These are the attributes the Destroyer uses to describe the new Transportation Secretary. He then says he intends to "educate" her on the issue of user fees. LOL. If these are truly her attributes, she will promptly show the Destroyer the door, as her fellow Arizonan, John McCain, has...

FAA Safety sent an email alert but the link to download the PDF file was not complete, at least in my email program only the last part of the link was detected. The http --.gov stuff was not detected. Below is the text of the PDF file, which can be downloaded from ...

I renewed my medical certificate yesterday. The secretary now uses some software that guarantees everything is acceptable to the FAA. But it choked on my hair color. I wrote "WHITE" but that isn't one of the keywords that are allowed. She changed it to "GRAY" and said that would get it...

I am considering a flight to Key West and the Bahamas but there still seesm to be a lot of thunderstorm activity in the south/east now. Combined with normal haze and it is not appealing to me right now. I am used to 50-100 mile visibility so I would prefer to wait until the thunderstorms are not a...

Anyone entering the United States, even from Canada, the Caribbean, or Mexico, will need a passport beginning January 8. This will be true even for infants; the old cut-off was 14. Also, a child needs the permission of both parents to get a passport, which should be all kinds of fun for single...

Howdy! I've seen a couple of other fly-in notices here, so I thought I'd mention ours. We're having a fly-in on Saturday the 9th and Sunday the 10th from 10AM to 6PM both days. We'll have a flymart and camping, so if you're looking for an excuse to XC or would just like to drop in and see the...

Maybe he's CFI at Moos-Lami-78-Virgin Flight School, where landing skills are optional. "Dallas" wrote in message ... "Robert M. Gary" That clip was interesting like a month ago.

In article , Bush wrote: 6:10 PM the National Transportation Safety Board confirmed that the Comair flight was assigned departure from runway 22, however departed runway 26 (3500 ft.) since it was closer to the...

I am getting tired of comments like "controller should have warned the pilots", or "taxiway was confusing", or "runway lights were off" etc.. One could not find a better example of a pure and simple pilot error. The runway was clear, the weather was VFR, and the airplane was working fine. It is...

Hello, Can anyone tell me the name of an aviation book titled something like "Wild Blue Yonder"? It is a compilation of chapters from other flying books. There's a chapter by Roald Dahl during WWII, a great story about a Viet Nam fac, one about a guy parachuting through a thunderstorm, etc. A...

I'm curious what the current state of sea plane fuel is. When I started flying sea planes cross countries were planned to docs where boat fuel was available and most all seaplanes had mogas STCs. Since avgas is so rare on the water and seaplanes have such short legs what are people doing today with...

I recently acquired a share in a Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee. Any of you with a lot of hours an experience could give me some hints and tips about this airplane? Thanks in advance.

I've contemplating buying my first plane. C182 is almost perfect for what Iwant to do with the plane. alas the last few flights have had some significant overwater legs. CRQ-AVX-SBA I also want to be able to comfortably return home after dark. Thus I was thinking about a light twin, something...

I'm reposting a 2-part trip report originally sent to the Grumman owner's mailing list: ---- Day 1 and 2 How quickly went the 3 days that I spent with my family at Rochester NY. On Friday 9/1 it was time for me to start my way back to the Pacific Northwest. Except for the last leg from Port...
