Hi all, I'm a Dutch pilot(PPL SEP) going to Kalamazoo MI for business. While I'm over there I think about doing some sight seeing by plane, with an instructor of course. Can anybody recommend FBO's in that area? I like small/regional airfields best, nothing that sounds like 'blahblah...

PBIA constructed a huge new taxiway right next to their small GA runway. Airport management expresses continual surprise when airplanes land on the taxiway after mistaking it for the GA runway. After trying several other fixes, they are now painting much of the taxiway green as camouflage to...

In preparing for the CFI I was surprised to learn that many CFIs have never done a spin. I wondered how this could be, until I carefully reviewed the Section 61.105-107 There's no *requirement* to actually spin -- only that the applicant exhibits knowledge of "(11) Stall awareness, spin entry,...

I have a nice (U) video of the first Raptors over Norfolk. If someone can tell me how to put it up on a web site, I'll be happy to make it publicly available.

Say, Jay, I was visiting my sister-in-law in CA last weekend and wanted to show a friend of hers our listing in the RAP bio pages on your website. I couldn't find a link anywhere to the pages. Are the pages still there? Where is a link to them on the website? Just curious. Those pages are...

Any recommendations for flying into Hyannis (KHYA)? It's in my plans for next week. I have to admit: I'm a little worried about it. I saw on the Jepp plate that one must contact airport ops, before shutdown, for an escort. That doesn't sound friendly. Thanks... Andrew

Charlie's inane ramblings are now viewable on the CNN.com website. This guy is truly stupid. He says when he watched the second plane hit the tower "he had a feeling" that it just didn't look like any commercial jet he had ever seen. He also said it looked like a controlled demolition. In...

Does anyone know of a list of FBO's that offer fuel discounts for Angel Flights?

Hi can anyone tell me how heavily the Bermuda flight gets in November via JFK Regards Frank

Anybody have any feedback on the Garmin 96C or 96? Thanks, John Bell www.cockpitgps.com

Making a first time visit to Florida for a business conference and always give myself an extra day to do some local flying with an instructor. Any recommendations for an airport and FBO around Tampa? I'll have to get there by cab. Thanks! Robert LWM

Another cool RV-4 has been added to the Rec.Aviation Rogue's Gallery! See Jim Fleischman's fabulous paint job at http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm (You've got to navigate your way to the "F's" to see it...) He's even got working "bomb shackles" on the wings, for dropping flour...

I thought I had no problems with distractions. After all, I'm a highly trained and experienced pilot. But today I was taking some friends out flying, and just as we were leaving the class C airspace I noticed a bit of a strange noise - and I looked over and realized the door wasn't closed. I...

I am considering KLN-90B as replacement for my M-3 Approach. Question for experienced KLN-90B users: Legality aside, can you operate KLN-90B in approach mode (doing GPS approaches) with an outdated database? Thanks in advance, Robin Hou

http://www.azfamily.com/news/local/Plane-crashes-into-building-at-Deer-Valley-Airport-99934759.html?hpt=T2 This sort of thing does nothing to enhance the reputation of general aviation in the eyes of the public.

I am very interested in learning to fly in a cirrus. This will be my second time working on getting my PPL. I was 14 when I took my first flying lessons,I'm 43 now, I ended up with 14 hours. Does any body know of any good flight schools that train in these aircraft? I found a couple, just looking...
