Hi all, I'm new to this forum, and hope I'm in the right place to ask these questions. At 45, I've finally decided to follow my lifelong dream of flying. I guess my first concern is, am I too old. I don't want to be a airline pilot, but cessnas or flying instructor would be nice, so long as I...

They're saying the Global Flyer's jet engine burns 102 pounds of fuel an hour. If that kind of fuel weighs in at 6 pounds per gallon, that's about 17 gallons an hour, or roughly double what I burn in the little Cherokees I fly.

Congratulations all of this rare event that happens once in a hundred years!

Having flown a variety of aircraft over the years, I never pass up the opportunity to try a new plane out; regardless if it is a heavy jet, or a small two seat general aviation aircraft.

Hello all! I am currently a senior in meteorology and physics at St. Cloud State University and an active private pilot with my IFR rating. My plan is to become a commercial airline pilot in the next year or two, I hope! Currently I am trying to figure out my meteorology senior research project...

Passive radar is different from traditional forms of radar in that it does not emit any electromagnetic radiation. Instead, it relies on reflections from other electromagnetic signals in the atmosphere in order to provide a radar picture. Passive radar provides a number of distinct advantages that...

I'm considering joining a flying club this week. This one's the closest club to where I live, the members, the planes, and the online scheduling system seem to be great, and I think I'm ready to make the commitment (e.g., buy a share in the fleet). Since I've never joined a club before (have...
