Tiedown Stakes (Article in SportAv.) by
Jim Weir
Sport Aviation (EAA Magazine), April issue, pages 110-112.
The article shows a system of metal rod-stakes and the 3-part chain with the
repair link in the middle. The article goes into some detail on how to make a
3-part chain with a repair link (pretty trivial to figure that out) but...

Coast to coast trip suggestions? by
Filip Zawadiak
Hi,
I'm going in two weeks for fly&tour&camp vacations. I planned to fly
from San Diego to Florida and back, using different routes both ways.
At first I wanted to go counterclockwise, but then after reading
different comments decided to go in other direction, going through
Grand Canyon and...

Getting a Flight Physical Waiver by
KIR
I'm interested in flying again after 30 years on the deck. I haven't taken
the Cat III physical as I know I'll need a waiver from the FAA because I
have a pacemaker implant. I know waivers are possible and I know what the
waiver protocol entails. It's very involved and costly. I'm willing to...

[email protected]
I heard on the radio this morning that a Marine F-18 went down in So. Cal
last night somewhere near my house. I did not hear strange noises last

Flying weather on your cell phone by
Jay Honeck
http://www.my-cast.com/
Here's the website for the service I first heard about at Sun N Fun. I've
signed up and it seems to work perfectly.
It's very, very cool to be able to see "live" weather radar on your cell
phone. A radar picture is truly worth a thousand words when you're trying
to skirt...

Interesting Reading by
EDR
I enjoy going to the US military safety websites and reading the annual
mishap report review.
They describe the different classes of mishap (severity) and list the
associated costs of each mishap (your tax dollars at work!).
Remember the B-1B that went down off Diego Garcia?
It resulted from an...

Invitiation to the end of the IRS by
Don Tabor
Rally for America
How about making April 15th just another day?
American businesses will spend more just on the cost of compliance
with the IRS code than we spend on the war on terror, and we do it
EVERY year,
with no end in sight.
Our current tax code is fair to no one, cripples our...

Sun N Fun Redux by
Jay Honeck
We had worked at the hotel until noon that Easter Sunday, but -- with the
plane loaded and fueled the night before -- we were actually off the ground
by 1 PM, a new world's record. We figured we'd make a leisurely day of it
by stopping overnight in Jim Fisher's Muscle Shoals, to see if we could...

Central California to OSH by
Javier Henderson
This might be FAQ #276, but it's a slow day...
Can we talk about routings from Central California to OSH? My Skylane
can drink mogas, 80/87 and 100LL, in that order of preference.
What is (are) your favorite route(s)?

Airspeed of military planes by
Tetsuji Rai
Airspeed limitation below 10000ft is usually 250kts unless you have been
authorized by the Administrator. However I guess it's a bit slow for
military fighters. So I am curious how fast military fighters fly in the
real world. I guess it's very dangerous military aircraft fly much fast
among...

A four-place Cirrus crashed yesterday near Greenwood, SC. There were

after takeoff. There was no mention of a parachute deployment. They
had arrived a few...
