I took a little bit of a break after creating the tools to generate normalized "chunks" from sectional images. http://aviationtoolbox.org/munge/mosaic Over the holidays I got back into it and tackled doing something useful with those chunks. I already revealed my map_image tool which generates an...

Wright replica fails to get off the ground One hundred years to the day after Orville and Wilbur Wright soared into history on man's first powered flight, modern-day aviators sought to duplicate the feat, with a little help from 21st-century technology and supercomputers. They flopped badly. at...

Somehow the FAA forgot to send me the last batch of sectional DVDs and by the time I finally called about it they didn't have any remaining. I was told to wait for the next batch. It's here. This batch doesn't become effective until December 25, 2003, but because the previous batch has expired,...

Australian politions have decided to upgrade our aviation security with things like ; - Air-marshals on (so far) some international flights. - Strengthening cockpit doors on all RPT aircraft. - Making airport owners responsible for extra ground security. - Having the spooks do background checks on...

I recently discovered a beuatiful little treasure in the form of a National Geographic from Sept 65, the majority of which is a huge article on the US Air Force at the time. The opening article was written by Gen LeMay who had just retired. It was SAC's glory days, there were 800,000 people in...

Why even bother to have windows in a commercial jet? A Boeing press release makes note of the larger than usual windowns for their new 7E7 jet. Late model jets are full of video screens at each seat. Why not use snythetic views of the outside? The view from a window is limited. With video, all...

Does anyone know of any airports reasonably close to hiking trails in the Northeast? I know of Black Moshannon State park near Mid state airport in Pennsylvania but was wondering about others. Trying to combine two of my interests. Thanks, Ken

Good morning, all...and some quick observations before I hit the sheets for a long winter's snooze...having arrived home an hour ago from two weeks of across-the-country driving: 1. 7000 miles autodriving ain't one TENTH as much fun as flying. 2. 7000 miles autodriving is TEN times as much more...

From Today's NY Times: D’Amato’s Role Investigated in La Guardia Airport Deal December 24, 2003 By ERIC LIPTON

....from my instrument instructor. This happened when they were filming The Hunted along the Willamette River in Portland (been through the set, haven't seen the movie.) At a nearby airfield--Scapoose, I believe--a guy with a fabric-and-wood plane was receiving fuel and the attendant asked him...

I've posted lots of messages about how much my wife and I appreciate our Bose headsets, followed by several about how my wife's headset became unusable after an upgrade (and a couple of attempts to fix it). Now I get to go back to praising Bose. I just got off the phone with Joe Tesini of Bose...
