Alright, it took me a week to finally get through my pictures and video, but they're now available online. Hopefully they're worth looking at. Video includes taxi out, take off, launch, and landing. They're 640x480, with DivX/Mp3 compression. Images vary. Lots of nice morning...

It's college tour time for my step-daughter. Is KPIT the best airport to land at for University of Pittsburgh? -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ The thing I've noticed, particularly about Usenet, that while as a welcome break from work it is refreshing and...

There was an interesting article in the Washington Post Outlook today. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6933-2004Jun25.html. You need to register these days though :(. -ash Cthulhu for President! Why vote for a lesser evil?

I was just dropping someone a line on Palm programs. There are a couple of nice programs for Palm OS that allow you to program aviation formulas. I have recently gone back to using a Palm OS (Sony Clie T27) organizer rather than a Pocket PC. Being less expensive and smaller, I am more likely to...

The clunky old Cirrus Software for use with DUATS is being replaced with a new program that looks like a terrific improvement. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it's got to be better than Cirrus. Here's the information to obtain a free copy: CSC DUATS Golden Eagle...

There used to be a disclaimer in aviationweather.gov that it was not an approved source. But I can't find that disclaimer anymore. Has AWC become an approved source? I recall an AC that was issued some time ago that authorized certain internet based weather to be considered official.

It is not well known, that all kinds of pilots can get aero-domains. If they have an own website or send a document, they can get a domain name at .aero and at the official subdomains pilot.aero, which has been established by SITA. In the future, everybody, who is interested, in flying,...

Be careful removing your new plastic certificate from the sheet it's glued to. My new one left part of Wilbur's face on the paper. He looks like he has a monolith coming out of his nose... -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/

I am wondering where I can find fatal crash statistics for small light single or double prop engine aircraft vs. Helicopter crash statistics? Eg. Cessna Skyplane vs. Bell 206 Jetranger/Robinson Perhaps comparing number of deaths per year to total hours flown, or number of flights. I'd like to...

Today shooting ILS approaches at McMinnville, with the blinder on, I had a close encounter. There was a lot of chatter and people stepping on each other, but I heard one aircraft rumbling calling out over McMinnville looking for the traffic on approach (me). Didn't catch his call numbers. A few...

In a few weeks my kids and I are going to fly to Colorado and rent a car for a week of camping. We're going to meet my brother and his kids in Rocky Mountain National Park and then drive around with him in separate cars. I fly a Cessna 170 and am interested in economy. Any suggestions where to...

I'm unable to find the regulation I was told about where passengers may *not* consume alcohol in an airplane flying under part 91. Can someone help?

Hello, I am thinking of buying myself a good ANR headset. Does anyone have any experience with Lightspeed headsets? The one I have in mind and really like is Lightspeed 15XL-C. Is anyone happy with them (Lightspeed in general)? Or should I look at another brand (I am looking for something under...
