We had someone from Kansas City who was going to stay with us during the EAA Airventure, but changed his mind about coming. So now my wife and I are happy to offer our spare bedroom in our house in northern Appleton, Wisconsin, about 35 minutes from EAA in Oshkosh. It isn't much, just a futon...

Hey Jay! We found an Ercoupe mounted on the roof of a gas station in Wautoma, Wisconsin. I thought of you and your hotel immediately, of course. Maybe you could do something similar. I'll post photos I took of it on alt.binaries.pictures.aviation. Scott Wilson

Trey Lessard posted the following on the Yahoo Tomahawk group that I thought ya'll might find interesting: N2426N is now deceased...it was 'bartered' to one of the folks who was owed alot of money. The engine was then rebuilt by someone at KBAZ, and the new owner sold it to my brother and I. My...

Has anyone heard anything new on this incident? A few ideas from me... 1) training exercise that went awry 2) ATC was asleep at the switch 3) strobes / nav lights burned out

Hallo everybody: I am making plans for a flying tour (Cessna or Piper singles) in South Africa and neighbouring countries. The idea is to carry a folding muntain bike and a tent and visit the place. As I've never been in South Africa I wonder if there's somebody among you that could provide me...

Does anyone out there have any or all expired WAC charts that they would like to sell or give away? As I've seen posted before, I'd like to try and use them as wallpaper. Thanks in advance, AXA

Hi everybody, I looking for some documentation about the famous Cessna Citation X bizjet like Flight Manual, Checklists and FS Flight Tutorials. Can someone help me or tell me where I can found it ? Thanks Paulo

I'd be interested in comments about this program. It was two years in the planning, but the team didn't figure out that a Skymaster chase plane at full throttle could not keep up with the 727 on approach. They didn't figure out that you should not fly an approach at typical glide slopes for...

My grandson, on the cusp of not taking Santa seriously, asked me about him. He knows a little about aviation slang so I told him that IFR means I fly reindeer and that it's a special thing the FAA allows at low levels only one night a year, and that at low level it's not a threat to other airplanes...

Imagine for a moment that you were a really good electro chemist, that you had enough money to allow you to do applied research on battery technology, you had an invention that improved energy density for batteries, and that you were also somewhat knowledgeable as an entrepreneur. So you have this...

Next time you're at altitude and in cruise mode, switch from 'both' to a single bank of spark plugs. It will remind you what happens should you have one side decide to go in/op when in flight. I had the engine (IO 360) go rough a couple of weeks ago, but rough was a lot better than the very smooth...

Well, this is starting out with an aviation theme, let's see where it goes. This is one cool website. http://www.codeonemagazine.com/test/archives/2007/articles/jan_07/cockpits/cockpits.html

It's evident that the findings cited here http://www.livescience.com/animals/060802_brain_prey.html apply to humankind as well. The report reminds us that predators prefer dimwitted prey. What a surprise! What is odd is that dimwitted predators manage to thrive, too.

A recent thread reminded me it might be worth discussing an personal flying practice. When en route, as a way of reducing the likelihood of a midair by about a binary order of magnitude (that's a factor of two for the non mathematically inclined) I fly the nominal altitude less 100 feet VFR, or...

Taken from an on line news article, but I've removed the name of the pilot. Pilot NNNNNNNN was flying his personal plane from North Carolina to his Florida home when he decided to fly over his house and saw something unusual. "He observed a silver truck with white camper in his driveway and...
