Well, I decided to head down to Philadelphia Thursday. My wife knows the city pretty well, so I've always counted on here for directions when we drive down. Wednesday night, I started trying to pick her brains for the best way to get there. After a half hour of futile exercise in that direction, I...

This airport has weather reporting via an AWOS. Yet its identifier is still 40N. Other airports have had their identifier changed to a 3 letter (well 4 including the K prefix) when they got weather reporting capability. So why has Chester County G O Carlson Airport remained as...

If you had bought $1000 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1000. With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Miller Lite (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the...

I just noticed an interesting airport in the CFS (Canadian A&FD). I glanced at the airport diagram for CAJ2, Eagle Plains/Wiley, Yukon Territory, and noticed that the runway was on top of a road. A glance at the CAUTION section confirmed that: CAUTION Rwy forms part of Dempster hwy (mile...

Share your tips and findings please =) If I were interested in having a full instruction schedule, I don't think it would be hard at all. The instructors I see who struggle to get students generally don't do the basics 1) Show enthusiasm. Practice smiling and glowing when you talk...

Hi everybody We are two Danes and two Austrians who have thought of flying around the Carribean for about a month in late winter/wpring 2004. Just from looking at the map we figure it should be possible to do some loop around the Caribbean Sea (Cuba - Haiti - Domenican Rep. - Puerto Rico -...

One of my power-pilot friends says the fuel additive TCP has not been available for months, waiting on some EPA ruling. It appears to be pretty nasty stuff to handle. The only indications of that I'm seeing on the internet are that Alcor has the price list supressed on their web site, and...

Unfortunately, none of the airport shops I have visited carry either of these headsets in stock. The ANRs they carry - lightspeeds,DC etc. just didn't cut it for me (for one reason or another). The lightspeeds did rather well on the ANR part but the voices sounded distant - this I really did not...

My sister runs a wild animal rehabilitation center (part of the Fund for Animals) that is a stone's throw from RNM. The fires out there are getting uncomfortably close to the rehab center. Phones are down and my sister's cell phone is on and off. The only news I can get is what is shown on CNN...

Last night I canceled a flight for a (for me) unique reason: the tower was warning departing aircraft that FBO personnel had heard several bursts of gunfire coinciding with departing flights passing over the neighborhood off rwy 14. The tower called the police but, as of late last night, no perp's...
