I have crossposted this question because I realized that those in the military area would definitely have some knowledge about this. Last night, which was a super quiet, calm and moonless night, I was out standing on the ramp when I heard the rather sharp bark of tires as a plane landed at the far...

I'm working on my private pilots certificate and until I get it, I'll be doing a lot of driving - up to eight hours on the road each weekend. I can use that time listening to what my wife calls "sports blather" on the radio or maybe use it to help me in my flight training. The text I'm using for...

The prediction now is for a much bigger eruption than originally expected. I would strongly discourage sightseeing trips in the area. One of the things that really bothers me is the crowds of people that have come to see the mountain. They are sitting in the middle of literally miles of downed...
