The price of gas by
C J Campbell
So oil is now over $40/barrel and this is being blamed for the fact that gas
is now over $2/gallon and avgas is well over $3/gallon.
As one news report put it, oil is the most expensive it has been since the

oil was pushing...

MoGas users: Ethanol replacing MTBE by
John
To those who fly with STCs for motor fuel instead of avgas, is the

MTBE outright (some individual states have) but will not protect oil
companies from MTBE lawsuits so MTBE is being phased out by next week in
most places. MTBE...

Piper Pathfinder Article by
john smith
The April 2004 PLANE&PILOT has a review of the 1974 Piper Pathfinder.
A table at the end of the article compares the 74 Pathfinder to the 74
Skylane.
I don't think Jay is going to be flying over Pike's Peak (14,110 feet)
unless he gets a Cessna. :-)

40 years ago today I was ferrying a F-89J from the Maine Air Guard at

out of Oklahoma City, my next refueling stop, when ATC came up on
frequency and announced...

C172 and Spins by
Dan[_10_]
Anyone else have expereince with the C172E (1964)?
No matter what I did I could not get that bird to spin to the right.
Left spins take some work, and power helps (of course).
But right it just wallows and then steep spirals.

Clouds and Class B by
Mxsmanic
You've been cleared into Class B VFR, and you've been assigned a heading.
After a while you see that your heading will take you through some clouds, and
you asked to be cleared on a different heading, 40 degrees to the right. ATC
says unable and gives a plausible reason why. What do you do?

Really gives some perspective on the visibility, or lack thereof, that both
pilots must have experienced.
