Well, with the usual application of logic by the SS, I guess we can expect the TFRs to increase to 60nm radius. They'll probably cancel the ADIZ relaxation test too. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=2&u=/ap/20031101/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_motorcade George Patterson You can dress...

Some time ago here there was a discussion on this in which there seemed to be a concensus that a BBQ joint at LLano (6R9) was the spot. Could anyone tell me: 1: Is it still? 2: Is there anyplace better in north or central Texas to bring a foreign visitor?

I spoke with the New Piper reps at the AOPA Expo, and asked them what are the correct designations for the 6X and 6XT. This is what they told me: 6X ... PA32-301FT 6XT ... PA32-301XTC

Does anyone know if any of the aviation vendors will be offering sales via their websites during the AOPA Expo? I know many have sales on site but not being able to attend, I'm still looking to buy some goods at a discounted price. Thanks!

As many of you know, I've been looking for an affordable wireless web cam that would allow me to show pictures of the Iowa City airport from the balcony of our hotel. (The view from the Red Baron suite is perfect for watching arrivals and departures on any of our three runways.) Unfortunately,...

I took a 5 day trip out to California to visit the wife who is commuting to the left coast every week for a 6 month business project. I wanted to check out flying into Catalina for a $100 hamburger. Rented a clean 172 from Benbow Aviation, (I wanted to rent their Archer since I normally fly an...

One of the joys of living in the Las Vegas area is the exceptional flying conditions we mostly get in the fall. Lower temperatures, a clear sky, and a general lack of turbulence allow you can take off for an entire day of flying fun with even the most timid passenger. Not all the time, of...

Looks like I'm moving from MN to MD. I'll probably be living in or very near Germantown, so I have a choice of three airports I can use to finish my instrument rating: Gaithersburg, Davis, and Frederick (GAI, W50, FDK) in order of increasing distance. Other than trading the relatively free skies...

I'm looking for an example of a W&B worksheet using CG arm values instead of moment values. Basically, I'm curious to see how these are done and what the worksheets look like. Either online or emailed examples are acceptable. Thanks! -- John T

Below is an article written by Rick Reilly of Sports Illustrated. He details his experiences when given the opportunity to fly in a F-14 Tomcat. "Now this message for America's most famous athletes: Someday you may be invited to fly in the back-seat of one of your country's most...

-----quote----- Biff was to fly me in an F-14D Tomcat, a ridiculously powerful $60 million weapon with nearly as much thrust as weight, not unlike Colin Montgomerie. I was worried about getting airsick, so the night before the flight I asked Biff if there was something I should eat the next...

Evening news tonight (Friday CST) showed a Russian bird crashing at an airshow in Japan. Pilot survived. Clip was over before I could focus on it. Looked like some kind of a jet??? Voice over said he was making a low pass and clipped a pole. No injuries on ground (thank God).

("Yossarian" wrote in the Catalina Perep thread) My first trip I was that low too, but now my FBO insists on a continuous climb to the middle of the channel for better glide distance if your engine quits. 4500' in a 172 is only like 7 miles glide. I wonder how many people have actually...
