I've just got a couple of questions regading a future career as a pilot, probably beginning after university (Biology). First of all, I would like to know if ethnicity would pose any barrier to becoming an airline pilot. All the yahoos that initiated the 9/11 disasters seem to have cast a shadow...

July issue of AOPA pilot considered density altitude a major topic. I have looked a bit around on the net and found formulas to compute exact density altitude from indicated altitude and weather data. (http://wahiduddin.net/calc/density_altitude.htm) Well, I implemented these formulas into a...

I presume you mean "LSA," since there's no US "VLA" certification category. ummm - sorry about the confusion, you are right. I meant LSA (Light Sport Aircraft). Seems that I am dreaming of a VLJ or so... ;-) I think as long as it is N-numbered, reciprocity agreements will allow it to be ...

Hi there, assume the following: o FAA medical o FAA private pilot certificate o N-registered VLA May I fly this constellation outside U.S.? Yes, I know that it's no problem for 'regular' plane - but VLA?

Friend of mine said at lunch today that the upper wings of biplanes have no dihedral. Hementioned specificlaly the Stearman PT-17. I believe he was mistaken. I know the Sopwith Camel upper wing was flat but I think the PT-17 and most other biplanes have dihedral in both wings. Any expert...

I read in a recent Av Leak that the stuff fire-bombers drop is a mixture of phosphate fertilizer and water. Can anyone tell me how the phosphate functions as a fire retardant? Is it ammonium phosphate, sodium phosphate, or what? Thanks. vince norris

Going to England soon. I know there are aviation museums at Hendon and Duxford. Any others I shouldn't miss? TIA vince norris

I've seen the S-38 named "Osa's Ark," owned by explorers Martin and Osa Johnson, in a museum somewhere. EAA doesn't list it. Anyone know where I saw it? Thanks. vince norris

I have a wooden cigar box and am wondering if anyone can tell me anything about it. Almost every industry has an association, and they usually keep historical records and even have a museum. I'll bet there's an outfit with a name something like 'Tobacco Institute." Google around till you find...

No. Straight lines on Lambert Conformal maps are not great circles. It's my understanding that the Lambert Conformal is better than any other flat surface at representing the curved surface of the earth in such a way that a straight line on the chart comes very close to being a Great...
