You can't buy this publicity by
Bob Fry
Our local airport, University Airport (KEDU) at Davis, California, was
going to be closed 5 years ago. Local pilots formed a group--Friends
of University Airport--to defend the airport. We were successful, and
rather than disband, the group remained to continue promoting the
airport to the...

Decalin instead of TCP? by
Bob Fry
With the demise of 80/87 avgas, I bought a gallon of TCP and will
start adding that to the 100LL that I must now buy.

be similar in function but safer: decalin. Here's a blurb from
Aircraft Spruce. My questions are, has...

Oil and the Future by
Bob Fry
Nice series in the Chicago Trib. Sure, it's written as doom-n'-gloom
entertainment rather than dry facts and analysis, but they gotta sell
papers. Does make one wonder about our own (general aviation) future.
Note: As a courtesy to r.a.p., and against all tradition, followups
have been...

"From the Earth to the Moon" DVD set by

Maybe this is old stuff for most on this newsgroup, but I just
discovered this.
I rarely if ever hawk a particular product on Usenet, but this older
DVD set (1998) is fantastic. My brother-in-law gave it to me for
Christmas....thinking it was some boring collection of fuzzy
black-and-white 1960s...

The need for original documents, N-reg aircraft? by
Bob Moore
Peter wrote
There are various documents such as the cert of airworthiness, and
(for an N-reg in Europe) the FAA radio license, which some say need to
be carried in original.
The Radio License doesn't come from the FAA, it is isued by the FCC.

Using Excel/Access for your student's records by
BoDEAN
Any CFI's here use Excel or Access on their computer to keep a log of
their students and information on them and what you've covered with
them?
IF so, can you provide some tips on what a good starting ground would
be for designing a spreadsheet to do this.
Thanks
