Have had a great flying month, with nearly 40 hours flying the Baron from Wisconsin to Portland, OR, and then on separate trips east to New York, and then Vermont. The plane has run great- not needing a quart of oil in either engine for over 40 hours! Encountered ice, thunderstorms, and...

I'm only planning to be there parts of Wed and Thurs but though I might attach R.A.P. to my shirt or hat - it would be nice to attach some faces to the names.

http://www.alexisparkinn.com/biplane_rides!.htm If you've ever had the urge to experience aviation the way it was almost 80 years ago, this is your chance. It's just not every day you get to fly in a 1929 Travel Air! I took my daughter up last summer, and it is absolutely the coolest ride there...

.... no. Too expensive to be a fractional owner of a SR20 for my weekend sorties. I am going back to the Calgary Flying Club and will rent the new DA 20's for weekend fun and travel over the flatland, and the 182 when needed for over the mountains capability. Thanks to all for a most...

Scary (impossible?) though it may seem, that little baby that I held in my arms moments after birth (hell, I cut his umbilical cord!) is scheduled to take his first flight lesson tomorrow afternoon... It seems like just yesterday I was changing his diaper, or teaching him to tie his shoes. And...

Last month a Hollywood producer was detained for several hours for honestly answering a TSA screeners question as to his purpose for visiting. The answer to the question: "I'm here to shoot a pilot." Yesterday, a single engine GA pilot was intercepted, forced to land and was greeted by 20...

I notice that the Citation CJ1s have Collins Pro Line and the Citation Mustangs have Garmin 1000s. Does the Pro Line have any significant advantages over the Garmin 1000? Which might be easier for the single pilot to learn? -Just Curious -Charles Talleyrand

Well, I arrived at the airfield about 30 minutes early, to find the a/c tied down ready to go. Sky was overcast, but no rain, and visibility was easily 10k +. Today was a dual session, with the intent to knock off some of the as yet uncovered training. We started out with a normal take off,...

....wasn't anything bad. She's managing a golf tournament almost directly under the final approach at Aurora in Oregon. She called a little while ago all teary-voiced in excitement because a certain B-24 just roared over her head. While she was on the phone, a B-25 passed over. Apparently...

Hi all, I just started a new group on Face Book called John Travolta The Aviator. The purpose of this group is to talk about John Travolta, a great aviator. There are lots of sites dedicated to his movies but there are none dedicated to his career as a pilot. I'm sure he loves talking about...

Attention hip hop stars and billionaires: the world's biggest airliner, the 73-metre-long (239-feet) Airbus A380 superjumbo, has been ordered by a mysterious buyer for use as a private jet. The order sets new heights in the private plane sector, leaving the Learjet, which used to be the ultimate...

Hi Dudley, I found that you have time in the T38 Talon. Is it as sweet to fly as it looks? Back in 85 at Oshkosh they had the civilian owned T38 on the ramp that I later saw in a Pepsi commercial (Top Gun inspired) and in the movie Dragnet. After getting back to camp I was telling a buddy of...
