I would like to find a copy of a 20 minute short about the Apollo moon project. I have seen it several times, but only on TV in my hotel room in Budapest.

A friend of mine is going to let his medical lapse and then fly his PA-11 under the sport pilot rules. From what both he and I have researched there is no certifcate issued from the FAA that says you are a sport pilot. What does a person have to carry when operating under sport pilot rules, just...
