My wife and I went to see "The Aviator" yesterday. Comments: The planes and some of the flying sequences were great -- especially the S-38 and the reproduction of the H-1 and the CGI of some of the other planes. Acting: Leonardo DiCaprio should *never* have been cast as a pilot! His "flying"...

A neighbor, who is UAL (ret) asked me to circulate this one. They make some pretty good points, as the UAL people currently stand to get reamed pretty badly. ***************** Due to the bankruptcies of Delta and Northwest there is a very strong call in Washington for immediate pension relief.*...

Fewer Noise Complaints Spurs Drive for More Complaints May 20, 2010 ‹ A neighborhood association in Greenwich, Connecticut, is imploring its members to keep making noise complaints about Westchester County Airport, which borders the community in the northern suburbs of New York City. John...

Suppose *both* pilots in, say, a B-737, were to die in flight due to some incredible, but unfortunate coincidence. For instance, one could die of a heart attack, and the other, say, of an aneurysm. Now, I'll admit the chances of this happening are remote, but it could happen; stranger things...

The used market is already projected to go in the toilet very shortly. Prices are starting to drop. A repeat of the 80s when stuff sold for a fraction of it's previous value. High fuel prices. People are losing on investments and having to sell off or not buy planes to replace those dollars. People...

Hi, It seems most handheld GPS can be connected to a computer (through a serial cable, IIRC). That allows some cool features, like preparing your flightplan in advance on your PC, or downloading to the PC the actual positions of your aircraft in order to obtain a chart of the actual flight...

Hmmm. It’s way too early to know what caused the SFO crash on 28L today. But..I suspect (ILS was out on 28L) that he got way too low too soon, got within 50’ of the surface, had autothrottles on which pulled the throttles to idle and the pilot let that happen but rotated to get to the...

I have what might be a slightly odd question. I want to be able to connect a LightSpeed headset to a cassette recorder. The recorder has 2 sockets 1 for headphone, and 1 for microphone.
