SDN's ROUTER NEEDS WORK

Members don't see this ad.

My NASA approved Dell with 250 gig hard drive and 1.5 gig ram which brings up every other internet page on earth within .00001 seconds takes a while to load sdn, takes too much time browsing between sdn pages, etc etc....anybody else experiencing this, or should I call a NASA engineer?

Seriously, sdn needs to troubleshoot their router or something.

Agreed, yet still one of my favorite websites.

Yes. Thats my buddy Greg's Cheyenne I, fine twin engine turboprop with Pratt & Whitney PT6-As, pressurized cabin, 230 knots cruise up in the lower twenties which gets you outta the majority of weather, save thunderstorms. I still need help with all the systems management since its such a complex airplane but I'm pretty comfortable in the left seat now with the flight controls, take offs and landings. Still need assistance with power conrol of the big jet-props...at about 250K per engine Greg or Larry are watching the gauges like hawks when I'm making a power adjustment and intervene quickly if I'm about to cost them alotta money with a wrong move...


This picture was taken at Lakefront Airport in New Orleans after one of my better landings on runway 18... ! Still not as good as the big boys, namely Greg, a 4000 hour pilot, and my other buddy Larry, a 10,000 hour pilot. I'm homing in on 600 hours, with a little over 70 in the Cheyenne. As you can see, in the flying world I'm a whipper snapper compared to the studs, but alotta my time is in bigger airplanes, thanks to my rich friend and my other corporate pilot friend, both of whom have taken me under their wings (literally), allowing me the privelege of flying the Cheyenne, a King Air B-200 and C-90, and a Piper Navajo, while under their constant scrutiny.
Sometimes its worse than residency....

Larry: "BILL, WTF? THEY PUT THAT WHITE LINE ON THE TAXIWAY FOR A REASON! THIS ISNT A CESSNA!"

Me: "Sorry Larry."

.....

Larry: "BILL, WTF? YOU'RE THREE DEGREES OFF COURSE. I DONT KNOW WHERE THE HELL YOURE FLYING TO BUT I'M TRYING TO GET TO AUSTIN!"

Me: "Sorry Larry."

But its comments like....

"GEEZ, ARE WE REALLY ON THE GROUND? NICE LANDING!"

that make me yearn for more left seat time (and inevitably more scrutiny) in these beautiful birds that I've been given the privelege to fly. 👍

Nice gig.

Mil-

Way to go! Too bad for me that SDN doesn't give a referral bonus (hint hint). Maybe Stark Laws....?

I owe you thanks for the instructions on how to downsize a picture... 👍

A wheelie on the red crotch-rocket is what I'm looking for...

And moving the throttle quadrants through beta and into reverse thrust after you land the bird is better than sex....props reverse which gives the unmistakeable sound....

"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"...........

...as you are thrust forward in your seat against the seatbelt....

i'm gettin' emotional....i need a tissue....

YES! I hear ya' brotha! Here I was thinking I was the only guy who got emotional about things like this! You gotta love the initial whirr of the turbine spinning up on those PT6's too! 😍

You guys are making me jelous. I get some serious envy when I'm doing my pre flight on my almost 40yro rented put-put (C172) see those big beautifull machines spin up.

OHHH YEAH...brings tears to my eyes as well!

Heres a pic of my buddy Terry in his "office"...left seat driver of a Continental Airlines RJ.....

1.5 gig of ram.. thats it?

I am absolutely addicted to SDN, so you can imagine my frustration when half the time the pages dont load, particularly when I try to leave comments 😡

It definitely has gotten slower compared to the last time I came here.

 

[anesthesiaman]

I got my private a long time ago b/c i didn't want to study the MCAT all day long. flying was a perfect outlet. but i never got instrument rated b/c i knew i wouldn't be able to fly for long (expensive plus med school = impossible).

but MAN when I hear all this talk - it makes me want to jump into the old banged up, rented, 172. well not really, I think I would prefer a cirrus.

Anyone have any experience with these cirrus planes? I saw the demo in oshkosh back when it first came out.

 

[canjosh]

No first-hand experience with the Cirrus aircraft. However, I believe that the Lancair Columbia line of aircraft generally looks better on paper (performance-wise).

 

[Mike MacKinnon]

Same here

I also find that at times the pages dont load and time out. Seems to happen daily.
