test

Good morning, all...and some quick observations before I hit the sheets for a long winter's snooze...having arrived home an hour ago from two weeks of across-the-country driving: 1. 7000 miles autodriving ain't one TENTH as much fun as flying. 2. 7000 miles autodriving is TEN times as much more...

Does anyone know of any airports reasonably close to hiking trails in the Northeast? I know of Black Moshannon State park near Mid state airport in Pennsylvania but was wondering about others. Trying to combine two of my interests. Thanks, Ken

Why even bother to have windows in a commercial jet? A Boeing press release makes note of the larger than usual windowns for their new 7E7 jet. Late model jets are full of video screens at each seat. Why not use snythetic views of the outside? The view from a window is limited. With video, all...

I recently discovered a beuatiful little treasure in the form of a National Geographic from Sept 65, the majority of which is a huge article on the US Air Force at the time. The opening article was written by Gen LeMay who had just retired. It was SAC's glory days, there were 800,000 people in...

Australian politions have decided to upgrade our aviation security with things like ; - Air-marshals on (so far) some international flights. - Strengthening cockpit doors on all RPT aircraft. - Making airport owners responsible for extra ground security. - Having the spooks do background checks on...

Somehow the FAA forgot to send me the last batch of sectional DVDs and by the time I finally called about it they didn't have any remaining. I was told to wait for the next batch. It's here. This batch doesn't become effective until December 25, 2003, but because the previous batch has expired,...

Wright replica fails to get off the ground One hundred years to the day after Orville and Wilbur Wright soared into history on man's first powered flight, modern-day aviators sought to duplicate the feat, with a little help from 21st-century technology and supercomputers. They flopped badly. at...

I took a little bit of a break after creating the tools to generate normalized "chunks" from sectional images. http://aviationtoolbox.org/munge/mosaic Over the holidays I got back into it and tackled doing something useful with those chunks. I already revealed my map_image tool which generates an...

Of the current crop, I'd say the Beech 1900D. Nose wheel RIGHT at the nose, the cockpit looks like it's from another plane, as does the passenger door, all those appendages around the tail... Andy

Wonderful front-page story in (of all places) today's New York Post about a guy in a Mooney who sounds like he busted the NY Class B with style and ended up with an armed escort home. http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/14692.htm

It looks like the BLM has a shapefile for all of the TFRs but they only share it with "BLM members who are logged in". http://airspace.blm.gov/mapping/blm/tutorial.html Anyone know of another source for this information? (I'd also like to hear why they're restricting access to this.) Thank...

I now have GeoTIFFs of FAA sectional maps available in several...

Just a quick question about become an advanced ground instuctor....Since there is no practical test where do i have to bring me test reports? I like in NY Thanks to all who reply!! Chris

I do some of my best thinking while flying along in the Champ at 500 feet AGL. The latest realization to hit me was, "What am I going to leave behind in the way of an aviation legacy?" Photographs are one of the easiest most efficient ways to share our flying experiences with other, so that is one...
