Yow! We're going to a new disco!

I had planned a full moon flight up the coast last night, which had to be canceled (and not for the first time) due to wildfires and TFR's en route. For some odd reason they don't want bugsmashers trundling through the water bombers. OK, sez I, I'll just fly some patterns. The first Cessna I...

"Celebrity Pilots"

Flyers, I have the Garmin 696 which has SafeTaxi installed. The thing is that when I've landed at large airports (i.e. BWI, PHL, etc.) I can see the taxiways, but none of them have the Black-Square location designations. If I activate the curser and put the curser on the taxiway it will give...

The question: I've read on this newsgroup that the turn that Lidle's plane was making was tight (I'm very familiar with this...

My company has an immediate need to fill aircraft mechanic positions in various cities in Maryland, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Florida. These jobs are mostly contract work with some temp-to-perm opportunities. Contract jobs pay competitive wages with very generous per diem.

Hello, I once heard about a book which is written for non-pilot-rated passengers giving some basics about flying and navigation so that he/she has some basic understanding. Does anybody know the title of that book? Thanks, Phil

Hello, Can anyone tell me the name of an aviation book titled something like "Wild Blue Yonder"? It is a compilation of chapters from other flying books. There's a chapter by Roald Dahl during WWII, a great story about a Viet Nam fac, one about a guy parachuting through a thunderstorm, etc. A...
