I'll be heading to NJ next month, and I'll be right in the middle of Morristown (MMU), Caldwell (CDW), and Lincoln Park (N07). Where is the best place to park my Cherokee 140 for a few hours on a Saturday. I won't *need* fuel, but I'll take some if it helps out. I'm leaning towards Lincoln...

Just got back form a B-17 ride at the Lone Star Flight Museum in Galveston. It was a Christmas present from my thoughtful wife, Susan. I'd mentioned that they were selling rides to the public a few months back, and she arranged one for me as a surprise. For a lifelong fan of WWII aviation, it...

I recently had a chance to try a Dynaero MCR01. It looked tiny but I was able to fit in (I'm over 6' 2") OK. It climbed out at 1500'/min and had an airspeed ~140k in level flight. It felt so strange compared to the C's I've flown. The stiffness of the wings/air frame was very apparent as was the...

I took some pictures of some ice accumulation on the wings if a Crj-200. Its a good example of how well the wing anti-icing works on the Crj-200. After seeing how much ice was picked up, I was surprised that there was no icing in the tail at all. Go to http://www.southernflying.com to see the...
