Unfortunately accidents do happen, but it was the first time I had somewhat to do with it. The airplane I usually fly with, a Piper Arrow from the local flight school and FBO, crashed on landing during a cross-country flight to Florence (Italy). The plane suddenly banked to the left 10 feet over...

Hi everyone, I have a question for people who fly in CT, and NY often. Today I was flying from Danbury (DXR) to Brookhaven (HWV). I flew out without incident. Coming home I flew from Brookhaven direct to Calverton then to Bridgeport then direct Danbury using a combination of my sectional chart and...

Boeing's competence seems to be eroding. I hope the new CEO can turn it around. Perhaps Boeing's move of engineering staff to Chicago was a poor decision. Such a financial-based decision was a mistake, and should be corrected by moving headquarters out of the city that closed Meigs Field, and...
