"Last Samurai" and Bradley's book "Flyboys" by
Maule Driver
I was recently dragged out to see the "Last Samurai". Can't
really recommend it except as escapist, fantasy violence...and Tom for the stargazers. But I can recommend a related book, James Bradley's "Flyboys, a true story of courage".
Related? The book starts with a sweeping historical look...

getting FAA paperwork by
Cub Driver
Would a few of you do me a favor? Test this url:
http://tinyurl.com/ywsm
and tell me if it takes you to the FAA page for purchasing records of
an airplane?
(It works for me, but I wonder if that's because the FAA has put a
cookie on my computer.)

Sam Lyons print by
Jim
I believe it was Sam Lyons that created the print on the cover of Rod
Machado's Privat Pilot handbook. Does anybody know if that print is/was
available for sale? It's not on Sam's site nor was it in his booth at OSH.
I failed to ask him about it at the time.

"Tanks on both" checklist item by
Koopas Ly
Good day all,
With regards to fuel tanks in a C172, why does the takeoff and landing
checklists both call for the fuel selector handle to be in the "both
tanks" position?
The only time that fuel is set to one particular tank is on the
ground. I've never used fuel from only one tank in flight. ...

Is a BFR instruction? by
Roger Long
If a CFI owns and airplane and gives primary or instrument instruction in
it, it has to be on a 100 hour inspection cycle since he is providing the
aircraft for instruction.
How about if he only uses it to give BFR's? Does that put it under the 100
inspection requirement?
