in Baraboo, WI for a mid afternoon buffet at the Ho-Chunk Indian Casino.
Baraboo is technically on the south end of Wisconsin Dells as indicated by
airport and VOR identifiers KDLL / DLL.
The casino is only a mile up the...

an air show some where in or around Minneapolis, Minnesota. I know we

100LL Quality by
vlado
Since 100LL has been made available, has the quality or formulation
changed? Watching automotive fuels at the pump, car gas has changed
with various additives, ethanol, etc. But what about 100LL? Has 100LL
chemistry remained the same since its initial introduction?
Thx.

Programming $10 Event Radio by
Paul Dow (Remove Caps in mail address)
I bought one of those $10 Event Radios at the Flying tent at OSH last
month. They said they can be reprogrammed if you bring it back to them
when they are at another event. (www.eventradio.com )
Naturally, the simple design has gotten me curious. I was wondering if
it could be used to pick up...

Kitplanes Articles -- Volunteer? by
RST Engineering
I have about three or four years of my monthly Kitplanes columns that have
not been posted on my website for you all to use. I used to post them every
month, but with dialup it was taking me (literally) hours to cut, paste,
upload, resume ... for each article. I also had a wonderful volunteer...

I've been following this saga for the last few years, and had recently
been wondering whatever happened to the guys that were supposedly
building "new" World War II-era ME-262 jet fighters.
From the looks of that awesome...

This evening I flew from Buffalo, NY, down to Cleveland, over to

Jackson Hole TFR by

Planning a trip to Jackson Hole next week, but of course the AOPA web
site lists a potential TFR for Jackson Hole airport from August
17th-Sept. 1st.
Is the JAC (jackson Hole) airport CLOSED during the TFR to GA or what
is the deal?

TSA training requirements for CFIs by

I've looked at government documents about the TSA recurrent

I need as an independent CFI to show that I've followed
whatever rules there are?
I've taken an online quiz where every other answer is to ask
my non-existent supervisor. I...

Power Lines.. by

I've seen power lines marked on sectionals. How high are the highest
major power transmission lines? They look quite high from the ground,
but there's not much to give perspective.

Who needs terrorists when we have Dell? by

So, Dell has exploding laptops. Reminds me of the old days in Hollywood
when every computer in a Universal picture eventually exploded. Geeks
smirkingly called them the Explodatron 2000. Now instead of the
Explodatron 2000 we have Dell! Four million laptops apparently just a
time bomb (literally)...

Garmin 496 loss of satellite reception--Garmin's answer by
Dan Luke
Garmin advises that the GA25 remote amplified antenna design is known to have
a noise reception/rejection problem.
They are sending me a GA26 at no charge.
Garmin should be recalling all GA25s, IMO, not sitting there waiting for
owners to complain.
