an interesting in flight experiment by
a[_3_]
Next time you're at altitude and in cruise mode, switch from 'both' to
a single bank of spark plugs. It will remind you what happens should
you have one side decide to go in/op when in flight. I had the engine
(IO 360) go rough a couple of weeks ago, but rough was a lot better
than the very smooth...

alcoholic beverages.
This will explain everything.

in water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have
demonstrated that if...

An Olive Branch by
Jay Honeck
Now that it appears that George Bush has been re-elected with a true
majority of the popular vote (the first president to do so in 16 years), let
me be the first to extend an olive branch to those here who may be

An Open Apology to R.A.P. by
Casey Wilson
I sat in the shadows for a long time attempting to ignore the resident
troll, hoping against all odds that he would go away. When I could no longer
restrain myself, I started feeding the troll against my better judgement.
It is apparent that I have done nothing constructive in that regard...

opening for an affordable air taxi service? What percentage of people
who ride the bus would rather use an air taxi, if it were reasonably
priced?

An uncomfy Q for the aviators here by
Ramapriya
You're the First Officer. You notice the Cap'n deviating on something
from the airline's SOP, and it's more important than something like the
taxi speed limit. What do you do?
a) Hope the Cap'n recognizes the deviation on his own;
b) Just pretend you didn't notice it;
c) Get the Cap'n a coffee and...

an unexpected result by

Who would have thought Maxi in its (pronoun intended) various

the goal of the 'I have to type the last word' nutcases, but still
this is an unexpected benefit. It...
