Cap't Dan by
Flyingmonk
Does anyone know Capt Dan who flew H300C helicopter for radio station
AM63 around 1776. I was in forth grade and he landed his helicopter in
the school yard. This was one of the reasons that I took up helicopter
flying. I'm wondering if he is still slive and I'd like to hollar at
him.

The Discovery channel Crash of a 727 by
a[_3_]

They didn't figure out that you should not fly an approach at typical glide slopes for...

Concorde Crash by
Orval Fairbairn
Here is an interesting story on the crash that grounded the Concordes:
http://www.askthepilot.com/untold-concorde-story/

airmanship.
