Does anyone have updates on the family's condition. (Couldn't find this discussed through Google) I met Dick on my way to the Arlington Washington Airshow in 2002. He was very kind to me and let me stay on his property at the Grass Valley Airport. I lost the card he gave me which had his website...

Former Republican Sen. Ted Stevens was one of eight passengers aboard a small commercial aircraft that crashed near Dillingham, Alaska, on Monday, according to a U.S. official. Also on the plane was Sean O'Keefe, a former National Aeronautics and Space Administration administrator and now chief...

I've been reading down through the comments, and decided to day-dream a little. I'm 84, lost my medical in 1980. So I'm behind the curve to a large extent when it comes to the cost of flying. In the mid- '50's, 6 of us started a flying club with a 1949 7AC Champ. Paid $1200 for it, 700 hour...

Hard to believe. An LSA with 180 hp? And it climbs 2100 fpm? That's different. http://www.cubcrafters.com/carboncubss/overview --- Mark

Took a ride to Dallas - well Denton - the nearest easy access point to the Metrollops. I had forgotten how crowded the roads are - the Pres Bush turnpike was crawling because of a ONE car breakdown - and people were driving over the grass onto the sideroad to escape the hangup. Coming back in...

This one did not break my airplane, but. . . Landing in a cross wind at an uncontrolled airport -- it might have been Urbana IL, not sure. Anyhow, there was a large barn not too far from the centerline on the upwind side of the runway. I pretty much had most of the rudder in, maybe 5 feet agl,...

Having never flown overseas, where can I find a prog/forcast/airmet describing the location and hazard areas of the current ash cloud over Iceland. Any way to tell what airports are closed and which ones plan to be closed ? Thanks

Now here's a short airplane ride I think many of us would pay good money to take. http://vholdr.com/video/lap-around-boat

Me, not this newsgroup... New (to me) airplane is paid for (LSA amateur built taildragger (Merlin GT)) and waiting for me to get current to come get it. Hangar is sitting empty. The instuctor thinks next time round I should be in good enough shape to sign off - my airwork is good - had some...

wrote As a matter of minor interest, there's an interesting logic trap in play here. I think it is safe to say all holders of the airline transport rating also hold commercial certificates at least in the US. As I have pointed out before, ATP is NOT a rating, it is a...

Today, an aircraft went over that reminded me about a post of a couple days ago, when a poster talked about the awful noise a Beech Starship made, as it went over. I had a remarkably similar experience with my sighting today. I heard this plane coming straight at me at around 3,000 feet and was...
