HI all! Did anyone out there in airplane land enjoy last night's documentary of AA11 (first to crash flight in NYC) as much as I did? I'm sure there will be repeats in the near future for those whom missed it. I just wanted to ask those of you serious airline pilots, whom did view the show,...

I just want to clear some confusion reg. private pilot services. I know that PP cannot charge for any services for compensation or hire other than sharing the fuel cost. Can someone zoom little bit into it? Specifically if someone (non-pilot) wants to rent an airplane (also if he can rent at all?)...

I see a Notam that the main runway has been closed since early December. There was also an article about a developer looking to keep it as an airport but building houses. Anyone have any idea what's going on there? Thanks. Tom

Best-selling mystery author Marcia Muller has written me into "The Ever-running Man" as the manager of the Little River, CA airport. She hadn't forewarned me, so reading my own name was a pleasant surprise. Bob Gardner

A discussion recently came up and I figured that perhaps someone around here might have an answer. Approximately how much does it cost the oil companies to ferry a single helicopter load of crew out to an oil rig that is 100 miles from shore?

Since I am not a HTML guy, it is very simplistic but hopefully this will encourage more people to comment on this worthless, onerous NPRM before the comment period ends on 3 March 2008 http://stopads-b.org/ADS.htm Ron Lee

Has anyone used any programs for a Palm Pilot that provide E6B functions? Which ones, and what did you think? I found something called FlightPal on the Net and not much else, but I don't know anything about it. Sporty's has something for the same price but I don't think it's downloadable.

Just got off the phone with Avmap support. Club avmap is back in business so regular, scheduled, automatic updates are available again. The current software requires a 512MB CF card, so if you haven't upgraded, be prepared to. XM weather will be available by the end of the year pending...

I have a 1989 copy of From The Ground Up I paid $20 at the time. I saw a updated copy for $50. I don't like the 1989 copy I have, I think it is poorly written and doesn't explain the topics properly. If anyone has the updated version is it the same stuff inside or is it completely re-written and...

Colonel Bob Morgan, pilot of the famed "Memphis Belle" -- the most famous B-17 Flying Fortress of World War II -- is currently in the hospital following a bad accident. At his age injuries of any kind can be life threatening, but in this particular case Bob actually broke his neck in a bad fall at...
