Talk Like A Pirate Day by
C J Campbell[_1_]
Tomorrow is Friday, September 19: International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
It is important that pilots and controllers use proper radio
terminology on this day.
Instead of merely requesting permission to taxi, for example, the pilot
should say, "Avast, ye scurvy scum in the tow'r. We be taxiing to...

Waddling Eagle, by the Wizard of Draws by
C J Campbell[_1_]
Jeff Bucchino, the Wizard of Draws, has created a cartoon rendering of
"Waddling Eagle," the "World Famous Flight Instructor." I love it. This
means a great deal to me.

Cessna 350 / Cessna 400 by
C J Campbell[_1_]
Cessna is now selling the Columbia 350 and 400 as the Cessna 350 and
400. If you want to order one, talk to me. :-)
Seriously, 350 and 400? Might be a little confusing for the owners of
certain twins.

Speaking of D.B. Cooper... by
C J Campbell[_1_]
Seems some guy from Minnesota, Lyle Christansen, is convinced that his
brother Kenny was D.B. Cooper. Kenny Christansen is in fact a dead
ringer for Cooper, was an army paratrooper, bought a house in Buckley,
WA, with cash that he never explained where it came from, and he worked
for Northwest...

E6B for iPhone? by

The iPhone and iPod Touch have no way of downloading an application to

has both wi-fi and phone access to the Internet; the Touch has only
wi-fi. The browser on these devices allows you to keep several pages
open. Once open,...

Harvey Field Endangered by
C J Campbell[_1_]
It appears that Harvey Field (S43) in Snohomish County, WA, is in
serious trouble. Basically, Federal surveys have re-mapped the flood
plain and errors in the new map have placed Harvey Field within an area
where industrial development is now restricted, despite the fact that
the existing...

Heart trouble by
C J Campbell[_1_]
It appears that I am having a little bit of trouble with my heart. It
came on rather suddenly, as an EKG last December showed no problem at
all. But apparently I have developed something called an atrial
fibrillation. It doesn't look good for my flying status, but we shall
see.

Cost of gas is beginning to hurt by
C J Campbell[_1_]
It cost me more than $40 at Costco yesterday to fill my gas tank. I
figure it costs me at least $10 in gas every time I drive to the
airport -- and I have a hybrid car. I am beginning to wonder how long
some of the younger instructors can keep this up.

Huh. No mention of av-gas taxes in either of these articles, nor any

are.

Would you fly this Aircraft? by

I'd be interested in "go/no-go" opinions of others, based solely on the
following information ...
"Naturally aspirated, carburated, light twin (C172 engines) - hasn't been
flown for 3 weeks - at the conclusion of last flight was fueled to the max.
Has since been observed to have fuel dripping from...

Jeppesen plates are better because they'll get you in to a lot of airports

Good Rutan interview by
C Kingsbury
At a time when Big Aviation (Boeing, Airbus et. al.) seem to be going out of
their way to make airplanes as boring as possible, it's nice to know that
the pioneer spirit of men like Howard Hughes is still with us.
