WOW - Shots fired at skydiving plane in NY... by
Buff5200
I believe the "minigun" is the chopper door mounted version of the
electric gattling guns.
Arnold was hand holding one in "Predator" and "Terminator II".

Some of us have email addresses in public websites, so we are unavoidably plagued by spam. It's even worse at my "day job", where I get spam every 10 minutes or less, easily a hundred a day.

Old Forge, NY by
Ron Rosenfeld
Years ago, I landed on a grass strip near Old Forge, NY. I have occasion
to go there again. Although I see a landing strip near there on my Delorme
Topo program, I do not see anything on FlightStar or in the AOPA airport
directory.
Does anyone know what happened to that airfield?
Thanks.

Electronic Pilots Log? by
Ian Leslie
Hi All,
Is there some software that will record your piolts log elcetronically, Free
or shareware. Ideally it will compute leg lenghts (as crow flies from ICAO
airport codes)
If anyone can tell me it would be a great help.
Yours hopefully,
