He is invited for a dinner at the private house of his French
counterpart.
When he reaches the place, he can't refrain to say:

anyone know where I might be able to find a PMA'd new one, or a
salvage company that may have one? I've tried Aircraft Spruce, and
McFarlands and neither have a PMA'd cable for early Pipers as well as

Accident db? by

When a title search is done, the company often offeres to provide a
history of accidents in which the a/c was involved.
Googling for 'FAA Accidents" I see what appears to be a wide range of
choices.

specific a/c may have been...

High Voltage Light On (Temporarily) by
three-eight-hotel
I recently took a flight that brought me back in the late evening
hours, and in a hurry, I was a little remiss in my checklist of
securing the plane after shutdown. Landing light, taxi light, strobes,
beacon, nav lights and transponder were all left on, but the master was
shut off.

Texas Air Aces T-34 that went down a few days ago suffered a wing
separation. It only allows a few hours of flight under very strict
restrictions to...

What type of wax do you use on your airplane? I'd like to stay away
from the standard "carnuba" type waxes because its a royal pain to
