My apologies, but someone asked me if I was still working on the G-III and I can't find the post. "I think it was here on RAP. I'm getting back to it. I've done little in the last year due to my inconvenience last April. However I'm feeling good, getting my strength back and even did some...

Wall Street Journal today ran an article on the Boeing Large Cargo Freighter, the "Dreamlifter." It is one ugly plane. A CFI and student in a Skyhawk were darn near killed in November when they flew through the monster's wake turbulence. They were flipped over and lost 1000 feet of altitude and...

The glider clubs I've talked to find out I'm an A&P and want me to maintain their aircraft, something I'm not...
