Does anyone know of a sight that offers flight planning for Canada similar to the airnav.com sight? I have to ferry a 206 from Anchorage to Arizona in a couple of weeks and find airnav handy for initial planning. Thanks in advance. -- Dale L. Falk

I'd like to hear anyone's experience with one of the headsets like the Lighspeed L1 or Mach 1, or the Clarity Aloft headset. I really like the idea of them, if they work. Besides the obvious questions of noise attenuation, comfort and sound quality, I'd like to know if they interfere with glasses...

I'm planing to go this summer to the aviation photographer's paradise. However, my internet search produced too little information. Now, for those of you who have seen pictures or have been there, how's that hotel on Maho Beach called and what's the typical cost of a single bed room per day in...

Why not share our air pictures with people who dream of flying? I've created a free and open gallery aiming at this. http://www.airpictures.net I hope you'll want to visit it and add some of your pictures. (They will remain yours and you'll have features to protectthem against illegal copying.)

What is the difference between a DC9-50 and a DC9-51? Also, I found a photo online of a DC9-51 (Swissair) that is described as the "prototype DC9-51"? The prototype of that model for Swissair? Or is it THE prototype of all DC9-51's?

Please? Jim

Somewhere on rec.aviation.*, I thought I heard about an idea to create a patch so we could recognize each other at Oshkosh and other venues. It so happens that I have an unused patch for: "Air USENET" and "Global Hangar Flying". So, I scanned it in and shipped a 3Mb file to Jay Honeck for...

I'm looking for a PDA program that will do wifi to allow duats flight plans to be filed where there is a wireless hotspot like an FBO. Probably would work thru DUATs. Should be heavily template driven so that I only have to fill in a few things. Bill Hale

The numbers look too large for the aircraft and cross into the red stripes -- never seen this on an aircraft. Note that military and law enforcement helicopters may not have FAA numbers. Jerry in NC "David Stiles" wrote in...

I live in a relatively quiet city, until recently. A flight school opened up across the bay from me, and all day long, all I can hear outside are these private plane motor noises. It is really awful. It is like having a gas powered lawn mover above me all day long. As one plane leaves, another one...
