I haven't figured out why TFR's exist. How are they supposed to protect the President and/or whatever else? Does the Secret Service and the FAA really think that just having a "no flight activity" within an imaginary circle sixty miles across will really stop a determined assailant? Besides,...

A liberal response to what I've read... There's no denying what you experienced. If you were thrilled by something, then that's what happened - whether it was planned or came from a surprise. Whether it was appropriate OR how you handled it is a question for debate. I've really learned something...

Can anyone explain why runway lengths are sometimes "X thousand and ONE feet" in length? I was just looking through a list of Iowa's approximately 110 airports and 7 of them have runways that are "X thousand and one feet" long. Do runway manufacturing companies offer special deals like "Buy...

I'm curious as to the overhaul policies at flight schools or rental outfits. Do they typically do an overhaul at TBO? Our school supposedly had one that had 5,000 hours, though it had been topped. Not sure if this was the one that crashed.

Sorry if this is a repost - I just changed news accounts and it may have shown up in the old one as well... Going to NY in a few weeks. What is the most convenient GA airport to land and take public transportation into midtown? Thanks, Michael

The curse works like a charm... the Cubs were beautifully defeated. This pilot is happy.

Hi, Just a quick report back about only 5 Blue Angels at Fleet Week and the resumption of shows by the Thunderbirds after Solo 6 ejected. Blue Angels: I was at the Salinas Airshow yesterday. I heard an announcer mention that one of the performances was dedicated to a member of the Blue Angels...

I would love to come and visit sometime, but I doubt if I'll be flying in...not in my plane anyway! Bit far. (based at Bourne Park, Hampshire - UK) You still coming to the States this year, Paul? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com

I've spent a fair number of hours droning along at 10,500 feet in the MidWest. (For you mountain-flyer-types that think 10.5 K is LOW, that altitude is a lot different here in Iowa, cuz it puts you almost two miles above Mother Earth.) It's usually quite boring, and is something I normally do...

I decided to get our local FSDO's take on the flight compensation issue since so many of these things vary in interpretation from district to district. I spoke with someone who said, in response to some of the points kicked around in the Cost sharing - reimbursement - flight for hire mess...

I'm a low time pilot (77 hours). In the interest of expanding my comfort zone and accumulating the cross-country hours required for an instrument rating, I decided that instead of boring holes in the same sky every flight that I woud try to go at least 50 miles away when possible. Yesterday, I...
