Mary and I just returned from a wonderful weekend at the Cherokee Pilots Association national fly-in, held annually in Osage Beach, Missouri, at the Tan-Tar-A resort. We had a wonderful time, catching up with old friends, and making new ones. We bought some cool stuff from the vendors, gave away...

I've just received a "past due" invoice for the purchase of 250 gallons of Jet A from an FBO a thousand miles away on 20 May. The invoice includes my name and address and the N-number of my airplane. The trouble is: I'm not a jet pilot; haven't been to that city in thirty years; the airplane with...

From elsewhere to someone else from someone who was there... =============== George: The next time you bring something over from the CPA, bring THE WHOLE THING, please. Had you bothered to wait a little bit, you would have found that you were reading Jay's opinion, not a real news story.

I've lost my long time headset. (I know. No recriminations, please.) I'm interested in recommendations for low end headsets (read "cheap"). Almost all of my flights are puddlejumps here on Gulf coast, mainly sightseeing jaunts of under an hour. Day long comfort is not a requirement. What...

I was out at KEUL (yes, it is a cool airport!) this morning assembling some hardware in my friend's hangar, and it was nice to see all the GA activity. Quite a few departures and arrivals of various certified and experimental planes, plus an impromptu flyby down the runway at 500AGL by a pair of...

As promised: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/biplane_formation_flight.htm It really was the flight of a lifetime. As I was sitting in that cockpit, leather helmet on, scarf streaming in the wind, perfectly comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt on a lovely July evening, I realized that heaven could...

I searched the archives & did not see any recent posts on this. I just upgraded my cell phone to a new one, Sprint Service, that comes with some type of web access. It has some canned weather sites that provide simple weather for non-pilots, but am interested in a web site that will (1) fit well,...

I had thought a chandelle was really half a loop followed by a half roll to get right side up, but most describe it as a climbing turn (almost like a wing over?). It was a long time ago, but I seem to remember being in an Aerobat and started a loop by diving and getting to maybe 140 kts before the...

My wife and I were out for some lobster lunch on the third. We were flying into an area where a friend had an accident a year or two back, but it wasn't something we considered at all. I'd been to CQX before. But I'd never noticed a hump in the runway (or don't recall noticing it). Over the...
