AV80R in TN - July 1-15 2019

[AV80R]

Thanks Allen, that’s the plan. My stepdad said the 50 question IA test was the best bang for the buck in aviation.

Arash... Cake Walk for you We've never seen anything you can't handle and you've got all that time and experience around those aluminum birds... plus you got all of US sending those positive thoughts and prayers you can't go any way be UP

July is HOT weather be sure to bring summer stuff... July and August in the south are usually the hottest months of the year so you've been warned!

Nashville is a really cool town and lots to do... you may not want to go home after a taste of Nashville, the south and all us cool southern boys... if you don't believe me just ask Perko

Hopefully I can make one of your free days... would love to meet The President of The ZRXOA

Don't think it's needed but wish you all the best on your training

Arash goes to Tennessee. Nails all the test questions. Does an annual on a DC-3 while spotting and fixing many other squawks so impressing the IA he's speechless and has no choice but to bless Arash with his A&P and a gushing glowing letter of recommendation!

Yes indeed, can tell how many times I was able to freelance for extra $$, when you are employed by a large FBO/MRO, like I was,
just having the cert. puts money in your pocket

Pick him up? Hell, we're staying at his house.

I should be able to make some time. If possible try to meet Tac at a grocery store, it's his best arena to show his skills.

Make it Puckets Grocery in Franklin, TN

Arash, if you don't pass this... no one does. You got it easy peasy

Now, is this a call for a rally? Because I'm actually considering riding there from DC... Would love to meet the Prezs...

[AV80R]

Thanks Sebastian.

I’m down to meet ya if you cruise over!

There are some great roads near my house

I'd be in for the 7th if there's a convoy headed to Tennessee.

Right on Justin

It’s weird to me that interstate travel is possible for you guys. It takes a whole day to get out of CA so a road trip to any other state is a big deal.

[AV80R]

It’s 100% official now, I have my 8610-2 forms signed by the FAA and I have the all clear to go attempt the tests at the Baker school.

I went to my local FAA Flight Safety District Office this morning and they reviewed my paperwork, logs, and interviewed me. I didn’t even have to try and within minutes he was giving me pointers on what to expect at the Baker school. The FAA inspector I met with has only been at this CA office for 18 months but spent 25 years at the local office in TN next to the Baker school. What are the chances of that?! It’ll be fun to see if any of the examiners who will see his signature on my paperwork recognize him.

He came to CA to bump up his salary right before he retires this September. He plans on going right back to TN once he says goodbye tension, hello pension. He gets a $37k bump in salary for the move from TN to CA, and his retirement goes up $22k annually and he gets to retire 3 years sooner too. He’s earned it

So all that’s left for me to do is everything. Time to bust my butt in TN and see if I can come home with a new rating.

[Dirty Howie]

The question is...will Ca tax his retirement even though he's in Tn? I hear some communist states do that.

Well there are. Not as good as the mountains, but plenty of fun roads between Franklin and Fairview

[AV80R]

I’m really excited to finally meet you guys after all these years.

[Dirty Howie]

It looks like I'll possibly be in NC the first week or so in July. Haven't nailed down a time yet but if so I'd sure like to get in on this bromance date. We are near Ashville so it's not too long of a drive. I have a good friend in Knoxville so that's a good reason to drop in on him as well. Plus...the wife likes to lose money at the casino in Maggie Valley/Cherokee.

Wonderful Howard!

Sunday July 7th and 14th are the two days I’m not in class or taking tests.

[Dirty Howie]

It'd have to be the 7th then. I gotta be back in Fl for court on the 15th.. I'll let the wifey know.

If the ol lady was named Maggie then you could take her Perkie. Hell, she might like you better.

[AV80R]

Cool

This is gonna be fun.

[AV80R]

They recommend not studying, but I can’t help myself and I have the textbooks here.

The first book of four total is the General one. I’m going to just thumbs through scanning things.

[kenh]

My wife and son, IF all goes to plan, will be passing through Nashville on July 11th. Theywill have a short layover at the bus terminal on the way home.

[ManBearPig]

I’m just north of Nashville. Would definitely be up for a ride if it happens.
