Minor problem on my 2 com radios. If I have both (com 1 and com 2) on I have a squelch noise. If I place my hand on either radio the noise disappears. Most times I use Com 1 for transmitting and com 2 for ATIS listening. Any ideas? Hank N1441P

It has been hot and dry here in the Seattle area for the past few weeks (believe it or not). We have been doing a lot of pattern work at Tacoma Narrows and have had plenty of opportunity to see Wollochet Bay filled with jet skis, water skiers, etc. No doubt these are the same people who...

Oh boy. I feel obligated to reply, so here goes: Pac sezs: Not off topic, the subject is declaring independence from tyranny. The thread was a loose spun conglomeration of many issues. Freedom from tyranny is the one you seem to have taken to, in the context of aviation. OK, I'll keep...

Wednesday night at 8 pm Oshkosh time. Dang it, Jim, when are the Wrong Brothers going to provide baby-sitting service?? ;-) *sigh* One of these years the kids will be old enough to leave alone for a few hours at the campsite. Of course, by then I'll be too old to stay up late enough to...

Fans thought Rod Serling invented the term "Twilight Zone." As a matter of fact, so did Serling. He'd not heard anyone use it before, so he assumed he'd created it. However, after the hit TV show debuted in 1959, Serling was informed that Air Force pilots used the phrase to describe "a moment when...

The second printing of "Military Aircraft Designations and Systems" is still available. We were out of print soon after our October 2002 printing so it is good to have copies available again. We are also able to hold the original price, too. Military Aircraft designations catalogued from 1913 to...

I've lately come to the conclusion that the airspace around NYC is just too (expletive) busy. Last night, I wound up tucked inside the triangle formed by Bridgeporrt, Danbury, and Waterbury-Oxford, carefully watching the GPS to make sure I didn't drift into anyone's class D while practicing...

I used to fly out of BUR, and when they closed Pilots Co-op (became Burbank Aviators), that was the virtual end of rentals at BUR. I moved over to VNY and rent out of Blue Skies - of course, there are a lot of rental facilities at VNY. Shame though, since BUR is a great airport to fly in and out...

I just learned recently that this was possible at my little airport, Hawthorne CA (KHHR). Presumably they get a squawk for you from SoCal and arrange your radar coverage. Couple questions-- 1. What is the phraseology of the request to ground? --I'm guessing it's just "ground, cessna 1234 can...

Perhaps it's the rarity of GA events that make them stand out in peoples minds. I know of someone who's been keeping active track of the "Car plows into..." headlines and it is quite amazing how many there have this year alone. I don't have the number but I know it's in the 2 digits...
