I'm full of intrigue and admiration for these AF reservists that fly C-130`s (?) into hurricanes. I'll google up some more info, but does anyone have links, stories, and ETC. for posting? Thanks, Dave

Aero-News Propwash had a story this morning about a family that took off from Laconia NH airport, whereupon the father/pilot was overcome by CO fumes. His wife was likewise knocked out. The daughter, a non-pilot, contacted the unicom and brought the plane back to LCI for an apparently successful...

But at an air show at San Marcos last year, when I asked a CAF member what they were "commemorating" with their new name, he replied, "The Confederacy, of course." I went through "Sentimental Journey" at an air show in Billings some years ago and got a bunch crew autographs on a picture of that...

Please excuse me for the vagueness of what I'm going to ask. I was watching the Wings Channel some time ago and saw footage of a German flying ace who, before Germany began it's military buildup to World War II, demonstrated his flying skills. One stunt he did was to fly low over a landing strip...

I'm looking for issues involved with a private flying club allowing CFIs to instruct in its planes. If the club just contracts with an FBO to provide instruction, than I suppose this is a moot point, as the FBO takes responsibility. But what if a club member CFI wants to provide instruction? ...

Jim, some things I think are missing from the AvMap which, I believe, the 2000c and the Garmin have: - international database option - land navigation with turn-by-turn voice instruction - sea mode --

I just had the strange experience of reading two books that discuss events I was professionally involved with. I never thought I would see a book, let alone two, in which I had my own index entry with several pages listed. If you like good sea stories, you might enjoy these books which discuss...

I'll be moving to Manhattan from Los Angeles (does it get any more extreme?) next month. Any advice or relevant anecdotes out there to help me gather some leads about continuing my flying hobby from there? I've been renting (in L.A.) - usually from the FBO where I did my training. I'm IFR rated...

Winds can be high through the pass, from the west. Expect lower groundspeed. Oh yes, keep your head on a swivel! It should be a good flight! Harvey "Scott Schluer" wrote in message news:xMgSc.26111$Uh.25928@fed1read02... Thanks for the tip on expecting to...

Hi All... I'm planning my Long XC and wanted to ask if anyone could offer any tips or a "head's up" regarding this route: First Leg: Chandler Muni (KCHD) Gila Bend VOR (GBN) V94 VICKO

Hi any of you pilots heard how the 2 carribean hurricanes are progressing and are they likely to hit the Bahamas regards Frank

I am looking into purchasing my own plane... I think that I am pretty aware of the costs (as much as a non-owner can be). I would like to hear from those of you who have had a good experience with a plane purchase. I have the bad experience posts also. My guess is that the good will outweigh the...

Went to RDG the other day because it had been too long since I went to a towered field and I needed the radio practice. I was directed to fly right base to 36 and landed uneventfully. Upon landing, the tower asked my intentions. I told them that I would like to taxi back for take-off and...

Does anyone have any experience towing their airplane with a golf cart? I'm thinking about mounting a ball on the front of a golf cart to move my Bonanza in and out of the hangar. Many thanks. Ashton

Sorry I don't know more. A friend of mine's business partner lost his brother and another passenger in a crash in the rockies. Only the two of them were on board. I'm told it happened within the last few days. Sounds like they flew into terrain at 11,000'. The pilot was in his early thirties. ...
