Our EAA chapter had a 40' hangar door that split in the middle and folded sideways (each half). The ends were hinged and the center had a single roller that ran in a track above. The bottom was not attached in any way and just hung. It was held closed and open with large steel pins that dropped...

So, Wichita, Kansas seems to be blessed with a lot of airports and the sectional chart looks pretty busy. To the east of Wichita Mid Continent (ICT), there is Col. Jabara (towerless), Beech Factory (private field w/ tower), McConnell AFB, etc. McConnel's Class D just grazes Beech's towered...

Just heard about this on the morning news. Apparently pilot with 4 months with the company had trouble maintaining altitude and attempted a landing at the Easton, WA airstrip. It sounds like he came up short and crashed into some trees, then cartwheeled and burst into flames. This is tragic,...

Greetings, Well, I went to Oshkosh last week and loved it. I spent about three hours in the museum, not nearly enough, but it was enough to get a feel of the place. The place was dead though. There was about 4 other people in the place besides my friend and I. In a way this was neat because I...

Coming home I flew from Brookhaven direct to Calverton then to Bridgeport then direct Danbury using a combination of my sectional chart and...

I'm still in a bit of a quandry as to how to learn to make coordinated turns in a PC simulator that does not include a motion platform. I've turned on the visual alignment indicator that MSFS provides, which is a red "V" that sits squarely ahead in the visual field, effectively bolted to the...

Does anybody know why on the Denver Terminal Area Chart, the Byers (BVR 113.5) vor/dme facility is charted without the compass ring that are on most vortacs? It's the only one I've seen charted like this. Byers is located 33NM on the 090 radial of DVV (the Denver International Vortac). Thanks,...

Mary and I flew to West Bend, Wisconsin (KETB) today. It was supposed to be CAVU all day, except along the Lake Michigan shoreline (where they were getting stomped with lake-effect snows all day), but, of course, the forecast was just a bit off, as it often is in winter. From Dubuque (DBQ) to...

http://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2007-11-08-saa-jet_N.htm?csp=Travel Maybe a broken fuse pin like the one that brought down that El Al 747 in Amsterdam back in '92? I know airline pilots train for power loss during critical phases of flight, but I wonder how differently the plane handles...

http://koin.com/Global/story.asp?S=6018883 Bummer, but he's alive. He'd just purchased the plane this morning, coming to Troutdale (probably for fuel) and had to make an emergency landing in a suburb about a mile or so from the runway. To the west is Blue Lake (shallow) and to the east...

My instructor has over 100 hrs on the Skymaster, and he always said that the problem with the Skymaster crashes were untrained piltos who didn't take imemdiate actions when needed. He mentioned the Synchrophaser gauge, that would show you which engine was doing the work. IT either pointed forward...
