I just heard about this on another forum (and the moderator of that forum found it on a flightsim list): http://www.skyvector.com These are apparently TIFF images supplied by NACO that have been geo-referenced with recent METAR overlays. There's also an option to set a "home base" link. Pretty...

Does anyone know of a source to get current versions of the the old,crappy FAA style wx charts that the FAA requires we teach (i.e. radar summary chart w/ all the strange symbols). I'm not looking for real world wx information (like ADDS), but the FAA academic ones we have to teach. -Robert

1) Airplanes usually kill you quickly - a woman takes her time. 2) Airplanes can be turned on by a flick of a switch. 3) Airplanes don't get mad if you do a 'touch and go.' 4) Airplanes don't object to a pre-flight inspection. 5) Airplanes come with manuals to explain their operation.

If you haven't noticed, the $100 hamburger web site has gone pay only. A new free alternate site has popped up which I suggest we support instead: CPA Member Don Johnston has started a new web site Flying-Food.com. Similar to a site that recently went to a subscription service, this site relies on...

See http://www.pilotmall.com/page/1/PROD/New/18101 Ron Wanttaja (a regular over on rec.aviation.homebuilt) has written a most excellent book outlining literally EVERYTHING you need to know before taking the leap into owning your own airplane. I have read it cover to cover (I received a copy from...

I took the hint and have begun migrating images off Photosig and over to pBase. If you want, take a look at www.pbase.com/flyingphotog and tell me if you get bigger, better images (and I hope, not a lot of crap to fight through.) Thanks, Jay B

We enjoyed a 45 knot tailwind all the way to our favorite fly-in restaurant today (The CAVU Cafe, in Janesville, WI ). This blessing naturally switched to a 45 knot curse on the way home. Droning along has its advantages. The headwind gave my kids ample time for a nap, and gave Mary and me...

In the next few months I plan on getting my commercial single engine land and multi engine ratings. I'm totally baffled by the aeronautical experience requirements though. FAR 61.129 is pretty clear that SEL and MEL each have required dual and solo cross countries and night flight. However I...

Friday, an iced up Cirrus came down under BRS. Just a bit northwest of where I live here in Alabama. According to the newspaper, it took off out of Birmingham and iced up climbing through clouds, stalled, and the pilot popped the BRS. Came down in a tree. Pilot and passengers uninjured.

Reading Jay Beckman's profile on his photo site (which ends with "GO SHOOT SOMETHING") reminded me of a funny story from a week or so ago. I've a friend that's been in a number of movies etc. (ie. he's a recurring role on the Sopranos, he was in several Star Trek episodes, he was in Class Action,...

Does anyone have an opinion to how many single engine low wing, high wing, or twins or any combination would comfortably fit in a 60x80 hangar. The door is 60 feet wide. At my local airport there is a 60x80 for rent and obviously it would cost way to much for me to rent by myself. I am looking to...

What a great story. Bummer the planes gonna be a total, but they walked away. http://www.currypilot.com/news/story.cfm?story_no=12131 -- John Huthmaker PPL-SEL P-28-161 http://www.cogentnetworking.com

The plan. Register my soon to be purchased aircraft into a Delaware LLC. The plane will be purchased out of state and be flown into and stored in California. I was told by the company that forms the Delaware LLC that getting an LLC is better over a C type corporation because I would not have...

http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/Videos/2006-merlins.mpeg Can anyone give me some information on this remarkable video? It's wonderfully clear footage of Merlin-powered Spitfires and Mosquitos, but it looks too new to be original World War II footage. It almost looks like...
