Are there any Peterborough area pilots here? My wife wants to go to Ottawa for the weekend (Canadian Aviation Museum here I come :-) I thought that Peterborough would make a good lunch & leg stretching stop. It is almost exactly half way from Port Elgin. Is there a restaurant at the airport? If so...

I've just taken the first small step towards obtaining my commercial pilot certificate. Granted, it's a small step (ordered & received written test prep book plus an '08 FAR/AIM)...but it's a step none the less towards my transition from PP-ASEL to CP-ASEL. All I need to do now is start...

The EAA Rocky Mountain Regional Fly-In is this coming weekend. It's being held at Front Range Airport (FTG) just south of Denver International Airport. This show has grown every year. When I went last year, I had a great time. If you're in the area, on the ground or in the air, stop on by! You...

After weeks of truly dreadful weather, and an untold number of obstacles, both natural and man-made, the Iowa City Big Kids Toys Show opened to the public with a bang! What a turn-out! The weather was *perfect*, Mustangs flew, T-6s growled, Pitts Specials covered the town with smoke, helicopters...

We are looking for free plans to download, or anything similar, to build a bi-plane for a person to fly. Not a model, a real bi-plane! Can anyone help?

I am looking to get my private pilot's license and was looking for schools in the Atlanta (Midtown) area. I was looking for a location that has a good safety record and is reasonably priced. Location is not a major issue. Is there a way to check safety records for flight schools and on different...

Eight Ball Flying Club, located at the Van Nuys airport - now has openings for 2 members. Recently refurbished (paint, glass, interior) 172, and excellent 182, at VERY low prices. http://www.8ballfc.org

Source: Dow Jones News of 17.06.2003 Boeing Co (BA) may be making a lot of hype at the Paris Air Show about its proposed 7E7 airliner that was dubbed the Dreamliner over the weekend, but the chief salesman of Boeing's rival Airbus (F.ABI) knows a sales gimmick when he sees one. "The "dream...

Just returned from 5 days in Key West, FL. For those who haven't flown there, I would highly recommend the experience. A mix of commercial flights, both heavy and light GA, and biplane sight seeing tours make KEYW a busy single runway airport, but everything was sequenced nicely. We had a few...

A plan to close a runway at Chicago Executive Airport is economically driven and could pose a danger for single-engine planes, some pilots say. "It's apparent to us, the small-airplane owners, they don't really want us here," said Jim Loerzel, a pilot based at the former Palwaukee Municipal Airport...

Hi, Does anyone have experience flying around HI? I'm going on vacation there and have a 182 scheduled for 2 days and am hoping to hear about some, "Don't miss this" spots from people who've done this before. Thanks in advance for any replies. z

Hi All, I gave up on active participation in this group a good while ago as the disruptive presence of MX was proving frustrating to say the least. The fact that I pity his clear deficit of social skills, poor self esteem and insecurity issues coupled with his probable mental medical condition did...

We're going to be hard-pressed to go far enough north to be in Iowa City on the trip back to Kitty Hawk, but it is one of our targets on the way home. What particular day depends on a lot of things (how long we stay with Gail's sister, how long it takes us to "do" the Aerospace Museum, etc.) but...

I have been looking for some resources on the Internet (including AOPA's member section) for some basics on airframe construction. In my studying to become a pilot, I have come across references to spars, bulkheads, and other A&P terminology that I don't have an understanding for. Can anyone point...

Previously I had purchased an eFlyBook from MyAirplane.com, based upon reports from OSH. It is a small (around 8x10inx0.5) plastic cased screen that utilized a new technology of digital ink (black and white only at this time, compared to Sony's proprietary product)/ On it in the memory are ALL...
