Are 9B4 (Shirley) and 6B6 (Minuteman Field) gone for good? -- Roger Long

Just saw in this month's AOPA (Fall flights): "Most pilots slumming around the pattern on a hot summer day will probably not flip the pitot heat on, but certainly anytime you're flying in or near moisture - at any air temperature - It's safest to use pitot heat." - Editor in Chief, Thomas B....

It appears that a lot of pilots are violating airspace even with GPS on board. I would like to hear some feedback as to how pilots are violating airspace with GPS. I address this in my online book, www.cockpitgps.com. I have my hypothesis, but I would like to hear your experience or scenarios...

I recently got my PPL and went for my first x-country with my wife. I trained at an uncontrolled field and going to a controlled field always was a little more challenging for me. Anyway all went well on our trip to the class-D airport. We got the courtesy car, went to have the $100 hamburger..all...

There was a one paragraph blurb in the business section this morning that Boeing will shutdown the 757 production line late next year. Is the Dreamliner to be the replacement in the product line? I didn't think the Dreamliner would be certified that soon. D.

So the pres came to town today to tour the fire damage we had recently. Eating lunch outside I saw Air Force One take off, it definitely did not use the standard departure. It's nice to know that SD traffic was shutdown so the president didn't have to look in the paper to see the damage (and kiss...

Last weeks solar flare was a non-event except for "a few aircraft navigation systems" as NPR put it. The one that erupted this morning and will reach earth Wednesday or Thursday is believed by astronomers to be possibly the largest since the invention of the integrated circuit. Time to dig out...

It seems that every Saturday morning around 9-10 AM I see a FedEx plane flying over Benbrook, TX at what I'm guess to be between 3,000 to 5,000 ft. He looks like he is a little off to be going to the Joint Reserve Base (Carswell), but that's the only thing I can figure that he is going. I...
