"The Aviator" by
Orval Fairbairn
My wife and I went to see "The Aviator" yesterday.
Comments:
The planes and some of the flying sequences were great -- especially the

Acting: Leonardo DiCaprio should *never* have been cast as a pilot! His
"flying"...

GEG
Hi everyone,
I'm a student with about 10 flights under my belt.

I also really like - but for COMPLETELY different reasons,
and I can consider him "acceptable", but not great.
I wish I...

polar diagram in high altitude by
dominik lenné
Hi,
I wonder whether the lift over resistance coefficient diagram (aka polar
diagram or lilienthal diagram) of a given airplane changes much with
altitude.
The rationale behind the question is, that I read somewhere, that commercial

Increasing Aviation Publicity by
SBPilot33
Has anyone else noticed all the "all of a sudden" Aviation publicity in media lately? I bet its because of people knowing of all the pilot boomers who are to retire in the next decade or so. I sure you've all seen it: (the new Pan Am TV Series, Disney's "Airplanes"(Cars Sequel) coming out next...

iPad APPS ? by
Robert11[_3_]
Hello,
Looked, but couldn't seem to find any.
Might anyone know of any free (or inexpensive) iPad APPs that would
enable one to hear Tower and Tracon conversations from different sites ?
Or other "good" Aero. related APPS ?
Thanks,
