A friend of mine told me he was following this news story where 2 men were flying in a 152 somewhere in Texas. While making a turn to the right, the passenger fell out of the plane. This was a few days ago and my friend hasn't heard any updates. Anyone here know about this and heard anything...

So much for proper distance between the display line and the audience during an airshow ! Huh? Even during the accident sequence, the distance was maintained. The guy went on to fly for Team America for a few seasons. -John *You are nothing until you have flown a Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman...

Hi, I happen to be in Los Angeles, CA, on business, and I was wondering if someone could tell me if there is a pilot shop and/or aricraft parts shop where I could walk and buy stuff. In particular I am looking for tyres for Piper Cherokee. But then while browsing I could find something else to...

While some may argue that NASA is overly optimistic at times, they nonetheless do provide some valuable research - even if the value isn't always apparent in every project they undertake. I was recently invited to provide my opinion on a new GA-targeted cockpit display system and I must say that...

I don't remember going into a field shorter than 2500 feet in my M20J, so don't really have actual short field experience. Like lots of Mooney jocks though, I plan my touchdown maybe 1000 feet or so before whatever taxiway I'm planning on using, and don't often have to use brakes to make the turn. ...

When I bought my current (and first) headset two years ago I bought a pair of replacement gel ear seals, then got used to the foam seals and forgot about the gel seals until I found them in a box last week. I decided to swap the foam ones for the gel seals, and first flew with them on Saturday -...

Does anyone here know if Canada's class C is equivalent to the USA's class B? A Canadian has told me this is so and that the USA does not follow ICAO convention. Is this true? Clyde Torres
