The Bay Area has more small plane traffic this week. I notice more out of state "N" numbers on those planes flying, creating more NOISE. It must be the all the bad weather back east causing all the small planes to fly above me.

All I have to say about user fees is that if they are implemented and I am going to be nickeled and dimed to death by a bureaucratic nightmare that adds overhead and significantly more per hour cost to an already expensive per hour rate for flying time, I am going to hang up my wings... Just...

Thanks to my employer's competition who was mentioned profusely on CNN lately, and the winter weather, it has been an interesting week. All 4 days of my trip were evening trips that turned into night trips. Wednesday night had me landing at Logan at 2:30 AM. The approach was a roller coaster....

I am in the market for a Sport Aviation plane. How do I find out what AD apply to a plane? Is there a web site somewhere that lists the ADs for a given plane? Danny Deger

If someone really wanted to hit the issues on this, they would do a detailed comparison among three similar countries with similar challenges and traditions, i.e., the U.S., Canada and Australia.

I have owned a 196 for about four years, without any serious concerns. Last week, I encountered a problem that is serious. While the unit works fine on aircraft power, it will not function on battery power. It will turn on but it will shut itself off within 30 seconds. This happens every time. ...

Dear space advocates: "Let's go!" These were the words spoken by Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin as he embarked on the historic first manned space flight on 12 April 1961. Twenty years later on 12 April 1981, the US launched the first space shuttle flight. We

I haven't flown in a while, but am in the market for a used plane. I recalling hearing somewhere that straight-in approaches are now approved at uncontrolled airports. Is this correct? Danny Deger

The REAL reason for record airline delays in America are... 1. ****ed off FAA controllers going by the book (Time in trail)because FAA Management treats their controllers and employees like dog **** 2. Incompetent social engineered marble mouth talking black females "In chagge" who are clueless...

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9161106816384837258 This makes me nuts. An irreplaceable Corsair is lost in an air race - a Super Corsair at that, which I think was one of a handful of R-4360 powered F4Us. Glad the pilot got out, but another piece of history is gone, and for no good reason...
