Notice the lengthy article by J. Lynn Lunsford, in todays/Monday Wall Street Journal on freight dogs... Well written I thought, for a non aviation publication... denny

I fly out of Syracuse, NY (US) and the winter these past three weeks has been pretty tough for aviation. Daily snowfall, low clouds, gusty winds, and very, very cold. Last night our local evening news ran a story about this year's winter, which included a shot of an American Eagle ERJ aircraft...

I'm surprised no one has brought up this travesty. For those who don't know, the Enola Gay -- beautifully refurbished and now on display at the new Udvar-Hazy facility of the National Air & Space Museum -- was damaged by some nut case from Ohio who threw something at the plane and dented it during...

I got this one from a friend. NEW YORK, NY (AP)... New York, NY. At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, protractor, setsquare, sliderule, and calculator. At a morning...

ALERT ALERT ALERT "Airline": Southwest's reality show is on tonight at 10pm eastern time on A&E. I am surprised that no one mention it earlier. I was out country until today. Toks Desalu PP-ASEL

I will have my CFI soon and hope to move to Alaska. I know that for most 'bush pilot' type jobs you need at least 1500 hrs and 500 Alaska hrs. What are the availability of CFI jobs though? I hope to build my Alaska time and get my seaplane rating and tailwheel endorsement while flight...
