But unfortunately it's not in a good way. Apparently, we're #1 in identity theft... Two major contributing factors cited: 1) An elderly population who are not hip to the world of electronic commerce. 2) A very high number of methamphetamine related crimes. Seems users and

Had a flight last week to MVY. Ran into Meg Ryan at the FBO. Nice lady. Very beautiful and thin! CAVU both ways. A very worthwhile trip. WLS

With the throttle at idle, and plane trimmed for best glide, what is your plane's descent rate (in fpm)? I tried this with my Cherokee 180 and found the resulting descent to be somewhere between 900 and 1000fpm. (This was measured on the VSI, not via altimeter plus stopwatch, so it is prone to...

I might have to attend a business meeting in June in Miami, Florida, and am looking at flying my Bonanza from NY State to Miami. Any recommendations for a preferred airport and FBO? Judging by the comments on Airnav, it appears that Kendall-Tamiami (KTMB) seems to be the most friendly to a...

I don't remember seeing anything about this here. Interesting story: http://www.x-plane.com/adventures/tfr.html Austin also has his Cirrus for sale as well: http://www.aso.com/aircraft/97947/ I hope it's not because of the TFR violation. Maybe he's upgrading? Marco

I see that two LSA aircrafts that had already been certified, crashed on their way to SnF, when their engines failed on takeoff. Pilots are badly injured, but alive, thank goodness. At least the slow speed, low energy philosophy of the LSA seems to be allowing people to survive bad incidents. Am...

Yesterday I went flying down the lakeshore. Given my direction of travel, to see the interesting stuff I had to sit on the *right*. So after takeoff I just slid over and flew on the right. I all my hundreds of hours of flying I've never flown from that seat. It was a very weird experience. I...

No more hub-and-spoke route structure? BOEING CO. and its shareholders are counting on the success of the 787 Dreamliner, the company's first new commercial airplane in a decade, to fuel growth at rival Airbus' expense after several recent stumbles, The New York Times said on Sunday. "If it...
