Ran across two great aviation books on http://www.amazon.com that may be of interest. One is entitled THE LAST FLIGHT OF THE BLUE GOOSE. It`s about B-24 bomber that simply disappeared from Fort Myers Army Air Base, Florida in 1942. In 1977, after the death of a former Luftwaffe pilot a bizarre...

At least a dozen aircraft from Florida were parked on the north ramp at BFM this afternoon. I didn't meet any of the pilots, so I couldn't ask why they would flee a hurricane yet park at a coastal airport on the edge of the projected path of the storm. I realize that the storm probably will be...

I want (need) a new prop for my C152. Sensenich has a 12-week lead time. Are there other sources? 2nd question: Anybody have any comments the Sparrow Hawk conversion?

I need some 5.50 tires and I want Loooong wearing, as the labor is high. Don't care much about price of the tire. Any suggestions?

So I have been reading this thread and it seems to have gone off into a which is hotter - more oil or less oil kind of debate. But right now I am considering buying one of these separators, so would like to bring it back to the original discussion. Does it stop oil from coming out of the breather...

I'm a 160-hour PPL and a club member. My club is great and economical, but availability and flexibility are becoming big drawbacks, so I'm toying with the idea of buying a plane. It's hard to justify on strictly financial terms because the club is such a good deal, but how many times can you...

Or should I say flagpole rash. I just found out one of the line guys was dragging my plane around with a tug and managed to snag the flagpole, leaving a nice flagpole shaped dent in the leading edge of the left wing. I told Mike to just tie the guy to the flagpole, and I will bring in some wood to...

Does anyone make a "glove box"-type of container that can be slid into a vacant radio tray spot? We've got an open spot in the radio stack, which currently has a simple cover plate over it. It would be kinda cool to use this space to hold sectionals, sun glasses, etc... A guy on the field has...

Please forgive me if I've posted this request here before. Memory is the second thing to go... Looking for two things: 1. An old KX-170B, working or not. If not, no trash that some hamhand tried to "fix" by ripping its guts out with a crowbar. 2. Mounting tray for same complete with power...

Has anyone installed this system and what are your results. I have a '65 C-172 with the Lycoming O-360 Conversion and C/S prop. I wonder if I would get the extra performance and purposed fuel burn. Currently I am limited to 36 gallons and that limits my range. Ross

I've heard that there is a way to get the "as shipped" parts list off the web (or somewhere other than Lycoming). I am looking to get the list of parts contained within my engine when it left Lycoming's factory. Does anyone know how to get this, or do I need to work with Lycoming directly? TIA...

I got an idea from a recent thread. I would like to know what you guys would spend to go a little faster. This would seem to be interesting information, and a fun topic. Please note the present speed of your plane, because 5 knots means a lot more at 100 than 200. Personally, It seems to me that...

Caution to those pondering a zero-choke re-man by this company. My O-470J lasted 200 hours before four cylinders showed mid-fifties compression with Blackstone labs reporting symptoms of excessive ring wear. Even after admitting, view phone, that the test-stand results were abnormal, Ney himself...

Jen: It was nice to speak with you, although briefly, yesterday. You seemed a lot more at peace with yourself and your decision to take classes. I applaud your efforts to seek personal challenges. I hope that you have prepared a lavish party and baby shower for your sister. This is the least that...

JFK gave Barbara Pierce a lesson in life in the summer of 1944 (making her a "Cape Cod heiress"), and to her eventual husband, JFK gave a personal motive for revenge. Perhaps if George and Barb had announced their earlier engagement or even if George had given Barb a diamond instead of a cheap...

All this brings up several things. One, Bush learned to fly in the military at government expense, did not complete his assigned commitment, and flew, if I understand , fourteen months after UPT and has not flown as PIC or SIC since. Neither military or elsewise. (Not counting the ride out to the...

Has anyone ever been into Hackney Airpark in Idaho ID05? I'd like to find out a bit more about it. Thanks Paul NC2273H

Need Some Advice From thoughs Who Know, Say you found a 1984 172RG that has had a 250HP powerplant put in and some extra long range fuel tanks but no STC's or any other paperwork for the aircraft except for engine airframe and prop log's. Aircraft also has some very odd instruments also that would...

I have emailed it to you as an attachment. (I recently obtained it from JPI, after misplacing the original disks. They seem to answer email about once a week...) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
