Power pack for camping? by
Paul Tomblin
I'm going to be in plane camping at Oshkosh this year, and I'm wondering
how I'm going to keep my camera batteries and iPod charged. I know from

What are Boeing's plans? by
David Lednicer
Here is an interesting question: the USAF KC-767 deal was supposed to keep
the 767 line open, but this deal is dormant. If the USAF doesn't act soon,
they won't be able to buy 767s as the line closes real soon. With this
in mind; how are they going to buy E-10s (767-400ERs) if the line is closed?

Our local airport, University Airport (KEDU) at Davis, California, was
going to be closed 5 years ago. Local pilots formed a group--Friends

airport to the...
