Admit your lie, tommy by
Lennie the Lurker
No facts, just an ego. Dig in google, the final straw of the down and

were insinuating what I thought you were, and you swallowed the hook,
line and sinker. ...

Bill Daniels
So, I'm packing up the glider trailer and Grand Cherokee for a trip that

Nolaminar
Can someone tell me if all members of the EU have been issued new pilot license
certificates?
For those that have US certificates based on previous (old) licesnes, the US
certificate will no longer be valid.
The worse news is that the new procedure from the FAA is more complex than
simply going...

We have tried the 5 inch flat mirror, field of view too narrow. We

Any help would be...

Those of us who have actually heard Bob Carlton's jet-powered
Silent in the air can tell you that once it is off
the ground and more than a few hundred feet away that

Yesterday afternoon Mark Mocho (MM Fabrication) opened
the canopy of his Pegasus to get his cell phone. By
the time he made a call to me, his soaring hat, which
was lying atop the glare shield, was smoking. The
