.... had a front row seat (actully it was an exit row window seat...) for a compressor stall on an America West Airbus while departing Detroit enroute home to Phoenix. Just after liftoff we heard/felt a moderate "bang" and I glimsed some flame out the back of the left engine just about the time...

I am considering the my-cast service. Those of you that use it--what are the pros and cons? Is it reasonable to use it enroute or is it strictly a ground based tool? Thanks for any relevant input. Sierra Man

As usual, that's the question I'm hearing from relatives. Also as usual, I have no friggin' clue what to tell them -- I need nothing. Therefore, it's time to open the topic up to the opinions of this newsgroup. What do *you* want for Xmas this year? What's the latest, greatest, coolest,...

I agree that is incredible...

Just read a transcript of presentation giving by Capt. Al Haynes on "The Crash of United Flight 232". He tells how he and the crew were able to "land" 232. It was a motivation speech on how he and the crew were able to save 184 lives. The first thing to strike me was "How did he do that?" The...

Friends: You may have seen my earlier post about the issue with my AME's office screwing up my student certificate. Well, he straightened it out, and now I can't fly. Rather than editorialize, I will just lay out the chronology and let you make your own judgments. It starts in 1965, believe it...

The Ground School is starting in March and I'm ginning up the flyer to post hither and yon to get the class filled. I've got some really bad clipart from the old DOS days of single engine propeller style aircraft. Does anybody have a pointer to some decent current clipart? Jim

I am looking at something not as expensive as Flight Explorer Pro, able to track both general aviation tail numbers and airline flights. Ideally, this will run 24 hours on a standalone computer, and if possible, will allow different simultaneous log-ons. Any recommendations are...
