Considering how restrictions pop up without warning, I'm not surpised: WASHINGTON (CNN) --Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and despite heightened security, 157 planes have violated airspace over presidential residences, CNN has learned. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)...

Someone asked for this I don't remember who, but if you're out there, here it is: Looking at the 21 airports in New Jersey that sell 100LL, the prices range from $3.55/Gal. (Central Jersey Regional Airport - 47N) to $7.22/Gal. (Teterboro Airport - KTEB). The average is $4.78/Gal., although the...

I got a link to a slideshow of Cessna's New Generation Piston plane that apparantly was shown at Oshkosh (I couldn't make it, so I don't know). Did anyone on the NG actually see it? If so, what is your opinion? Here's the...

I know someone some time ago was looking for the complete set of DVDs from the series "From the Ground Up." I didn't know until recently that the EEA was one of the producers of this show. I looked on their website and, by gum, there it is. If the person who was looking for this is still on this...

I found this while going through the Musem of Online Museums: http://www.retrocrush.com/archive2006/noseart/ AJ

Has anyone flown the Sport Aircraft Company's "Mermaid"? If so, what are your impressions of it? Is it as unwieldy as it seems in the company's videos? (It's at http://www.sportaircraftworks.com/mermainmain.html). AJ Reply

I stumbled onto a webpage devoted to movie cliches. Of course, the best section is called "Airplanes." My favorite cliche: "When a plane is low on fuel, the hero usually taps the gas guage as if that will help. Example....Top Gun, Tom Cruise tapping the gas gauge of a $60 millon F-14 Tomcat like...

HAH! Fool me once, gilan -- if that is ineed your real name! I know for a fact that gators have a lousy sense of altitude and could never be considered airworthy. Those many, many, many hours of Animal Planet have served me well. AJ PS: I'll do my best to be there!

My rapidly crumbling memory tells me that someone on this group posted a link to an aviation-themed restaurant recently. The place came complete with hangars and WWII era aircraft on the runway outside. If anyone knows what I'm talking about -- a rare occurence in itself -- would you please...

I missed this article when it first appeared. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/FlyingHigh/story?id=949148&page=1 Is it possible for the Light Sport category to revive that old slogan of "An Airplane In Every Garage" in order to bolster the number of GA pilots? AJ

I took my daughter to Linden Airport (that's in New Jersey). We stood with a small crowd at the fence on the shopping mall side as planes took off and landed. (This is where I got my interest in flying many years ago.) Presently a mall security truck drove up and the guard told us to disperse...

From the New York Daily News: A pilot was killed yesterday when his twin-engine airplane crashed in the middle of the Village of East Hampton, terrifying movie stars and fans mobbing an annual film festival. The Cessna 411 aircraft plummeted out of the clear eastern Long Island sky at 1:44 p.m....

Does anyone know if the Clubhouse is still at Lincoln Park Airport in New Jersey (N07)? Can't find a listing for it. If not, is there another good $100 Hamburger up there? AJ

Please excuse me for the vagueness of what I'm going to ask. I was watching the Wings Channel some time ago and saw footage of a German flying ace who, before Germany began it's military buildup to World War II, demonstrated his flying skills. One stunt he did was to fly low over a landing strip...

I don't remember going into a field shorter than 2500 feet in my M20J, so don't really have actual short field experience. Like lots of Mooney jocks though, I plan my touchdown maybe 1000 feet or so before whatever taxiway I'm planning on using, and don't often have to use brakes to make the turn. ...

Can anyone provide a lick to the actual transcripts? My Google search gave thousands of hits, but none leading to the specific transcripts. Thanks AJW

SInce I took my training longer ago than most of you are alive, I'm confused about current practices. I came across a NTSB report that described a pilot with about 320 hours TT, of which about 75 were as PIC. The pilot was about half way though his flight training for his IRF rating, had a PPL and...

Hey guys, I'm doing a story about a flight I took a long time ago out of Cheyenne. I forgot what ATC center you talk with there. Can anyone help? Thanks
