Liberals Ignore The Wright Brothers by
Andrew Gideon
Liberals HATE America wrote:
Alas, Orville and Wilbur Wright are today pigeon-holed as "dead white
males" whom we are supposed to ignore, if not deplore.
The author is sadly misinformed. I couldn't care less about "white" or
"male". However, "dead" is a Bad Thing. I certainly expend a...

Bertie's Supporters and Sockpuppets - Vol 6 by
Englebert
Interesting, in the past week Bertie the Buttlipp has posted 20% of the
message on this group.
85% of those messages were cross posted to kook group, apparently soliciting
noise.
72% were nothing but insults, attempts to stimulate an argument.
43% were off topic conversations with the troll...

Headset Misfortunes by
Kyle Boatright
We've had a string of headset misfortunes.
First, my Lightspeeds started acting up (some sort of ANR problem - more of
an annoyance than anything), so they went back to Lightspeed for a fix.
When they came back, the ANR was working, but the headset volume was so low
the headsets were not...

OT a bit - fly to the moon or Mars? by
ManhattanMan
Why?
The first race to the moon, and that's exactly what it was, got us braggin
rights, a few hundred pounds of rocks, some great technology for terrestrial
applications (that probably could have evolved anyway), and??
I'm old enough to have watched it all on the boob tube as an adult, and was...

The Seven Levels of Aviation (not for the humor-impaired) by
C J Campbell
The Seven Levels of Aviation (Satire) (and with apologies to Ken Rockwell,
the Seven Levels of Photographers)
Master: Level 7 (the highest level)
The Master has a Vision in a tangible form called Flying. He and the aircraft
are one. The Master is the aircraft and the aircraft is the Master. The...

Flyboys Movie: the aircraft by

to four - full-scale Nieuport 17 replicas. Robert...

PIREP: AirMap 1000 (Long) by
Mike 'Flyin'8'
As mentioned in an earlier thread, I would provide a PIREP with my
initial thought on my new addition.
1- "Wow, that is a big box." The company I purchased the unit from
packaged it exceptionally well. The box was larger than I was
expecting. This was due to the peanuts in the box.
2 - "What...

Student night solo? by
Peter MacPherson
I'm a CFI and was curious how many CFI's sign their students off for
flying solo at night. I personally don't feel comfortable doing it.
Thanks,

Recording your flight time by
Jay Honeck
With built-in flight timers becoming the norm in virtually all new avionics
(heck, even the new transponder I'm getting has one), just wondering if
folks are migrating away from using hobbs/tach time to record their flight
time?
And if you *are* using the flight timer, have you stopped using the...

Overweight takeoff / flight by
Koopas Ly
Howdy again,
After reading NTSB reports that attribute the cause of the accident to
exceeding the airplane's maximum takeoff weight, I began wondering
about the effects of an overweight takeoff within C.G. limits.
Specifically, what would I have to do differently when flying an
airplane that's...

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...

CFI practical test - aircraft required by
kontiki
I am sure this subject has been brought up before (why? because the
answer is not immediately obvious in the FARs) but I'd appreciate
some input from the knowledge base.
I'm close to scheduling my CFI checkride (practical teat to be precise)
and although I've always assumed it had to be performed...

I lost my medical, what do I do? by
buttman
I'm a CFI with a first class medical issued 6/15/05. I began taking a
banned medication (celexa) about a week ago. I have not flown since I
started the drugs, and I don't plan on returning until the medication
stops (the doc said that may not be for another 6-12 months). When I
"get back" will my...

Blue Angels Question(s) by
three-eight-hotel
Our family went to the airshow in northern California last weekend. It
was a blast, to say the least. It blows me away to think about the
things people can do with planes and that they can have the
where-with-all to pull off some of the manuvers they do, and under the
G's they are pulling at...
