It's been probably 15 years since I seen the original "Look Who's Talking" but I remember Kristi Alley (back when she could fit in the weight and balance envelope) and Travolta flying in (if my memory is correct) a small 4 seat jet that Travolta was piloting. What kind of plane was...

Greetings, I looking at a Lancair ES kit plane. I know the plane is high performance (210 or 310 hp engines) but is it also complex? The plane has fixed landing gear, standard or slotted flaps and a constant speed prop.. The real question boils down to this, does a plane have to have all three...

Anyone done it? Is it true that it can be just a weekend thing? It's on my list of "something I always want to try", but I'm having trouble finding anywhere to do it.

Can anyone tell me anything about this crash?: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/Videos/Puma_Crash.wmv A contributor sent it in for inclusion on our aviation video page, but he knew nothing about the location or circumstances of the accident. If you're interested, the whole page may be...

Howdy folks, I was browsing the web and came upon this odd photograph of the Piper Cub strung on wires above the ground. Apparently it was used to launch aircraft and catch them without landing/takeoff. Here's the pictu http://www.ww2incolor.com/gallery/us_navy/pipercub_brodie Anyone seen that...

Hi group, About three years ago I had the second most beautiful monent in my life, buying my first airplane. Last weekend it was time for the most beautiful moment in my life, I've sold the same plane for good money. I never bought it to keep it for very long, just to learn to fly after I got my...

I've been doing a little research off and on for the past few months, but can't seem to find anyone who is actually involved. So - what's the story? Is it a good organization to get involved in?

Life is full of little transitions and milestones. Back in 1995, when I got my ticket, I privately vowed that I would fly 1000 hours in the next ten years. At the time, this seemed wildly optimistic. I had a house, two little kids underfoot, a wife who had just gone to working part-time in order...

Hi All! OK, since the collective talent in this group greatly exceeds mine and those around me... :) Today the engine in our 151 (O 320-150hp)Warrior stumbled during power reduction, and we were able to repeat the symptom..... Here are details

Looks like perfect conditions for a flight along the Front Range west of Denver today. Not! Here's Jeffco's Metar: KBJC 051550Z 27055G66KT 10SM FEW030 SCT050 M01/M24 A2987 RMK BLDU ALQDS And look at this update:

I have heard it said that there are two types of tailwheel pilots: those that have ground looped and those that will. A week ago, I graduated from the latter category into the former category.
