WOW - Shots fired at skydiving plane in NY... by Buff5200
I believe the "minigun" is the chopper door mounted version of the electric gattling guns. Arnold was hand holding one in "Predator" and "Terminator II". The weapon that's as long as your aircraft, throws 6,000/min of death is the Vulcan Cannon of A-10 Warthog fame. A mini gun would be the...

Flying is proof of Freedom, was: Happy Fourth, Folks! by Rosspilot
I have, like many Americans, felt we should not support Israel in any shape or form unless they recall the methods they used to gain a homeland, many many years ago, Will you elaborate? What do you mean "method"? Are you suggesting that the process (involving Great Britain and other world...

Pirep: B-17 ride by Greg Burkhart
Jay mentioned on here a couple months ago about B-17 rides available through the Collings Foundation (http://www.collingsfoundation.org/menu.htm). I checked the schedule and found the B-17 and the B-24 were going to be at the Anoka County airport in Minnesota on July 9-13th. This was great timing...

need to rent(borrow?) 1-2 life vests (a raft?) for Oshkosh by Vassilii Khachaturov
Don't waste your energy flying over the lake. It will only take a few extra minutes to fly around it and the scenery is great (if the haze isn't too bad). Fly direct Gary and then up the lake shore. Maybe we'll end up doing just that; at this moment I'm just considering what's...

US Airways - NEVER AGAIN !!! by Robert Henry
I used to fly a considerable amount of commercial. I plan to never fly commercial again. Doesn't matter where the problem(s) lies, commercial airline travel sucks big time. Me too - same sentiment. The airlines refuse to adopt SOPs to handle the weather and FAA issues, imho. I went full...

Boeing to fly fuel-cell GA plane... by DeltaDeltaDelta
I read an interesting article in the papers a while ago concerning hydrogen fuel cells. It made the point that the fuel cell can actually be more polluting than an petrol engine since all the hydrogen ejected into the atmosphere could have an adverse effect on the oxygen in the air and possibly...

Aviation AD&D above $200K? by David Gunter
Now that I'm flying solo I have to pay attention to the "cannot be a pilot" clause of my current life insurance policy.
