Could someone fill me in on the Aerostar fuel system? The one in question is a 602P. IIRC, Ted Smith designed it as a "Leave it alone and burn all the fuel in the airplane" type system. But wasn't there a lawsuit over one years ago? Al G

I just decided to go back to Free Agent after a too-long absence and, alas, Forte has discontinued it to focus on their money-generating options. I looked at X News which sounds great, I was just wondering what ya'll use and like (BESIDES Google, thanks) before plunging into a download. OH - I...

The Cessna 150 prototype first flew on September 12, 1957 (source:wikipedia). With so many pilots having had thier training in a C150 or 152, I think it's fair to remark on the fact that the 150 turns 50 Years young today. Will it still be flying in another 50?

I've read several reports online re the Air France crash at Toronto that there were thunderstorms in the vicinity (one account said "right over the airport") If so I'm curious why the captain didn't divert or hold away from the storm until it passed (fuel status?). If there was a storm nearby that...

Wow, amazing, huge, inspiring, impressive, and a must see for any aviation enthusiast. The list of planes on display is unreal. F22 Raptor, B1, B2, B52, B36, huge array of the F100 series fighters, B29, B17.... the WWII display is great, not only does it cover the US fighters but it includes many...
