No radar, no pod, no hts, no datalink, no wingmen, no enemies, no threats. Moves in slow motion.
Not cosmic. You can handle an extra lever for the prop and mixture.
I'm guessing a lot of commenters don't actually know what aggressors squadrons do, should do, and used to do. The red air aspect is only a small part of the overall job. Damn near anyone can fly red air to varying degrees of effectiveness. Aggressor squadrons are different for a reason.
Light twins are certainly different...but it's not rocket surgery. You won't be completely comfortable after 1-2 flights nor will you feel like you have mastered the airframe, but that is NOT required for the check.
Crazy Carl is disorganized, frustrating, and even insulting at times. But the results are worth putting up with his shenanigans.
I'd look elsewhere if he has raised his prices, but for the 3-3.5k I felt I got adequate flight time to crush the check ride. And the dpe was a touchdown to boot.
Read it again.
I'm not "earning enough interest to fund a car loan"
We both start with the same 15k lump of cash.
We both pay zero interest/financing fees.
I have interest income (that I'm happy to pay taxes on). You do not.
Yes, I'm paying more tax than you .... But I'm paying tax on income that you don't have. I'm still way ahead in the end.
It's definitely anti-ramsey. But it's not hard to understand.
You pay 15k cash for a vehicle on day zero.
I take out a 60 month, 0% loan.
I plop that same 15k cash in an interest bearing account and withdraw every month to make my loan payment.
In 5 years, we both have a paid in full, used vehicle. I have made money. You have not.
