The radio modelers have developed a useful market for gadgets. I bought a tach a while ago, and I keep meaning to mention it here. The price was right - around $25. It's intended for measuring off two or three blade props. In other words, it counts either two flashes or three as a...

I heard a bizarre interaction this evening (about 8:00, on 126.4, near White Plains, NY). The conversation went something like this: NY Approach: Proceed direct Carmel. Pilot: Carmel isn't on our route. NY: It's on the SID. I assigned you the SID. Pilot: No, Carmel's not on the SID.

I've tried to follow the "charitable airlift" discussions here over the years and it usually makes my head hurt. I was just contacted with a request to transport and I could really use some Usenet-level advice. (Yeah, I've got AOPA legal services but I get better info here.) There's a Rottweiler...

I just felt so excited of SpaceShipOne's historic flight today. Even as a normal person with blank mind of space konwledge I believe that within 15-20 years it's totally feasible for "high-end users" to travel in 4-6 seat or even more seats space shuttle in a similar launch method of SpaceShipOne...

I just returned on a flight from San Juan to Orlando and our flight level was 300, including a portion over the mainland. Since then I've been listening to my aircraft radio and routinely hear flights assigned FL320, 340, etc.. It was always 2000 feet separation with levels 290, 310, 330, 350,...

On Saturday October 8, 2005, EAA Chapter 69 is sponsoring a Young Eagles Day at Greenwood Lake Airport (4N1), West Milford, NJ, in concert with the town's Autumn Lights Festival. There are already over 100 kids signed up and we're expecting 200, so we desperately need additional EAA Young Eagle...

The NY Times web site every day highlights a historical front page article from today's date in an earlier year. Today's is from August 21, 1959, when Hawaii became the 50th state. http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/big/0821.html?dpc But, what really caught my eye is another...

I'm not sure how familiar the name "Geoff Peck" is to many of you now, but in addition to being a pilot, flight instructor and techie, he was the architect of the current rec.aviation group organization. Anyways, Geoff Peck passed away in his Piper Arrow, on the way back from OSH. A moment of...

Here in Greece we use the sectionals and the Bottlangs. Any planning prog. will show you lo/ hi routes, the only thing you will be missing is the rather complex Athens TMA routes and altitudes. _______________ G. Paleologopoulos "Peter" wrote in message

Somehow the FAA forgot to send me the last batch of sectional DVDs and by the time I finally called about it they didn't have any remaining. I was told to wait for the next batch. It's here. This batch doesn't become effective until December 25, 2003, but because the previous batch has expired,...

Dear Friends, I would like to invite you to participate in the General Aviation Survey 2007. There are many risks one can face as a pilot or passenger in the busy European skies. One of those is mid-air collision. Many factors may cause it. A major one is airspace infringement. The survey is being...

I was flying around in a '64 Aztec yesterday, and did some touch and goes, and on one downwind, dropped the gear, and did not get a right main gear down indicator light. I tried switching lightbulbs, etc. I had full hydraulics, as the flaps worked fine. I tried cycling the gear a few...

Although I'm not a pilot, I find it fun to jot down the tail numbers of airplanes I see in movies and TV shows, then look them up to see what kinds of planes they are and where they're based. (Or at least, where their owners are based. Airplanes are notoriously peripatetic. ;-)) Sometimes the...

This year's Open House highlight is a special appearance by the "Dragon," a BAC 167 Strikemaster MK 84! The extremely popular event features food vendors, a hot rod and antique car show and free plane rides for kids, ages 8-17, provided by the Young Eagles and tractors supplied by the American...

Hi, this was the best NG I could find for my question, but if there's a better one to ask this in just name it and I'll go away. I don't know much about aircrafts, but I'm trying to find a few models that fit a certain specification. All I need to know are a couple names of smaller airplanes that...
