Anyone ever fly from SF Bay Area to Seattle area? by
Cecil Chapman
Just a pipe dream at this point, but has anyone out there flown from the SF
Bay Area to Seattle (as the PIC, I mean)? Since my dad lives up there, I've
thought it might be fun to do someday, but no matter how I look at the

Q: Airport Identifiers by
[email protected]
Some airport identifiers begin with a letter while others begin with a
number. What's the difference?
A nearby airport changed from 1F9 to XBP. I would assume that there is
a cost associated with such a change. What is the reason for this
change that outweighs all the costs? As far as I know there...

I stumbled across this site today:
http://lcweb2.loc.gov/pp/pphome.html
Search for terms like aviation, aircraft or P-51 Mustang and you'll come up
with a lot of interesting photos that you may have never seen before. Pretty
interesting if you like history stuff.

Dropping off pax at MHT by
Dan Truesdell
I need to drop off a passenger at MHT to catch a commercial flight. Has
anyone done this? I read the FAA blurb that GA aircraft are not allowed
