Keep it up, guys. I'm an old,old pilot who lost his medical to senility, but I still live and breath flying. And you kinda keep me up on what's new. I could talk flying for hours, but I bore the hell out of others. So I'll just enjoy the conversations here, and add my long ago experiences when I...

Since when did http://www.100dollarhamburger.com/ start charging a year fee ?

Is it just me, or has whoever does "Wings To Adventure" set up their sound levels wrong? I normally have my volume set to around 20 - but when "Wings To Adventure" comes on I have to crank it up to around 35. That makes the narrator audible, but the commercials are painfully loud. -- Paul...

Just got our dog a new frisbee (he goes thru 'em pretty fast if we're careless and leave them within reach after a session). This one has a large outer wire rim, small inner ring, and stretched radially between these 8 or 10 tapered spandex wedges (i.e., these wedges get wider as they go radially...

Hello, I am interested in locating a reference of some kind to reference ICAO codes by their geographical coordinates (longitude and latitude). Although I will be using this to display weather data, I figured that there may be somebody in an aviation group that may know where I could find this...

Brutal F18 Landing On An Aircraft Carrier. I guess the Deck-Crew had only one thing in mind when the Aircraft was coming in, "RUN" : http://www.jumpingpixels.com/aircraft.html

Tomorrow (Friday) my two oldest boys, father, and I will be departing for a vacation to Denver, flying across the US from NY State in the Bonanza. Having been thoroughly manipulated G by all of Jay H's propaganda in this newsgroup over the last four years, I decided enough was enough and...

MU-2 crash at Fort Pierce,FL,25 June. Ferry flight to get a 100 hr inspection. Mike may have some good info? Big John

Is it possible to use cities as waypoints in flight plan and how? The only way I can make a city as a waypoint is by using panning function on the map - point to the city and then press "direct to" key. Or it is some kind of safety feature - not to alloud to use cities as waypoints?

Headline from an article on page W1 of today's WSJ... "Bring me a box of Target's finest Chardonnay!"

This plane has some serious gyroscopic forces, even while the engine is warming up at the chocks. Throttle control by the mags sounds interesting in the sense of the curse "May you live in interesting times." KD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtprTL66-FY

One of my colleague's daughters is training for CPL in India. I don't for the earth know why she mailed me of all persons to try and get answers to the following Qs. But heck, this seems to be like a chapter off a meteorology post-grad!! Since this is obviously just a snip of what she must be...

Thanks for the invite Jay! :) I'm pretty sure I can make it to the OSH rec North 40 party, but the ole Aztec will be in the annual shop during the pool party. Ok, how about menu considerations? So far we're planning grilled chicken breast, brats, potato salad, chips... any other ideas or...

The following news item has the FAA on the Los Angeles' sheriff's case about the sheriff's use of R/C planes. I've searched the FARs in the past to see if I could find what regs covered radio controlled (or more interestingly, autonomous) aircraft and came up with nothing. I think the Sheriff has a...

Is it possible for an aircraft to stall and sink nose-up tail-down instead of pitching nose-down? Or does aircraft design inherently preclude that? :) Thanks in advance, Ramapriya

Of course the AOPA disagrees and I completely understand the slippery slope but let's face it the little plane should have no problem flying under the TFR and the big planes should have no problem flying over or under it. Since it looks like we are going to have to deal with UAV in the future...
