Are there any pilots that live in the Los Angeles / Orange County area that post to this newsgroup?

http://www.alexisparkinn.com/fly-in_aviation_museums.htm Thanks to all who sent new additions and corrections. I'm sorry I wasn't able to respond to everyone personally, but every time I ask for input like this I get swamped. (This is a good thing!) And for the throngs of people who informed me...

I am a member of AOPA and use their flight planning software, but it is missing something. It does not have any of the information from the sectional charts... e.g towers, hills, landmarks etc. IS there any software that will perfrom the same functions as the AOPA flight planner, but somehow...

It seems a little strange when Havana Center says "Cleared to flight level three zero zero". It seems a little strange going eastbound at FL 310. It seems a little strange when Atlanta Center actually has a different altitude available while going to O'Hare. It seems very strange when another...

Ontario, CA -- By choice rather than bad weather or negative action taken by the FAA or TSA, over one thousand glider pilots will be grounded in Ontario on February 10 – 12, 2005. They will be attending the annual national convention of the Soaring Society of America, open to the public from 9 a.m....

Steven, Somebody mentioned that there was a King Air pancaked over at GRB the other day. Do you know any details? Jim

On the way home from Salt Lake City, Utah (KSLC) to Denver Colorado Jeffco (KBJC) on 26 Jan 2005 at about 1338 MST while in the vicinity of Evanston, Wyoming, we heard the following: Salt Lake Center: Attention all aircraft. Hazardous weather information in the form of airmets for the northwest...

Hey guys, I'm doing a story about a flight I took a long time ago out of Cheyenne. I forgot what ATC center you talk with there. Can anyone help? Thanks

Casual debate he Something like .1% of the pilots randomly tested for alcohol and drugs (one was .5%, I believe) tested positive in 2004. That's one in a thousand. As a result of this percentage, the random test rate will stay at 25% for drugs and something similar for alcohol. Meanwhile,...

I am thinking of renting a 172 and going for overnight camping within 4 hours flying distance of North Dallas. I am an AOPA member and I did a search for the fields that allow camping but without descriptions, it is hard to decide. It would be nice to hear from others who have done this. All we...

Crack a brew and sit back and look at these photo's. Big John http://www.micom.net/oops/

I'm a student pilot and I fly out of Chandler, AZ. I thought that I would post this accident because I have read reports posted by others, and I always find them valuable as a reminder of safety. This plane is a rental at my FBO and I have flown it quite a few times, so that makes this extra scary....

The discussion about cutting power on final reminded me of something I've been puzzled about for some time now. If you fly final with some amount of power (which I gather most people do -- I always have) that seems to guarantee that if you lose your engine on final you will land short, and there's...
