....and there were no injuries, thank God. Google for news articles. It was between a Cessna 152 and a Piper Saratoga. ATC, with a veteran at the mic, was excellent in their handling of the situation. ATC even called-out the Saratoga traffic to the Cessna but I guess he didn't see it. For...

Of course, those who still live out in the sticks will need some other way to get around. This will be the rail lines, just like in the old days, or they will fly, as God intended. New airports will spring up like flowers after a rain. Flight instructors will be busy. The little planes...

I've recently read a couple of articles concerning people who have had cancer and upon completion of treatment been able to obtain a special issuance. Why would a special issuance be required if the person had been successfully treated for cancer and was free of the disease? I don't remember...

The site http://www.jpdo.gov/nextgen.asp touts on how flight planning will "revolutionize" by 2025 or thereabouts. It's a 2003 Bush plan to plan for the future. But when I read it, it sounds like a job security plan for aviation wonk civil servants. It alludes to great integration efforts of...

Aeronautical Glossary 180-Degree Turn - A sometimes difficult maneuver to perform; the degree of difficulty is usually determined by the size of the pilot's ego. A & P Rating - Enables you to fly grocery supplies. Aero - That portion of the atmosphere that lies over Great Britain.

Not to be confused with the History Channel in the US (although they may be related). With Discovery Wings gone and Wings to Adventure cancelled, I was going through some media withdrawals. I was pleasantly surprised to come across this show. Someone was kind enough to post the episodes over at...

So there I was. 9,500 ft. over Albemarle Sound in NC. Headed toward Kitty Hawk to meet some people flying up from Myrtle Beach attending the Beach Aero Club yearly meeting. I'm getting flight following from Washington Center and being pushed along with a 50 kt. tailwind (I took a picture of my GPS...

In light of Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley's March 31, 2003 illegal midnight raid on Meigs Airport http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2003/03-1-157x.html which resulted in the closing of the airport and FAA fines for the city, this is a little ironic: Boeing Donates $10 Million to Science...

I just received the 2008 Vintage Airplanes calendar, with my plane as "Miss January!" See: http://www.tide-mark.com/vintage-airplanes.html

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. — Anxious to avoid upsetting air travelers, NASA is withholding results from an unprecedented national survey of pilots that found safety problems like near collisions and runway interference occur far more frequently than the government previously recognized. NASA...

He not only predicted the Moller aircar, he knew it would crash. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa0W_BHMGkI&mode=related&search=

Thirty Five percent more fuel efficient. That would translate into less expensive tickets. And just a fraction of the noise. But will Boeing ever build something like this? Or will they wait until Airbus or Embraer or the Chinese or the Russians build...

Currently there's a very black storm system just north of Vancouver, Washington. I just watched a C-182 fly directly into it. http://www.katu.com/weather/doppler -c

I was playing with my old Airmap 500 that has not actually seen any 'active' service since I purchased it. Anyway, I entered a simple route A - B - C - D. When I select 'Navigate Route' , it would appear that it is trying to go directly to point D without going via A B & C. Is this...

I'm always puzzled by the impact obstacles (trees, buildings, etc) have on a crosswind. On the day ten years ago when I earned my tailwheel endorsement, there was a 15 knot direct crosswind above the treeline. But, the field was buried in a small gap between 75' trees and the crosswind...

Quite a good article in the Nov/Dec AARP magazine titled "Listening for Quiet". It talks about a silent sanctuary in Washington's Olympic National park. The article concluded by someone complaining about the silence broken by a small plane. The article said "The small plane flying north more than...
