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...

GA flying in Southhampton, UK? by xyzzy
I will be in Southhampton on business in June with a couple of free days, one thing I like to do when that happens is rent a plane and instructor at a local FBO for sightseeing flight. I've been able to find those types of resources easily in the U.S. with airnav.com. Is there a similar resoruce...

Life isn't fair by xyzzy
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.

Bureaucrat double-talk of the day by xyzzy
"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." (from: http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/2350628p-8728507c.html)

Best sunglasses for flying? by xyzzy

So I have a signficant surplus in my healthcare flexible spending account that I must spend by the end...
