Any info on WC Pye Course & Speed Calculator by
Jack McAdams
My grandson gave me a beautiful Course & Speed Calculator manufactured
by W.C. Pye & Co Ltd. The mahagony box is marked as REF. No. 6B/120.
It is a MK IIA model.
It is obviously analagous to a very early E6B. My guess it is WWII
era, maybe a bit earlier.
Does anyone happen to have an instruction...

Anywhere Map or Teletype? by
John Harper
I just finally replaced my ancient Palm V with an iPAQ 1945, and while I was
there I got an HP Bluetooth GPS. Anyone have any advice on aviation

backup, a way to not spend...

[email protected]
Okay, there must be someone out there using the Lowrance Airmap 1000. What do
you think of it? Better yet if you can compare it to the Garmin 196. The
asswipes in sci.geo.sat-nav don't want to talk about it.

Best airport to land at for Vancouver by

America's Heart & Soul Movie by

I think it's pretty cool that they included Patty Wagstaff and flying to
help paint a picture of all that is good in the United States. Man, I
