1942 DC-3 / C-47 on eBay by Michael 182
For about 25% of the cost of a new Skylane or Cirrus you can have a 1942 C-47 that saw combat in WWII. Of course, the maintenance and fuel prices might be a little steep - not to mention finding a hanger big enough to hold the plane. Still, wouldn't it be cool to land at some out of the way...

What are cowl flaps? by Mxsmanic
What are cowl flaps for, and how are they used? The name implies that they are some sort of aerodynamic control surface, but they don't appear to have any aerodynamic effects. In simulation, they are doors on the bottom of the engine nacelles that open for some unclear purpose (I see what looks...

Airliner crew flies 150 miles past airport by Richard[_11_]
Been a busy day today. Wonder what a heated airline policy discussion looks like that could end up missing calls from ATC and spend 150 miles off course...? Perhaps they were really just busy texting.... http://www.cnn.com/2009/TRAVEL/10/22/airliner.fly.by/index.html?iref=mpstoryview

Helicopter Question by Jay Honeck
As we were flying over to Newton, IA today, we started discussing icing and snow -- something that we must constantly worry about in these parts for at least the next 4 months. As we were talking, we heard a "Flight for Life" 'copter on Unicom, which got us to wondering how it is that these guys...
