Has anyone heard of a problem in earlier (1974) C182s where one fuel tank will draw down 3/4 before drawing from other tank when fuel selector in "Both" position? If so, any articles online? Richard

LOL! At http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-1889199-517456 you can buy one share of Boeing stock (I see their picture still has the old logo) for $150.00 (instead of the $83.22 plus fees it would cost from a broker). Probably that same site that sells old Atari Corporation...

Well, as 2 airports a month close in this country it's time to say a sad good bye to N04. It's a beautiful uncontrolled field just east of BDR and HVN. Beautiful and right by the water. Tiny field but close to a main road and a 4 minute walk to the dunkin donunts, bagels, sea food, exxon.. The...

I'm surprised no one mentioned "Strategic Air Command" starring Jimmy Stewart. The B-36 and B-47 scenes were outstanding, and the story wasn't too bad. Later Rock Hudson starred in "A Gathering of Eagles" which was likewise filled with great aviation scenes, B-52s galore, and a pretty darned...

1. "Just the facts, maam": Of the 10 busiest airports (listed airports are big commercial airports), GA contributes only 4.5% of the traffic. The Destroyer's conclusion: "So much for the airlines claim that GA is using more than its paying for." Hysterical. Beyond ludicrous. 2. AOPA opposes...

As a new pilot and new owner of a cessna 172, I've noticed the seeimingly unlimited amount of accessories available for my plane. Most seem to have one thing in common - a high price tag. I was wondering if anyone reading this thread would share information on any devices that are perhaps homemade...

I've been googling my heart out for some fuel burn numbers for the Piaggio Avanti. Could someone in the know give me even an average ballpark number in pounds per hour?

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I just saw a story on my local news (in the Pacific Northwest) about an incident at SeaTac airport on April 11th, and this is the first I've heard of it. Apparently, there was a period of about 30 minutes on that day (no mention as to what time of day)...

Let me start by saying that I consider myself a new pilot, although I've had my certificate for 2 years and a little over a 100 hours. I had to take some time off from flying when my plane was damaged by my partner, then totaled by Katrina. (I've made a few posts with regards to the above.) Anyway,...

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a shop or individual to install a Whelan strobe package on a Cessna 172G? I'm located in the Northeast in the Mid-Hudson Valley of NY State. Thanks in advance. Andy

Has anyone heard of the new Sport Pilot program? Basically, it's a brand-new pilot rule created by the FAA that lets you fly at half the cost of a traditional pilot license. No medical needed--if you can drive a car, you can fly an airplane! You can become a sport pilot with as little as 20 hours...

I'll be flying in to Houston Hobby in a few days. Any tips for a little plane driver?

Hi! I was told by my mechanic to only pull the prop handle until I could audibly hear a slight pitch change to establish that it was working. However, the aircraft manual says it should be cycled completely, and on a cold engine three times to make sure oil is applied to the governor, or...

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8370467731499403989&q=ultralight&pl=true Anyone know if this is the Whitman strip in Virginia? If so, do you know when this year's open-house will be held? Whitman strip is about an hour away from me and I'm thinking about taking the kids there...
