I need some information from people 'in the field'. My husband has his private license and is just starting to work on his IFR for recreational flying. He wants to buy into a plane partnership, saying he will be saving money rather than renting. We have 2 little girls. I worry for his safety as...

Looks like Discovery Wings will now be "The Military Channel" after Jan 10th. :(. Check out www.discovery.com and click on "Wings" on the left. -Robert

DIGGING A DEEPER HOLE Whether we like it or not, the United States will be dependent on foreign sources of oil for years to come. As each year passes we become more dependent on foreign oil. The amount of oil we require is largely a function of the size of our population. By the year 2050, census...

I just soloed a Schweizer 2-33 on my 14th birthday! It was the very last day of operations for the Windy City Soaring Association (11/28/04) and I was the last flight of the season. I was amazed how much nicer the 2-33 seemed to fly solo (or maybe it was just me). A special thank you goes out...

Hi, I used to drive to a place near Washington, DC that rented horses, but they went out of business. I'm trying to find a stable that rents horses near an airport. Most places in this area just have boring trail rides, and I'd like to be able to go on the trails without a guide. If anyone knows...

I use to have an email where you can change your address online. Does anyone have the url or link?

There have been many stories told about the practice of cutting the shirt of the freshly soloed pilot. None of them made any sense to me, so, after once again reading of the 'tradition' on another list, I asked the one person that I knew who had made a long career of flying and flight instructing,...

What's engine bleeding? I've heard the term a few times before, but know not what it means, or indeed what its use is. If I'd to hazard a guess, it must have something to do with wilfully letting off something - air or fuel, perhaps... Ramapriya

Just wondering what you guys would do with that sweepstakes airplane if Phil called you up and told you it was yours. Keep or sell? www.Rosspilot.com

This has been on my mind for a long time now. I am planning on pursuing a career in aviation, whether that be in the military, corporate, regional, the airlines, or possibly as just an instructor. Now when it comes down to hiring, will the results of my private, instrument, commercial etc....

Hi, I'm a commercial pilot looking to fly a high performance single (or multi-engine). Anyone own a plane that would be willing to rent it? I would help with insurance and pay a per hour charge. I would prefer KFRG or KISP, but i can also fly from KTEB. I'm looking to build some time, and don't...

Here are some conversations that airline passengers normally will never hear. The following are accounts of actual exchanges between airline pilots and control towers around the world. Tower: "Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!" Delta 351: "Give us another hint! We ... have...

Hi folks, What exactly is engine bleeding? I've heard the term occasionally but don't know what it is. Does it involve letting off something - air or fuel, perhaps? And what's bleeding useful for? Ramapriya

Is it legal for a helicopter to fly under a bridge? What are the obstale clearance limits? Best, -cwk.

I need to do something to say thanks to my CFI, but I can't think of any grand ideas. I really feel bad for not having to pay him much for instruction. I'm going for my exam at 41hrs. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1...

It looks like I'm probably going to be able to give instruction in a PA-12 that recently went on-line at a nearby FBO. It sounds like more fun that just working with private applicants. :) Looking over the paper work, I can't find any CG range or loading limitations for the aircraft. We have the...
