I count around six posts in a row about aviation, with almost all of the responses actually related to the topic. Common factor- no Anthony Atkielski. When asked a logical question, Bertie gives reasonable and factual answers based upon knowledge and experience. This was never the case with MX,...

Jeppeson sure has a nice little monopoly going. $760.00 to get the updates for my mx 20 and Apollo 60 GPS. Dang.

On Tuesday, May 17 Robert Bosley was murdered by an intruder who broke into his home. Bob was a good friend of mine. I was also his CFI. At the exact time we were scheduled to fly together on Saturday, I will instead be attending his funeral. He was a good man, a good father and husband, a good...

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...

The "founder" of this rec.aviation.piloting usenet newsgroup, Jeoff Peck, seems to have discontinued periodically posting its charter. In the hope that knowledge of the charter will improve the newsgroup's ever declining signal-to-noise ratio, I post it he From: Geoff Peck...

I'll be flying one of our 172's down to Santa Monica (KSMO) sometime in the next few weeks, probably this coming Friday (returning the following day). I'll be arriving from Oakland, stopping somewhere like Santa Maria or San Luis Obispo for lunch before arriving IFR into SMO with a couple of...

It was the 3rd leg of an Angel Flight and I wasn't even supposed to be flying it. I'd already flown the second leg from Natchez, MS to Monroeville, AL, but the 3rd leg pilot had mysteriously failed to show--no call, no nothin'. It was late, I was tired and I was mad. I had two pax aboard. We...

Separate cockpit and passengers by wall with no door, no window, just plane wall. No mechanism of communication whatsover with cockpit from passenger area. That will discourage hijacker because whatever he do, pilot will not know. When terrorists know that even flight staff can not talk to pilot,...

It would seem to me, that the City of Santa Monica committed malfeasance in office by permitting residential development adjacent to the airport many years ago. Perhaps the City should face charges and be held accountable for their actions, if justice is to be served. If the City of Santa...

Hello all, I have heard rumors in the past that Tinker Air Force Base (OKC) had a flying club. I have looked in the base newspaper, and the tinker homepage with no luck. I have also DAGS. Anyone know if one is still in exsistence, or even fly with them. I heard they may be based out...
