I have updated the site with 4 new walkarounds: - SG-38 glider - Alouette III 'Grasshoppers' - Kamov Ka 26 - C-47 Skytrain / Dakota Welcome in :-) Robert Lundin

I will be updating my local turnpoint list soon, I was wondering if someone has already worked out a system of turnpoint naming for landable places that might be short, narrow or somehow useful for some gliders but not 18m+ etc. It would be nice to include fields or ultralight runways etc that you...

you can find all airfoil light & heavy kind in my website (www.myspace.com/buhamad

Heres a report from WABC that apparently aired on Good Morning America this morning: http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=local&id=5747236 appears the airlines are using minimum fuel as much as possible to reduce fuel burns and costs. Seems to me that some good glider experience could become...

Does anyone know of nice, residential airparks in good soaring areas that would be accommodating of gliders? Western US, Northeast US, whatever.....I need to come back to the US and find a soarable place to live, without having to commute to an airfield.

Does anyone have a PDF or similar for a blank compass correction card for the Airpath C2400 ? Thanks ! Best Regards, Dave "YO"

Harrowing pictures and video. Thankfully, nobody was seriously hurt. Pictures: http://www.myfoxorlando.com/story/24923080/2014/03/08/plane-collides-into-skydivers-parachute-mid-air News Story: http://www.myfoxorlando.com/video?clipId=9926200&autostart=true

Question: Can a conventional powered airplane take off from a conveyor belt which is moving at the same speed but in an opposite direction? I was surprised at people's range and passion of answers when I asked this of my glider club. People were absolutely sure it wouldn't work or it would work....

We are having trouble at our airport. Our airport, here in Oregon, USA, is owned by The Port of Hood River, and is federally funded. It’s a small, uncontrolled airport and on a busy day, probably has about a dozen non glider flights. We generally fly our gliders on the windy days, and have the...

Who knows where to find AIP funding. I have to find it for Akron Canton, Cleveland Hopkins, Kent State, and Houston Intercontinental. for the years 1994-2004! And it isnt on the FAA website

I was putzing around in wave yesterday and noticed what appears to be a nice airport not on the chart. East from Bellow Falls. Anybody know this one? /data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sIyEfGcC1aQu9mdcOix3BYw!2e0 See ya, Dave "YO electric"

Our glider club has good relations with our home airport. The airport manager is creating a master plan for renovations of runways and taxiways, and is receptive to ideas that will help create smoother operations for mixed power and sailplane traffic. One of the key goals is to minimize the time...

Just curious. I was reading info on the Perry contest and in the "Contest Information" (SSA website) it states that one must send in a "Perry Airport Waiver" with their entry. What is a "PAW" (besides a dog's foot, my old man, etc.)? JLH

I've been browsing the available documentation and LX's web site, but I'm unable to figure out how the .LXA airport database files (such as are used by my LX7007) are created. I've learned how to use the LXasBrowser tool to create LX airspace files (CU binary format) -- it's a great tool because I...

Last year while motor gliding the western states I had trouble finding airports that can fill my oxygen bottle. I did get fills at Ely, Minden, and Inyokern. Do you know of places that can help out a visiting pilot?

Dear newsgroup reader, Look here the last new update @ my website Airshow Action Photo Gallery - RAF Leuchars Airshow 2004 Scotland - Payerne AIR04 Airshow 2004 Switzerland I hope you like the new pictures (total 288 pictures)

Well, the 2006 airshow season is over. I've burned over 400 gallons of jet-A this summer and there is no doubt that the twin-jet glider is the most fun aircraft I've ever flown. Thanks to all the guys at AMT-USA for their support, and a big thanks to all the airshow volunteers and sponsors without...

Greetings! I have been plagued by airsickness. Struggled with it during training but the flights were short and it did go away to some extent, especially when I made a point of eating fresh ginger daily. Now that I am attempting longer flights it is bugging me again. It seriously spoils the fun...

Seems like very few people in the U.S. have heard of it, but the most effective prescription med for airsickness that I have found is something called "Scopace". It is scopolamine in tablet form. Same drug as in the very expensive anti-nausea patches. Much cheaper in tablet form and the dose is...
