5 Canceled Flights in a Row by
Jay Honeck
What a period of weather! We've been forced to cancel 5 scenic
airplane rides in a row, over the last week, due to high winds, low
ceilings, and bad visibility.
Needless to say, we've had a lot of disappointed couples who were
really looking forward to a romantic sunset ride over the city. ...

5 dead after crash at "fly-in" community runway by
john
http://www.mysuncoast.com/Global/story.asp?S=7778243&nav=menu577_2_1
No mention of the NTSB report. My suspicion is that the "pilot"
failed to gain sufficient airspeed to maintain flight. :-)

5 year medical acceptance in Mexico by
Robert M. Gary
My class 3 medical just went over 3 years. Even though its technically
good for 5 years now I'm considering renewing it to avoid confusion in
Mexico. Has anyone on this list had any experience with using a 4 year
old class 3 medical in Mexico? Did they seem to be aware of the
extension?
I've been...

50 degrees rich of peak by
lardsoup
Ok. Just want to see if I have this correct. When leaning using an EGT
gauge the 172R POH says to lean untill the EGT needle peaks then enrich to
50 degrees F rich of peak EGT.
So the EGT temperature will be 50 degrees less than the peak reading.
Right?

500 Exhibitors at SNF? by
Jay Honeck
http://www.sun-n-fun.org/content/interior.asp?section=flyin&body=exhibitors
That's a pretty impressive list! (I didn't count 'em -- the "500"
comes from the SNF website...)
It looks to me like SNF is rivaling OSH more and more in both size and
scope. I hope it never loses its more laid-back...

500 hours! by
Tony Cox
Well, without noticing it, I managed to crank over the 500
hour mark yesterday. Not particularly impressive compared
to many in this group for sure, but I have paid for each and
every one of those hours myself. According to the ASF, I'm
now in the sweet spot (between 500 and 1000 hours) where

the park? Is there any kind of decent transportation to/from the
park?
Thanks!

daffy
1. Small planes use leaded gasoline, which is more polluting than
autos and with over 600 landings and departures per day.... that is a
lot of lethal pollution.
2. There is always the eminent danger of a plane crash, one just
recently occurred and fortunately the plane landed in the marsh...
