I agree with you whole-heartedly Jay. When I get together with my pilot
friends, we can literally talk for hours about flying because we're all
certified nuts. I keep telling them about rec.aviation but none of them have
ventured into the groups yet. Whenever I get asked "Where did you learn
about that??" I surprise myself when often the answer is "from the
newsgroups!"

About that show, I made a mistake. It's call "History Takes Flight" and it's
on Discovery Wings. Do you get Wings? The next scheduled airtimes are Nov
26, 6PM ET, Nov 27, 2AM, and Nov 27, 10AM. They also have a clip of an Old
Rhinebeck biplane's tail camera view during a real (as in NOT simulated)
engine-out crash right after take-off. The guy walked away.

I'll try to tape it if you won't be able to yourself. If I remember that is.

Dang -- I would love to see that. Was it on "regular" Discovery, or
"Discovery Wings"? Do you know if it will be re-broadcast?

We, as pilots, are more connected than ever before, thanks to Usenet and
the
internet. I always feel somewhat sad for the many pilots I know who have
NEVER ventured onto the aviation newsgroups, and have missed out on such a
huge part of the aviation world.

Where else but here can we meet so many pilots, from all over the world,
who
share our passion and love of aviation?
