re: Earnhardt Senior Passing...Do You Still Remember? What were you doing at the time?
Posted by Furbs311 on 3/27/24 at 9:02 pm
I was at a church youth retreat. Two of the leaders came up that evening and sang “knocking on heavens door” in Sr’s honor.
Grew up near Rockingham and going to the races pretty often. Rockingham was the next week and they were letting fans sign his merch trailer. Wonder what they ever did with ...

The crew would have known they were low and declared an emergency much earlier and gotten priority to Naples or another airport. Haven’t heard any reports they signaled distress until just before the ...

Looks like it was potentially a charter flight from a Ft Lauderdale based company.

re: How many OT'ers have flown on a private jet, and what kind was it (if you know)?
Posted by Furbs311 on 9/15/23 at 7:16 am
I work in the industry and have spent a lot of time in many different jets. Flew on a G700 round trip across the country. Amazing airplane - still finishing FAA certification and projected to deliver this year.

What’s the overtime rules these days?
I use to go to lots of Hurricanes games growing up before there were shootouts and saw a lot of tie games. Went to a minor league game a few months ago - after regulation they went to a 7:00 3-3 sudden death period, then a shootout. It was a lot of fun to wa...

I grew up in Southern Pines. Local conspiracy theory is it’s related to a drag show that was widely protested last night. That’ll make for some interesting local drama if it turns out to be true.

re: Strong field for the CJ Cup
Posted by Furbs311 on 10/21/22 at 8:40 pm
It’s actually very walkable and a great place to watch golf. But it’s in the middle of nooooowhere. The town I live in is the closest “real town” with hotels, restaurants etc, and we are every bit of 45-50 min away. Savannah is over an hour. Just tough to get people out there, even with a strong fie...

I live about 45 min from Congaree, closer to Hilton Head. It’s an extremely exclusive club (no members, just “ambassadors” that get invited) but I walked it a few times following a family friend that qualified for the Palmetto Championship last year. It can definitely play fast and long, great cours...

Frozen elevator in a King Air coming back from TEB late one night. Plane sat on the ramp in the rain for several hours before departure, and water froze the control cables at altitude, though we didn’t realize it until we went to start our decent. Thankfully we were able to start a slow decent using...

I work for an aircraft OEM. We regularly do long haul flights taking off and landing at the same place.. it’s fun to “test out” a brand new jet with only 5 hours on it, but landing at the same place you took off from 10+ hours earlier is a hard pill to swallow when you think of all the fun places yo...
