LLC owners are not covered...

buy or rent a 2006 182 by

On May 28, 5:57 pm, john smith
I am not a part-owner in either of the two clubs of which I am a member.
I simply rent the aircraft. All of the aircraft are lease-backs in one
club and the club is incorporated and the corporation owns the other.
There are nine airplanes...

Spectacular severe clear weather, most of my co-workers have already
cleared out for the holidays, and I'm at work looking out the window at
the blue skies and limp flag in front of my building. Humbug.

Are asking prices really as unrealistic as they look by
xyzzy
Been scanning airplane ads for a while and just recently started looking
some of them up using AOPA's Vref service for members.
According to that, most of the airplanes I see advertised are way
overpriced, some by significant margins.
Are the AOPA Vref prices too low? Or do people have...

All this Barron Thomas stuff by
xyzzy
You do have to give it to Thomas for coming on here and debating this
stuff.
Of course in some ways he is blind to how he is perceived, as is
everyone probably. His response, which is basically, "if you haven't
bought from me you have no standing to evaluate me" shows that he does
not see the...

Does an overhaul un-lemon an engine? by
xyzzy
If an engine has been overhauled 3 times, never making TBO either time
(not even making it to 1/2 of TBO 2 of the times), should I be concerned
that it might be a lemon, or if the current overhaul was done right and
the engine has been treated right since then, should I not worry about
how it did...

Requiem for NW_PILOT by
xyzzy
He'll be back. He can't help himself.
I enjoyed his posts, though I think he has extremely poor judgement and
a short fuse I still enjoyed reading them and the responses they
generated.
He's gotta be gratified that one result of his "goodbye" post was to
start a ****storm on the newsgroup.

"We're not firing anybody," said Jones, a consultant whose firm, MD
Strum Housing Services in Indianapolis, was hired to clean up the
troubled agency. "This is a reduction in force that required some people
to lose their jobs."

Best sunglasses for flying? by

I miscalculated my health benefits. I expected to have to pay cash for
my medical and for some diagnostic tests that I needed to have to get
