I recently acquired a couple of Peltor 8003 headsets secondhand. They have two stereo jacks. These are molded on so I cannot open them up to see what happens inside. I took the quarter-inch to be stereo, but no: I measured some 290 ohms from tip to ground, and nothing between ring and ground....

Good evening/year a couple of years ago, I polled this site for a wire marking code, and got a couple of replies---one said his was ond but he thought it was used by Piper-I think the other feller said his was military, but old. Anayway, I'm gonna get some sticky back label stock, print up all...

I just received these images from a fellow pilot. Good thing there wasn't a copilot in that seat. "Yikes! Meeting a goose at 11,000 ft. And 185 kts can ruin your...

Hi, this post is for everyone interested in planes of all sorts. I’ve just acquired a new website (www.aviationearth.com) that is all about aviation news, images, videos, articles and more. The aircraft are both old and new from around the entire world. The database is not complete yet but is...
