Hello, I am planning on flying to Nashville next week and will most likely file to MQY. I have a couple of questions. Any opinions/comments are welcome. 1. FBO comments? (Corporate Flight vs Smyrna Air Center? friendliness, special fees, fuel prices etc. ?) 2. BNA vs MQY? (Is there any...

I just now learned that then-Major Charles Sweeney, the pilot of Bockscar on the Nagasaki mission, died in Boston last Thursday at the age of 84. According to an obituary this morning in the Aero-News email newsletter: A staunch defender of the atomic missions, Sweeney told Quincy (MA) Patriot...

There are 3 planes with tents already on the field. FYI

Gatt, American envy German freeways, and let me tell you it isn't just Germany. After a look at the accident statistics, you wouldn't anymore. I vastly prefer long distance driving in the US to Germany. You can't go really fast in Germany anymore anyway, either there are speed limits or too...

In a previous article, Andrew Gideon said: BTW, isn't 60 people and 4 airplanes tight? We've 45 and 4, and we're always looking at how to improve "availability". We're 52 and 5 right now, and trying to get an airplane on a summer weekend is an exercise in pre-planning and...

This means that if there is any question of eligibility for a medical certificate, it may become worthwhile to schedule an "aeromedical consultation" or "aeromedical office visit" with your AME before you fill out an actual application for a medical certificate. I like the word "consultation"....

For my waypoint generators, my main source for data for outside of the US is the Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File, a product of the US National Geospatial Intelligence Agency NGA (Formerly NIMA - National Intelligence and Mapping Agency, I think, but that's not relevant anyway). I've...

I've been using Cirrus for DUATS over my cable modem for years. My drive crashed recently and I reinstalled the program. Now I can't get it to aurtomatically log in and get the weather info I ask for. It just comes to the prompt and asks for my name. From there I have to type...

My wife told me about a single engine amphibian that crashed Monday with one (of two occupants aboard) fatalities. A man and his son were in the airplane. The father was able to call 911 with his cell phone after the crash. Rescuers had a hard time finding the crash due to the extremely dense...

Hello I am helping a friend sell an airplane and a home in an airpark. I would like to get suggestions from this group as to good online forums and marketplaces to post these items. I've never been in the market for either of these items, so I don't know much about where to go. Where do you...

I floated this as a idea a while ago. I've done it every flight since and I' m ready to advocate it. It may not work with every engine but it works great with our O-320 H2AD. For taxi, I set RPM to 1000 and lean to maximum RPM. Thereafter, I control engine speed with the mixture instead of the...

Are there any Peterborough area pilots here? My wife wants to go to Ottawa for the weekend (Canadian Aviation Museum here I come :-) I thought that Peterborough would make a good lunch & leg stretching stop. It is almost exactly half way from Port Elgin. Is there a restaurant at the airport? If so...

Today I learned a lesson about practicing IFR flight. I was practicing with another member of our flying club who is a private pilot, but not instrument rated, coming back from Rogers, AR to Fort Smith after a pancake breakfast fly-in. Fort Smith was landing 7. My safety pilot wanted to fly just...
