How's the flying weather for your pool party looking? Noon on Saturday. All directions? Reason I ask is, I was just over at Golden Wings Museum this morning to pick up any extra cargo they need hauled over to OSH. They have things set out on folding tables for each plane. The gang had just gone...

We had half a dozen pilots show up today, expecting a party at the inn. For those who haven't been paying attention, the pool party is TOMORROW (Saturday) night... We ended up all going down to our corner tavern, and partying at the pool anyway -- but geez, we can't keep this up...

Spent a few hours repairing a roof at the shore. Watching the banner towers go by. One of them was a Maule - unusual for this area. There was even a helicopter towing one, and the banner looked too big for the usual aircraft. Wish that sort of thing paid more. George Patterson Why do men's hearts...

KIYK, Inyokern, California Geophysics Operations Section China Lake(521410D) Persistent heat over the desert southwest will continue to prevail over our region into Thursday as a strong and broad upper level ridge centered over southern Nevada remains nearly stationary. Light to...

Go to: www.kvbc.com and whatch the video on a twin comander crash at N Las Vegas VGT. That is wild stuff there.

On p. 6 it says: "Airport acceptance rate after noon is reduced to on-airport activity." Shouldn't that say "...reduced *due* to on-airport activity?" As written, it almost sounds like they're saying the airport is closed to arrivals after noon. --

I'm reading Robert Buck's book "North Star Over My Shoulder". I started it because I've used his advice from "Weather Flying". Well I got to page 43 and he descibes his early lessons as doing stunting, where you pull the nose up and then do a tailspin. A "tailspin?" From a pilot that flew 747s?...

It appears as I would have to cross the warm front to get from Ohio to Iowa Saturday, so I don't think the party is going to happen for me. On the positive side, the weather will move off to the east of Wisconsin by Sunday morning and the party participants will have excellent tailwinds to the big...

OSHKOSH CHECKLIST -- 2005 1. Tiedowns 2.. Handouts/viewgraphs for the Thursday forum.

I think we could coexist with Vette on 123.3 with handhelds on the field during Oshkosh, but I just did a fairly detailed search for 123.5 and found no takers within twenty miles. THEREFORE, let's make that rah/rap on field coordination frequency 123.5 and don't give your kids the transceiver to...

I guess Senator Schumer has so much free time that he is personally handling noise complaints ! Every day of the year I hear the train blow it's whistle and I hear the noise of the engine when it goes past my neighborhood.. What do you think should I give him a call and have him come to my house...

As luck would have it, I tore the right paddle from its mount on my Serengeti glasses while loading the airplane for departure. Not a chance I can get them fixed by tomorrow morning, but when I get back does anybody know of a good place to get repair parts for Serengetis? Jim

New at Oshkosh-- FREE samples of polish. Just ask for RON

Hi all, Here is a nice piece of software you might need/enjoy. You need a decent computer/graphics card, and a high speed internet connection. If you've got that then go to www.earth.google.com, download and install it. It is too cool. You can start from space and zoom in interactively to...

In the June AOPA Pilot "State of General Aviation" issue, Bruce Landsberg gives a gold star to Cessna, for their new production singles, which, according to the article, have not suffered a single fuel mismanagement accident. Well, I know of one near-miss, which could have broken that record, and...

I will be camping at Oshkosh for all six nights with my non-aviation father and my 5-year-old son. We'll be taking one day off to go tour the nearby Clydesdale farm (reservations required) and whatever other things strike our collective fancy. Does Airventure have a varying "character" as the...

Pilots heading to OSH can monitor 120.0 for SUA activity reports for Volk East/West MOA and the restricted areas associated with them. F16's are currently (14:00Z Friday) tearing up the sky and making all kinds of fun noise overhead. Jim Burns
