Last week I stopped into the shop to see how the annual on our Archer was progressing. While I was in the hangar, the FBO's Navajo pulled up outside and shut down. Everyone dropped what they were doing and rushed outside to see it. Turns out it had just been flown back from Allentown on a...

Norman Jackson's Victoria Cross is to be auctioned in London. He received his VC for attempting to put out an engine fire in a Lancaster bomber at 22,000' over Germany. Amazing...

While I can find certificate totals on the FAA website, where would I look to find the percentage of pilots who have their instrument rating? Thanks in advance! -- -- =----- Good Flights! Cecil

Claims to be a former Blue Angels ship. Current bid at a little over a million dollars. They also claim that for 9 million, they'll re-assemble it, paint it, and render it airworthy. Has an N-number. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3078059896&category=4672 Additional story on...

Don't count G.A. out just yet. As part of our "Ultimate Valentine's Day" package, we included a 30 minute sunset airplane ride over the city. Somewhat to my surprise, it proved to be quite popular. In fact, we had some difficulty scheduling them all around sunset! And at least half of the...

Reading Rich Bach's book, "THE GIFT OF WINGS". I had been skydiving for eight years and was tired of just going up and down. I was 26, single, had the time, had the money, so I did it.

Seems that a sheriff's helicopter pilot didn't get the word, and didn't have the right sqwalk or something. Here's the article: http://www.sptimes.com/2004/02/17/Pasco/County_copter_sets_of.shtml What I find interesting is the quote from an FAA spokesman: ' "We make every effort to educate...

In small high wing planes (Ie 172, 152, 150) do you do/teach pulling throttle all the back to idel? I've been told bring it to 1500 RPM, 1 notch of flaps. Not as hard on the engine

Question: Is there a conversion to two yokes for the old Bonanza throw-over control yoke configuration? (Just curious....nothing contemplated as yet.) Thx in advance. VL

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a website of something that has any material or information relating to seniority in the aviation industry and its importance. I'm doing a research assignment and need some resources. Thanks

I spent 3 months in the 'Delta" which inluded providing CAS to the Navy operations in the Mekong in 1967. Met and worked with Seal teams and other Navy operations. This sounds like a true account from what I saw and heard. I wonder if he really flies his (wifes) bird or just rides and...

How do you feel when you fly the plane? I am NOT Pilot... -Abhi.

Don't know if you know about this, but the petition to keep Concorde flying is going to change. The emphasis is now going to be on keeping one airworthy to be used at airshows, etc. If you want to sign the petition (anyone that signed the old one will automatically be carried over to the new one)...

The next time one of these meatheads criticizes a politician for ignorance about basic geography, remember this article: Border Shut Near Detroit; Explosives Found

Whats the conversion off hand to convert? Our airplanes have MPH on the AS gauge, and our checklists have kts (ie Best Glide, 65kts)

We're going to spend a few days in Las Vegas and have reserved a C-172 for a few hours for some aerial sightseeing. After we get checked out to fly by the FBO, any suggestions on what/where we should go? Any ideas, tips, suggestions, concerns? We are thinking about flying over Hoover Dam...

I'm getting tired of my 182 - maybe this is the way to go.... http://makeashorterlink.com/?Y12F52C67
