B-36! by Stu Fields
I worked on the B-36s at Ramey AFB in Puerto Rico during 1955-1956. (was on a crew that broke the SAC record for engine change on the bird: 3hr.) A story comes to mind of the F-84 group that came down on a TDY. One of the F-84 jocks was a friend of one of the B-36 pilots and went for a ride. ...

Present from Bose! by Doug Vetter
Hi all, Back in August I placed an order for the retrofit battery box assembly for my 2001 vintage Bose X. Problem is, the units haven't shipped yet, apparently due to "manufacturing difficulties". Whatever. The latest news is that they *may* ship in March (about 8 months late). While I wasn't...

Flight Planning Software by Joe Allbritten
Does anybody have or know where I can get a free flight planning software program. I don't need anything too fancy. I am more interested in the wind triangle calculations. ( TC, TH, WCA, GS, IAS etc...) An excel spreadsheet proggy would be great. I thought it would be a great backup for an E6B...

PT6 question by MLenoch
Why do we pull the props back to feather prior to shutting down? I cannot see any reason for this. This seems a useless procedure on the shutdown checklist. If the prop levers are left forward upon shutdown, the prop blades will go into feather when oil pressure drops off. On start up, the...

Aircraft info by Paul
Where do pilot's get their POH's from? What other material is normally available that provides info on an aircraft besides the POH? I'm not a pilot (yet) but would like to get my hands on a POH for a Bombardier Global Express (BD-700) and Cirrus SR22 so that I can model them in a scientifically...

When is just clicking PTT an acknowledgement? by Ben Jackson
Somewhere I read that you should NOT acknowledge transmissions by just pressing PTT briefly. Now, I had never heard that before, nor done it, but since then I think I've heard it happen. Can someone who is familiar with this explain the PTT-ack customs so I know how to interpret it? -- Ben...

$#@! TSA requirements by C J Campbell
We just got back from a Caribbean cruise, so now I can say that I have taken that dam ship to Hell (the Maasdam, to be specific). I was most disappointed that Martin Hotze was not in Hell. I was told he was away on assignment. Against all my previous resolutions, we flew commercial down to...

Airvan aircraft by John Pelchat

Wake turbulence avoidance and ATC by Peter R.
A couple of days ago I flew into Logan Airport (Boston, MA, USA) in a C172 for an Angel Flight. Taxing to the departing runway, we were behind a B767 and a DC9 (in that order), with several other large airliners behind us. I noticed that there seemed to be no wake turbulence delay for the...

Presidential TFR @ Kill Devil Hills by Richard Russell
Does anyone else find it ironic that the President's very presence at the celebration of 100 years of powered flight has shut down almost 2,000 square miles of airspace? Couldn't he have phoned it in? Rich Russell

December 17 flight plans anyone? by Jack Allison
Is anyone planning on celebrating the 100th anniversary by going out and flying on 12/17? Going anywhere special or simply converting cash into lift? So long as it's a VFR day here in the CA central valley, I'm planning on leaving work a couple hours early and going flying. Nowhere special, just...
