Departing Shreveport 1 hour after end of game
Plane is a Cessna 182 w/ comfortable leather seating - head sets available for all passengers.
I have about 450 hours & an instrument rating.
Co-pilot has a little under 100 hours
Drinks and food for flight provided


email @ jcag98@yahoo.com if interested and I will provide more detail

I can try to get off work!

That is great, you doing any others?

Will you do a 4G negative-dive over Shreveport?

I fly to all the home games - this will be my 4th year in a row to fly to all of them out of Sugar Land. Most of the time I have two seats open in the back. If you come with me to a home game I only charge $50.00 bucks a person (but you need your own ticket).

Isaac - no worries he isn't coming anywhere near us.

That's cool as could be.

This is killer...

<-- copilot

will be a great time! Hopefully someone can fill in the cancellations!

'07 days left will game day, whoop!

~1.5 hour flight vs 5 hour drive each way, btw

Very cool. Have an Ag cousin in Sugar Land that I'll pass this info on to.

Email sent if a ticket is still available!

That sounds awesome

YellAg is in - one more spot available.

Email sent for the other spot! 08

I can't go (and it's full anyway!) but I just want to add that this is quite allsome

^^

Are you going to Alabama? Have not bought my airline tickets yet but have my two game tickets?

I'd be very interested in some of the other away games as well. Please post if you have openings for future games

Dangit if I still lived in Houston I would have been all over this. You guys that are going are in for an awesome time flying with James.

Crop duster by day, charter plane by night....interesting???

This is from way back in the day on the show Wings, but I've always loved it.

Helen: I don't date pilots because all Pilots are cocky.

Joe: Well, can YOU fly a plane?

Request for follow-up thread with pics of said trip....!!

Keep good records. $10,000 fine for each leg of any flight flown Part 91 that FAA believes should have been flown Part 135...meaning $20,000 fine for roundtrip. Not an attorney and not providing legal advice. However, others have suggested the following:

1. Account for charges clearly and carefully.

2. Separate charge for flight from ground transportation and tickets.

3. Combined charges for flight portion cannot exceed two times the cost of fuel plus oil consumed.

4. Make sure passengers are informed before the flight that they are flying Part 91 and that they are only paying $X for the flight and $Y for the other. Last thing you want is them telling the FAA they understood something different from what you are doing.

5. When broadcasting a Part 91 flight on an internet service board...try to use the words "shared costs" and try to include the terms "Part 91."

Note: This is important for a number of reasons as far as FAA enforcement goes. A. You are broadcasting on a well-read internet board versus just talking to a few friends....much better chance of someone from FAA, or more likely, a charter operator seeing this and getting pissed enough to have the FAA investigate. B. If there is the slightest incident (not related to charging for the flight) that the FAA has to investigate (piss off a tower etc) then they will find out in such a situation about charging for the flight.

To be clear: It is legal to share the costs of the flight with friends and strangers; you just have to be careful you are within the limits of what can be legally charged or how you advertise "hold out" for the flight. So just account clearly and make sure passengers are informed of exactly what you are doing.

Again, not an attorney and not providing legal advise here...always recommend you consult an attorney for legal advise. Have fun, safe travels and BTHO Tech.

Wow - Harley Spoon put a damper on this thread

Please buzz the tower

You know...as an attorney, I can tell you that just saying you aren't giving legal advice doesn't really mean you aren't, in fact, doing the same.
