"Yes, I do want a park at Meigs Field," Daley said. But there are questions about whether that's financially feasible. CBS 2 poured through thousands of pages of city and state documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. They detail the history of pollution at the site. We showed...

The list of the "Ten Most Dangerous Cities in America" was released today. Listed as the most dangerous cities a Camden, New Jersey; Detroit, Michigan; St. Louis, Missouri; Flint, Michigan; Richmond, Virginia; Baltimore, Maryland; Atlanta, Georgia; New Orleans, Louisiana; Gary, Indiana;...

Some think so. The Cirrus is arguably marketed to the lowest time pilots, those less likely to have an instrument rating. Unlike a Cessna 172, a Cirrus is fast enough to actually be used to go places quickly. That combintation (good travel plane, designed for low time pilots) may make it more...

No. I think there are one or two others. I think improved training has addressed most of the issues of the issues associated with the rash of accidents shortly after the Cirrus was introduced. The Cirrus is a good plane. It had some problems during the early years, but all of them have been...

wrote in message Just an uneducated guess here, but based on other Cirrus accident profiles this might be another VFR into IMC upset. This is much more common with Cirruses? m

Just an uneducated guess here, but based on other Cirrus accident profiles this might be another VFR into IMC upset. A quick check of the database shows the pilot was a PPL with no IFR cert. If the chute had been deployed in flight I suspect there should have been survivors even if the plane was...

Mary had this brainstorm the other day; I present it here for your opinion... Every Harley dealer in America seems to have their own custom-designed T-shirt. Usually it's got the Harley-Davidson logo, combined with the local dealer's name, and some recognizable symbol. Our local Harley shop has...

I was reading some of the older posts of this group and was highly entertained by NW_Pilot's carburetor icing thread. My guess is that all of the high time pilots have at least one "big scare story" they might share... How about it, what was your scariest moment? Dallas

We had 'light pillars' last night all around the Twin Cities. VERY-VERY-COOL!! http://wcco.com/slideshows/local_slideshow_337220001/view?slide=1 http://wcco.com/slideshows/local_slideshow_337220001/view?slide=5 If you've never seen them, they are like a ground based localized version of the...

Has anyone tried using a cell/music adapter for this headset? I called about upgrading to the new set they are offering, but it is $50 and I lose my PTT switch to boot. The headset is listed as mono, so does that mean that an adapter for stereo music wouldn't work? Thanks for the help.

Is that EAA DVD of OSH 2005 any good? I don't like the 30+ bucks, but what the heck. Same price + shipping as 16R. My gal had a good thought. She said we'll get onesixright for us, but we should get the Oshkosh DVD for friends and family (6 copies) - since I was actually at Oshkosh and have never...

I am in the process of planning a flight from Plymouth, MA PYM to Front Range Airport in CO, starting 12/21/2005 in an Arrow. (Yes Jay I am planning to stop in Iowa City to see you.). Does anyone know of a long range planning weather source? Thanks Bill Snow CP, IA, ASEL

Hi, being a private pilot since 2003 I always wanted to use gps for flying. I learned flying in san diego in between of all these class bravo and the mexico border. So before my solo x-country a got a e-trex which was all right for the purpose. But after typing a set of waypoints into the e-trex...

I wonder if anyone can answer a few questions I have regarding PMAed parts? Suppose I have a part I wish to install on a certified aircraft. Are the following statements true or false? 1/ If the part is PMAed and the airplane is in the eligibility list, and the PMA was obtained by virtue of the...

I experienced a bit of unneeded excitement today while preparing to fly home that I thought would be of interest here. A 2,500 foot November grey ceiling hung over the uncontrolled western NY airport as I unloaded my luggage from the rental vehicle parked next to my aircraft on the ramp. Suddenly...

Imagine my surprise when I learned today that Embraer, the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer, built a licensed version of the Piper Cherokee Pathfinder, just like ours, until 1979! See pix he http://makeashorterlink.com/?Q64323A4C The original link is:
