Search continues for missing pilot by
C J Campbell
http://www.thesunlink.com/redesign/2004-03-08/local/420302.shtml
I take students out over this area to practice every single day. The whole
area is heavily forested (as is all of western Washington), but there are
also several private airstrips, golf courses, farms, a pipeline right of
way,...

Whew! by

Just visited "alt.religion" for the first time (after taking the kids to see
"The Passion of the Christ" this evening. Tip of the Day: Don't waste your
money -- we ended up walking out mid-way through. This movie makes
"Scarface" look like a Disney flick...), and what a bizarre walk on the...

Who has a night rating? by
Marc Lattoni
As a VFR only pilot, I thought it pointless to get a night rating due to the
potential difficulties of encountering a "black hole" and not having the
skills to get back to safety. But our flight school encourages us to
experience the beauty of night flying on clear nights.
Just wondering, how many...

Good Books to Read by
john smith

WOW!!!
This is a must read for the pilot of any high performance airplane that
wants to understand the hows and whys of flying.
This book is straight forward, no fluff, way it is reading.
Twenty years ago, when I got my PPC, I...

Hey guys,
Beware of this new strain of spring-time bug that's going around.
Here's what happened to a guy that got it.
Intoxicating Wild Blue Temporary Madness

Thunderbird Crash Footage by

Many thanks to this group's own John Osterhout for forwarding me these cool
videos of the Thunderbirds crash from last fall:

John Kerry: No ATC Privatization on His Watch by

While this AVflash blurb points the way for airmen at the ballot box,
I find it interesting that Kerry has overlooked the fact that it was
Clinton/Gore who initiated the notion ATC privatization.

Garmin 196: Anyone else dissapointed in the actual ability to capture sats by
Mike Z.
Like a lot of folks here, I debated between the Garmin 295, 196 and the Anywhere Map from Control Vision. I badly wanted a color
unit but couldn't see buying the 295 because it has to be due for replacement. Witness the nice, non battery eating screens of the
new Street Pilot and the 76C...

A good point. I've had a relative continue to drive until multiple

GPSMAP 195/196 vs. Lowrance AIPMAP 1000 by

Please excuse me for cross posting. There are two separate
discussions going on about the Lowrance Airmap 1000.
Mike,
I just bought an Airmap 1000. I placed a pirep over on rec.
aviation.piloting last night. I've never flown with a 195 or 196. It
sounds like they are very nice, but cost more...

Going through ATL by

I will be flying down to the NASCAR race in Atlanta on March 14th. For
those of you who have flown out of races, it is a pain in the butt to get an
IFR clearance and get out of the airport quickly. By far, the best way is
to take off VFR and try to file and get a clearance in the air. The...
