Don't know if there are many NASCAR fans here, but one of the teams planes crashed today. Right now there seems to be some conflict of the names of the passengers, but here is one of the news stories.

Since there has been so much discussion about airspace restrictions here, let me say that McClellan's "Left Seat" column in "Flying" magazine this month is a must read. (I know opinions about "Flying" will be all over the map in this kind of group so please spare us general pot shots.) -- Roger...

Today I was trying to think where I put the fuel slip from my weekend at KBAF, when I realized that I'd managed to leave without paying. All the nice people at the FBO had wished me a good flight and nobody mentioned the gas, so I guess it wasn't all my fault. Still, I guess I should put that...

I like oakley half jackets, they give you a nice clear view, much better than lower priced brands. But be ready to shell out $100 at least for them. "Royce Brown" wrote in message ... Anyone know a good...

I was updating my book at www.cockpitgps.com and thought that I would seek some help from anybody out there with an Lowrance AirMap 500, 1000, 2000. There is a program called GPSout which is freeware at http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html that allows the computer running Microsoft Flight...
