I had a 2023 Chevy Bolt as an Uber last week in a northern location still getting snow...15min ride but I was quite impressed with the car. Comfortable, nicely furnished for a non-luxury car, LOTS of legroom in the back seat, and while smooth I honestly didn't notice a ton of difference in road...
Any PA28 is a piece of cake to fly, stalls like a dream, and is rather difficult to get into a spin.
GREAT trainers and cross-country platforms.
Cessnas are more 'fun' and more forgiving for teaching landings, but not as stable for XC and less forgiving of an uncentered slip ball.
TSC is 5 minutes from my house, Rural King 20 minutes.
TSC gets 99% of my business, cuz it mostly has what I need, although RK has a LOT more stuff (as it should, its a much larger store)
Orscheln is another good option, but its 30+ minutes away.
A Form 1'd Title II SBR can be converted back to a Title I non-SBR by sending a letter to the ATF.

Title II NFA items can be transferred to an heir...
I don't like redefining historical definitions to fit a new politically-desired outcome, like "machine gun" and "rifle" have been recently.
That said,
Given the explicit language of the (proposed) Final Rule and FAQ, if one already owned Title II items and also owned firearms with a stabilizing...
Every year, after the holidays, there are ground delay programs to airports in Florida & the islands due to traffic.
In this case, there was a ground stop issued due to volume. Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center handles all the traffic in/out of FL and there's only so much airspace...
A major winter storm impacting fully 1/3 of the nation two days before Christmas will disrupt travel. Southwest got double-whammy'd because DEN got smacked on Wednesday which biggly disrupted Southwest's network, then the next day it moved to Chicago which made a bad situation worse.
Timing...
Kentucky Utilities/LG&E were doing rolling 30min blackouts yesterday...my parents in Lexington were spared.
I volunteer for a micro-reactor in my back yard.
I've taken two deer with .224 centerfires - one headshot at 65ish yards with an 80gr Amax at 2900fps+ muzzle velocity from a 223AI, terminal performance was "impressive". The other was a neck shot at a similar range with a 77gr Nosler Custom Competition at 2650fps+ muzzle velocity from an 18"...
So sorry to disappoint you...
I have a number of episodes, and I'm quite familiar with a couple featured accidents.
I'm not saying it is a "bad" show, it has surprisingly specific details at times and sometimes features very knowledgable SMEs.
What I'm saying is it is a dramatic reenactment...
The regional airline "pilot shortage" came about in part due to the requirement for all 121 pilots to have an ATP certificate.
Even with the bonuses and substantial pay increases that fee-for-departure regional airlines are throwing around right now, an ATP or R-ATP is still required before...
That's a pretty big claim given the stuff that gets posted here on a daily basis...but okay.
You sure seem awfully defensive of Gryder for some reason. He's a retired airline captain, I'm an active airline captain. He's entitled to his OPINIONS and so am I, including my opinions of his...
