UPDATED VERSION. Even if you read this before, you should read it again since I UPDATED it with more EXPLOSIVE DETAILS about these UNDERCOVER FBI and NSA PSYCHOPATHS. FBI PUSSIES went and INTERROGATED a 14 yr old WHITE girl pulling her from her classroom in california for posting a picture with...

Just watched the trailer for Secondhand Lions. http://www.apple.com/trailers/newline/secondhand_lions/shl_trlr_med.html The movie is showing this week at our favorite "Dollar Theater" (Ok - $2) http://riverviewtheater.com/history.cfm The rec.aviation scene is at the end of the Secondhand Lions...

When a title search is done, the company often offeres to provide a history of accidents in which the a/c was involved. Googling for 'FAA Accidents" I see what appears to be a wide range of choices. Anyone know which db contains the information showing what accidents a specific a/c may have been...

All the experts I read on this board are either for or against Synthetics or Semi Synthetics. But most seem to take as Gospel the words of a Guy (Mechanic or FBO) who makes a LOT of money from fixing your Engines. Do you think po poing a product is based on good will or business sense? I would...

Passed on from a friend of a friend.... For those needing a reason of some kind for buying an Aircraft I have read many posts on the web site from members and on MMAIL who are thinking about owning their own aircraft and looking for ways to offset the cost of ownership. I have heard many reasons...

May was an active month for the Gallery! Click on http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm to see: *- From Sacramento, CA, more pix of Jack Allison's beautiful Piper Arrow... *- From the United Kingdom, pix of Chris Blythe's French-built Wassmer 52...

I had an odd thought while flying yesterday. Traditionally, we have had CHT info on one cylinder. Now, many planes have monitors that tell us all 4 or 6 cylinders. I have been trying to keep all my cylinders under 400 as I believe most of us are doing. However, I had a thought about that...

Hello, Has anyone have first hand experience with both the Argus 5000 and Argus 5000ce. I know a lot of users have transitioned to the CE, but functionality-wise they are about the same. (minus the color, of course) My biggest issue is that I sometime deplore the contrast of my 5000 unit,...

The FAA has just issued an emergency AD that appears to ground _all_ Beech T-34 aircraft, all models, until further notice, after confirming that the Texas Air Aces T-34 that went down a few days ago suffered a wing separation. It only allows a few hours of flight under very strict restrictions to...

Well, it's final--as of last Monday, I can post to r.a.OWNing without feeling like I snuck in.... Yep, I am officially an airplane owner!! I flew (airlines) to Hartford last Sunday and finalized the sale on Monday. N2509X is the world's most beautiful aircraft--and, I will brook no argument to...

I was just reading both the land lease, and hangar keeper agreements for the now City owned Morey Airport. (C29), and they both state: "The Lessee further agrees not to transport, or cause to be transported, onto airport premises, gasoline or other flammable fluids for the purpose of self-fueling...

After weeks of unrelenting, never-ending bad weather, with freezing rain, sleet, fog, snow, high winds, low visibility, and low ceilings, I decided to have the plane annualed early. I mean, what the heck -- the weather has been horrendous anyway, right? Why screw up summer and wait till...

In article , Andrew Gideon wrote: Any suggestions as to where I might buy/order copies would be very much appreciated. esscoaircraft.com usually has that kind of thing. If you're listing all the aircraft in a club/rental fleet, you...

I was thinking about getting my A&P license to help me become a better aircraft owner and pilot. I know a number of people out there have both and I was curious to hear about your story. For example, have you found it helpful as an owner and/or pilot? Did it take a long time to obtain? What are the...

I need to get my carb rebuilt. It's a Marvel MA4-5 off an O-540. Somehow it floods to the point of not running (longer story possibly in another post). I'd like to find out why this is happening so that besides just getting an overhaul I actually know it won't flood again. I don't care if it...

Can anyone suggest a cause for a slight roughness in a well maintained O-470 (1958 C-182). The mechanic has checked both mags and harness wires and plugs, installed a rebuild carb and balanced the prop (which required very little correction). In flight checks of carb heat, mags and unlocking...

Gang: One of the wingtip strobes on our 1982 Warrior II looks like it is going bad. Half of it looks black and it only gives one blink per second while the other wing gives two blinks per second. I was perusing the Whelen catalog, and our strobe lamp assembly appears to have a pigtail terminating...

RI appears to be back pedaling fast. The state sent a letter to AOPA today saying that it was clumsy wording and the provision was never intended to apply to residents of other states. It was intended to "help" state residents by letting them buy an airplane that the kept and used out of state...

I'm wondering if anyone here owns a Bonanza A36 (or any Bo with a similar wing structure) with high airframe time (10,000 hours)? I ask because my local A&P who rebuilds a lot of wrecked airplanes knows of an A36 that had a nose gear collapse and has been collecting dust in a hangar for the...
