Full disclosure - I am an 86 year old ex pilot,but my soul is still in the cockpit. Don't know how pertinent this is, but I got a lot of free time nowadays. Back in the late '60's we had a flying club - 3 planes including a 7AC Champ. An airline pilot temporarily stationed locally joined the...

What might a business-sized aircraft have been, that had both a canard stabilizer up front and a regular stabilizer in the back, twin engine, very high pitched (frequency) props, quite fast, that went over. I think it was smaller than what I remember as a Beech starship. -- Ron...

Our local airport, University Airport (KEDU) at Davis, California, was going to be closed 5 years ago. Local pilots formed a group--Friends of University Airport--to defend the airport. We were successful, and rather than disband, the group remained to continue promoting the airport to the...

Anyone know where I can find an old retired Crouse Hinds DCB-10 airport beacon in good condition? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am new to your forum so please forgive me if my question has been asked before. I am searching for records of a Budd RB-1 Conestoga. It was one of three prototypes built by Budd. The aircraft number was NC45354. I went to the FAA website but was unable to find any information. This planes US...

Yes it maybe look strange, but where are electric jets!? Maybe they hidden or something like that... I known that cost of developing engine maybe high, but there are now some electric planes. It's enough to say that 70% of plane ticket on longer distances is for fuel cost. Cheap airlines can throw...

When I was a child, around 1961, I remember airliners making sonic booms when they flew over, and the windows on our house would rattle. Of course this is illegal today. What I can't figure out is what types of airline airplanes flew supersonic. The Boeing 707 cannot fly supersonic. Does anyone...

Hope this is the correct site for this sort of question but I see the new 787 is built in 50 locations around the world, anyone know why this is and how it can be cost effective, given what must be enormous transport costs ...

I have a need to get some close-up images of knobs and/or control panels of aircraft to create my own rendering of a panel. I'd like to overlay different knob types to get a feel of how it will look. Can anyone point me to a source or have any help they can offer?

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. I tried radio shack and they had no idea how to connect the slightly small of the two lightspeed plugs. Is this...

I took a photo of a United Airlines plane in Detroit in March 2004. I'm wondering whether it is a Boeing 737 or Airbus 319 or 320? You can see it here. http://www.ackle.com/ebayualphotos.htm Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see it. Any help with this is appreciated. I sell some United...

What is the 'guard' frequency?

I'm planning on taking my 4 & 6 year olds to their first Oshkosh. However, I don't think they'll have the stamina or patience to make the trip from my Central NJ location into OSH in one day. Probably would be best to fly a few hours and then do some kid-friendly activity for the rest of the...

I saw what looked like a near-miss Monday night (June 30, 8:08 pm PT) above the city of Huntington Beach and would like to find out which airlines they were. And I'd like to find out what happened and how far apart they came. The reason I say "near-miss" was because I first saw a plane climbing,...
