Following surgery in January, I FINALLY got to fly today. Just around the patch for 3 T&Gs, but still... :-) -- Bob Noel Looking for a sig the lawyers will hate

When performing eights on pylons, is the goal to keep the target at the same vertical position on the side window, as well as at the same horizontal position?

I'd like to put this argument to rest, once and for all. Since I was in Center ATC back in the 80's, I used to hear that cell phones needed to be turned off because it interfered with the avionics. Well, let me tell ALL of u that as recently as six months ago a junior captain, Michael D, for...

Anybody been there recently? Is fuel available? I tried calling them but the number no longer works, and AirNav doesn't have any info. Jose -- Nothing takes longer than a shortcut. for Email, make the obvious change in the address.

What two Air Trans pilots will hear from now on. Well Done.

Hi Jay; I'm going to try something here. It may work. It may not, but I'll give it a go anyway just to see how you and the group in general react. If this post illicit a bad response, I'll call it a day on this issue. If it doesn't, I'll be glad to discuss it with those interested. First of all,...

Jay, Ah, you make my heart ache for another OSH visit. Glad to hear you had fun! -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

I'm using Mozilla/Firefox instead of M$ Internet Explorer. I've also switched over to (free) Thunderbird, from using M$ Outlook Express 6.0. (So far I'm OK-happy with this combination) I've been reading these newsgroups with Outlook Express since 1998. I'm familiar with it and I like it. Comfort...

I had planned a full moon flight up the coast last night, which had to be canceled (and not for the first time) due to wildfires and TFR's en route. For some odd reason they don't want bugsmashers trundling through the water bombers. OK, sez I, I'll just fly some patterns. The first Cessna I...

I can't even remember the last primary student I soloed it was so many years ago. So, all of a sudden I have three primary students and I just soloed one of them. As I stood on the edge of the runway watching him make his pattern and approach and follow through, I tried to remember the thrill each...

A colleague at work and personal friend's dad is a recently retired ATCO officer whom has worked at EGLL / LHR for about 30 years. The chap has done much for me and for many others, so I wanted to send a thank-you gift that tied in to aviation and perhaps ATC operation. I know what kind of gifts...

The average ga fleet is 30 some years old, you dont see kids at the airport anymore, most of the pilots are us older types,...

Does anyone have high-quality line art for a 172M side view? -dr

Preflighting the Arrow I was taught to check the landing gear micro switches. OK great. There they are. I even work the switch to feel that it's making contact inside. I was Master Mechanic in the Air Force and repaired the Autopilot systems on the SR-71 and U-2 so I know about airplane...
