I hope this is not an inappropriate question for this usenet group, if so please direct me to the correct group. So here is the question: My boyfriend interviewed today for his first regional airline postion and will be starting ground school 8/8/5 in another state. I was hoping someone out there...

Okay ... you all asked for it and I appreciate your help so much!! I'll just give you what I have so far, and you can tell me if it's right. How's that? 1- Regarding 100LL. I gather from your replies that it evaporates very quickly. But I'm talking about a major flood of it in an enclosed...

Has anyone out there ever flown IFR in uncontrolled airspace without a flight plan. I understand there are places out west that still have large tracts of uncontrolled airspace that go up to altitude (14,500 feet??). I am used to it either ending at 700 or 1200 feet AGL. Danny Deger

Evening news tonight (Friday CST) showed a Russian bird crashing at an airshow in Japan. Pilot survived. Clip was over before I could focus on it. Looked like some kind of a jet??? Voice over said he was making a low pass and clipped a pole. No injuries on ground (thank God).

Anyone know any info about an accident at La Port Texas early this week? All I know is they were doing touch and goes and something happened to cause the accident. Danny Deger

BUYER'S REMORSE This one is rather fun to watch. In case you haven't noticed, the Democrat Party is slowly figuring out that things aren't looking all that well for the November election ... at least as far as the White House is concerned. Their messiah has turned out to be somewhat of a...

I don't know if this guy's ideas would work, but it's a shame he hasn't had a chance to really try them out... http://www.airspacemag.com/issues/2008/february-march/tiny_turbines.php

Woke up this morning and just didn't want to go to work. :-) So I did the next best logical thing, I went to the airport and went flying. Picked up a friend (non-pilot) at Nashua and did some slow flight around his house so he could talk some pics. Around Mt. Monadnock in S. New Hampshire and...

From Aviation International News: Bombardier Points to Cause of Tupelo Challenger Overrun It's probable that a bent-down microphone jack receptacle near the base of the copilot's control column prevented aft movement of the yoke, causing a Challenger 600 to overrun the runway during takeoff from...

Hot air balloon ride just helps me feel free by Thad G http://www.sworde.com/htm/lists/dating-online/2-dating-online.htm This time of year a hot air balloon ride just helps me feel free instead of sending me into a family counselor talking about my cheap date ideas. i used to make dating issues,...

Is it possible to have more than a single V-LE (maximum airspeed with gear extended without damage)? I know that some airplanes have more than one V-LO (max gear operation speed), one for retraction and one for extension. Perhaps there are configurations in which there are different V-LE speeds,...

I have been using Google Earth to look at airports in my area of the world, and I have run across something that I cannot figure out myself, so I thought I would post this question here. I was looking at Burns Municipal Airport ,Oregon (KBNO) at N43 35 25.77 W118 57 18.41 and noticed that...

For those Toronto-area pilots who may have missed the 6-o'clock TV news today, Mayor Daley was in town today, "advising" Mayor Miller on how to run a waterfront. The bit was *highly* complimentary of Daley's Chicago-waterfront initiatives (complimentary by both the reporter and by Mayor Miller),...

When taking lessons with a CFI, I've often had them compliment various aspects of my performance, while also offering constructive criticism. It seems that this behavior is right out of the pages of CFI training. Here's my question. Does that make the CFI a sycophant, by the formal definition...

And I did it with only 8 hours of instruction! (I cheated a bit since I've been flying with dad my whole life!) LOL One of the guys on the framing crew told me about this website. I checked it out, and I don't know, the guy looks for real. What do you think? Let me know.

Well, maybe. IF everything holds together (weather, the hotel, the kids, the plane) we'll be departing for Reno tomorrow morning at O-dark-thirty... 1291 nautical miles of trans-continental delight, followed by the fastest motor sport in the world! Anyone else going? --
