Flying back from Amsterdam to DFW on friday with KLM, I saw that we headed north for Denmark, then turning west, passed to the north of Iceland. Then crossing the southern half of Greenland and into Canada, we proceeded across the Hudson Bay, and passed West of ALL the Great Lakes, and then on...

Now that we have lost LORAN and are scheduled to lose most other ground based navigation aids, I wonder what the thoughts are now that the unthinkable happened this past week. Two large communications? satellites collided at very high speed creating a debris cloud about 200 X 300 miles and...

Lets look at what we have here. Currently we have the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS or GPS). Most of us are now familiar with this technology. But are you aware of WAAS (wide area augmentation system)? This is a system on the satellite that makes corrections so that the data is more...

gatts post on the dive spped of a trimmed power off aircraft seems to have vanished off my free agent. I experimented in the Tailwind on sunday to see what occurs on power off. now mind you the Tailwind isnt the usual FAR23 aircraft. It has no dihedral, neutral stability and not much inertia. it...

Just a warning to those who like to go on expensive hamburger rides to Fulton, NY (FZY), Caroline's on Airport Diner has closed. This Tragic Food Restriction occurred a month ago. I stopped there yesterday, and left hungry. James.

For me, the up front and ongoing costs of an XM weather equipped handheld GPS put it on the wrong side of the value curve. I simply don't do enough long X/C's to justify (ok, to rationalize) spending that kind of money. But, if I could rent one for $50/day or $200/wk, that might make sense for...

In reading the following account of a pilot's TFR bust near Washington, it struck me as concerning that briefings cannot be obtained under the Freedom of Information Act now that FSS has been privatized. Has anyone else run into this issue? http://www.x-plane.com/adventures/tfr.html Reading...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KLjUAFPcJk I made another quick vid... no landing cuz I'm a clutz and I erased it. But a bit more of the scenery out the window.

Bill Fox, former Skunkworks project coordinator, renowned member of the Roadrunners Internationale (see http://roadrunnersinternationale.com/), former head of the notorious Area 51, and all-around great guy put on a wonderful show for us last night, at the Alexis Park Inn & Suites in Iowa City. 25...

Keep it up, guys. I'm an old,old pilot who lost his medical to senility, but I still live and breath flying. And you kinda keep me up on what's new. I could talk flying for hours, but I bore the hell out of others. So I'll just enjoy the conversations here, and add my long ago experiences when I...

Since when did http://www.100dollarhamburger.com/ start charging a year fee ?

Any recommendations for flying into Hyannis (KHYA)? It's in my plans for next week. I have to admit: I'm a little worried about it. I saw on the Jepp plate that one must contact airport ops, before shutdown, for an escort. That doesn't sound friendly. Thanks... Andrew

A pilot friend and I are thinking about flying my single into Dulles to spend a day at the Udvar-Hazy Center. Anyone here know if small planes can still taxi directly to that facility after landing? If so, are there are any landing fees incurred? Does anyone have any unusual "tips" about flying...

In spite of all of my pontificating about being gentle on initial rides, I think that the lady in the video will start taking lessons. The instructor is great. Go to www.usatoday.com/feedroom and click on the Pitts video. Bob Gardner

Amazing how fast fire fighting TFRs can pop up. Two just today and both are either on or close enough to airways to make low-level flights north from Phoenix a little problematical. One is just SE of Prescott and the other is just S of Sedona. I'm going to Page, AZ tomorrow and I'm lookin' at...
