Hello, I'm interested in hearing from people who have 'real' first-hand knowledge of the true costs of owning an older (early 50s) V-tail Bonanza. I've heard all the horror stories about the outrageous costs; but the thing is that I heard the same stories before I bought my *last* plane (a 1963...

Has anyone compiled figures on how many sports pilots there are? I thought if might be interesting to see how well it's caught on. AJ

Is there an expression out there for determining the distance around the globe, at let's say the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricorn? I know that the radius of the earth is 6371 - is there perhaps an expression which relates the circle distance at the tropic of cancer/capricorn to the...
