"bush flying" in the suburbs? by [email protected]
Among other aircraft I've been looking at the Zenith Air STOL CH 801 lately, which attracted my attention purely as an inexpensive and eaily built plane to cart my family around. http://www.zenithair.com But the advertised 390-ft fully-loaded ground roll got me fantasizing about all the...

Presidential TFR @ Kill Devil Hills by Richard Russell
Does anyone else find it ironic that the President's very presence at the celebration of 100 years of powered flight has shut down almost 2,000 square miles of airspace? Couldn't he have phoned it in? Rich Russell

General Aviation Dead? by Quaalude
"I look with sadness on the Cessna with bees nests in its air vents, or the Mooney sitting on its rims with critters running in and out of it, and the Cessna 150, faded and gutted like a fish. I ask myself, how did it get to this? How could someone let their plane ´die¡ this...

How do you find the limits of areas on a chart? by Mxsmanic
I see tons of restricted areas, MOAs, Class B, C, D, E airspace, and the like on charts, but no clear indication of how to locate the boundaries of these areas other than by pure guesstimate based on looking at the chart. On rare occasions I see a radial noted as the boundary of an area, or a...

Wingtip Vortex: Heavy, Clean, Slow - Why? by Eric Nospam
You get the strongest wingtip vortices when an aircraft is flying heavy, clean and slow. But why? It has to do with the amount of lift being generated by the wing. HEAVY I can understand. Heavier aircraft - you need more lift to keep it aloft. But CLEAN? SLOW? Why do you get less vortex with...

Common instruments on small aircraft by Mxsmanic
Are small GA aircraft often equipped with things like autopilots, GPS units, and EHSI displays? What about a radar altimeter? The Baron I fly in simulation is equipped with these (as is the A36), but fancy instruments are free in simulation, so I'm wondering how likely one is to have them in real...

Is BOB HOOVER still alive???? by aviation buff
....and if so,, what is he doing these days to keep busy. hi all, I just tuned in the History Channel and there he was, for brief moment. Amazing, that in the 30 years I've followed his stunt flying with Rockwell, he hasn't aged one bit--he looked 80ish in the 1970's and he
