Well, maybe it's not unique -- but *I've* never seen one like it before. See: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/Photogallery2/BigKidsToyShow/Flyer.htm A local church group is putting on a "Big Kids Toy Show" at our airport (KIOW) on May 21st and 22nd. It will be a fly-in breakfast both mornings, with...

I'm using Mozilla/Firefox instead of M$ Internet Explorer. I've also switched over to (free) Thunderbird, from using M$ Outlook Express 6.0. (So far I'm OK-happy with this combination) I've been reading these newsgroups with Outlook Express since 1998. I'm familiar with it and I like it. Comfort...

During a review of the V-speeds for an airplane I've never flown before, my instructor asked me about glide speed vs. weight, and total glide distance. I got the glide speed vs. weight part right, but the distance part seemed counterintuitive - that the total distance covered (by flying at the...

Plane and Pilot. March 2005. "What Pilots Say". Wow!

On Monday I am participating in a density altitude seminar, and I have been tasked with explaining why vx and vy converge at altitude. The explanation needs to be simple - i.e. no algebra calculations etc - just stripped to the bare bones. Here is what I have come up with. VX utilises excess...

I read somewhere that the use tax exemption for keeping your plane out of state for 3 months is no longer in effect. Can anyone comment? Are there still ways to avoid the 8% tax for out of state aircraft purchases? -Robert

"Jimmy B." wrote in message ... I'm thinking of making my first trip to Oshkosh this year. How far in advance do I have to plan this? For example, how quickly do the local hotels fill up? (Haven't made up...

I hope to fly a Tampico TB-9 whilst on holiday and would like to know more about the aircraft. I have found some performance data but some is missing. It would also be useful to find a checklist and panel layout if possible. Help appreciated, Thanks,
