WOW - Shots fired at skydiving plane in NY... by
Buff5200
I believe the "minigun" is the chopper door mounted version of the
electric gattling guns.
Arnold was hand holding one in "Predator" and "Terminator II".
The weapon that's as long as your aircraft, throws 6,000/min of death
is the Vulcan Cannon of A-10 Warthog fame.
A mini gun would be the...

Flying is proof of Freedom, was: Happy Fourth, Folks! by
Rosspilot
I have, like many Americans, felt we should not support
Israel in any shape or form unless they recall the methods they used
to gain a homeland, many many years ago,
Will you elaborate? What do you mean "method"? Are you suggesting that the
process (involving Great Britain and other world...

I fly the J-31! by

I had the opportunity to fly a Jetstream 31 recently.
Hi Doug, enjoyed reading this. One question:
Along the way, the TCAS alarm went off. That's one of those things that sits
you up right away with wide open eyes searching frantically for the other
plane. Apparently,...

Pirep: B-17 ride by
Greg Burkhart
Jay mentioned on here a couple months ago about B-17 rides available through
the Collings Foundation (http://www.collingsfoundation.org/menu.htm). I
checked the schedule and found the B-17 and the B-24 were going to be at the
Anoka County airport in Minnesota on July 9-13th. This was great timing...

need to rent(borrow?) 1-2 life vests (a raft?) for Oshkosh by
Vassilii Khachaturov
Don't waste your energy flying over the lake. It will only take a few
extra minutes to fly around it and the scenery is great (if the haze isn't
too bad). Fly direct Gary and then up the lake shore.
Maybe we'll end up doing just that; at this moment I'm just
considering
what's...

US Airways - NEVER AGAIN !!! by
Robert Henry
I used to fly a considerable amount
of commercial. I plan to never fly commercial again. Doesn't matter where
the problem(s) lies, commercial airline travel sucks big time.
Me too - same sentiment. The airlines refuse to adopt SOPs to handle the
weather and FAA issues, imho.
I went full...

Child head set by
Dennis O'Connor
Planning a flight to the Adirondacks in a couple of weeks... This will be
the first longish trip for my grandson, age 9 - he is a bit small for his
age... The adult head sets are a bit big for him... Anyone have a small
head set they want to get rid of?

Backup gyros - which do you trust? by

There are several things you can add to help with the identification, In my

Boeing to fly fuel-cell GA plane... by
DeltaDeltaDelta
I read an interesting article in the papers a while ago concerning hydrogen
fuel cells. It made the point that the fuel cell can actually be more
polluting than an petrol engine since all the hydrogen ejected into the
atmosphere could have an adverse effect on the oxygen in the air and
possibly...

Now that I'm flying solo I have to pay attention to the "cannot be a pilot"
clause of my current life insurance policy. One option I have is to scrap
the policy (it is a term policy) and start anew with one which does not have
the rider for piloting an airplane.
The second option, which I prefer,...
