Now here's a ride most of us would enjoy. http://www.wimp.com/breathtakingfootage/ That is a flight I'd pay dearly to take.

What is that -- and does it matter to GA avionics? Heard it referenced a few times in the sale of an older GIII. But Google does not turn up much. T

I'm planning on taking my 4 & 6 year olds to their first Oshkosh. However, I don't think they'll have the stamina or patience to make the trip from my Central NJ location into OSH in one day. Probably would be best to fly a few hours and then do some kid-friendly activity for the rest of the...

Hey, all, I'm having a problem. Before the winter weather grounded me for a couple of months, I was nailing Pylon 8s (for the commercial test) almost from the moment they were demonstrated to me. Now I've got everything else down, but the easiest *$@#^&! manuever of them all for me is suddenly...

Hi, I work for a company that will have a fleet with 430/530 stacks integrated, and we will be flying some very specialized missions with them. I have some specific questions regarding datacards, route planning, nav points and data sharing. If you can help me, please reply to this and I'll...

I am a memorabilia collector looking for an old Crouse Hinds DCB-10 airport beacon. I anyone knows where I can find one, please contact me off-list.

How does rated thrust for a jet engine translate to actual power? I guess my question is, for example, a Cessna Mustang has two engines that produce 1,460 lbs of thrust each (x 2) so the total is 2920 lbs of thrust for the two engines. The takeoff weight for the Mustang is listed as 8,645 lbs....

I just received a very nice video contribution to our aviation video webpage entitled "10 miles in 3.5 seconds," which shows Scott Crossfield's first flight in the X-15 rocket plane. Enjoy it at: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/Videos/2006-4-26_Scott-Crossfield_X-15.wmv What an...

Imagine my surprise when I learned today that Embraer, the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer, built a licensed version of the Piper Cherokee Pathfinder, just like ours, until 1979! See pix he http://makeashorterlink.com/?Q64323A4C The original link is:

wots the go over there in the States? ie any aircraft restrictions, instruments?, max pax? - etc. http://www.taic.org.nz/aviation/03-004.pdf (1.7Mb) and: what do you have over there for monitoring IFR, and in particular, ILS

.... making us all look bad, and giving the politicians ammunition: http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Southwest/07/10/pilot.dui/index.html Plane clips van in emergency freeway landing No one injured; pilot charged with flying while intoxicated

Why are both of these airports closed due to military ops? http://www.fly.faa.gov/flyfaa/nemap.jsp Seems a little odd.

Well after 150hrs and preparing to start my Insrument, Commerical, & CFI I figured it is time for my first VFR cross country that requires an actual fuel stop. Flight will take place the last weekend in August (assuming weather cooperates) My dad lives in Redmond, OR, so I thought, what a better...

Can anyone verify this? (from NORDO NEWS) WHAT DOES JET FUEL HAVE TO DO WITH FLYING A CHAMP? * Why should you be concerned about the recent addition of a highway tax on jet fuel?** Well, the authorities believe highway operators are buying jet fuel because it is cheaper than diesel (no hwy tax)...

I am very interested in learning to fly in a cirrus. This will be my second time working on getting my PPL. I was 14 when I took my first flying lessons,I'm 43 now, I ended up with 14 hours. Does any body know of any good flight schools that train in these aircraft? I found a couple, just looking...

I see two angles coming on this one.... Damn environmentalists.... 1. Non-native species invades local eco-system, creates trouble for local wildlife. 2. Rare species found now requires protection, close the airfield and 1000 acres of former public land now bird sanctuary.

Today I learned a lesson about practicing IFR flight. I was practicing with another member of our flying club who is a private pilot, but not instrument rated, coming back from Rogers, AR to Fort Smith after a pancake breakfast fly-in. Fort Smith was landing 7. My safety pilot wanted to fly just...

With all the ups and downs on this newsgroup regarding LightSpeed headsets, the question arose about their financial situation. In short, someone wondered how they could afford to continually fix their faulty early product line and remain financially viable. This from today's AvWeb: LIGHTSPEED...
