Talk about the high cost of aviation! by C J Campbell
A local limo driver managed to back into the wingtip of a Falcon jet the other day, bending the wingtip slightly. The small piece of aluminum, containing mountings for the wingtip lights, had to be replaced. None of the lights, the wiring, the light cover, or any other part of the airplane...

Do we need the SR-71? by C J Campbell
One of the most important lessons, I think, coming from the war on terrorism is that poor intelligence is becoming very costly. Satellites are predictable and are unable to loiter over an area, while drones can cover only relatively small areas. From Desert Shield up to now we have been basically...

The price of gas by C J Campbell
So oil is now over $40/barrel and this is being blamed for the fact that gas is now over $2/gallon and avgas is well over $3/gallon. As one news report put it, oil is the most expensive it has been since the 1970's. Ummm, anyone remember what the price of gas was in the 1970's when oil was pushing...

TFRs and ADIZ: The Final Solution by C J Campbell
Ernie Fletcher nearly got himself shot down when he penetrated the DC ADIZ with a busted transponder. Can you imagine what would have resulted from such an event? It could well have been the end of the Bush administration. So, I have a modest (ahem) proposal. Democrats! Here is your chance to so...

Laser Flare Signaling Device by C J Campbell
http://www.greatlandlaser.com/faa2.htm Even as the news media envision powerful lasers blasting airliners out of the sky, pilots have been experimenting with using lasers to make flying safer. This rescue device was developed by an Alaskan pilot. It doesn't seem likely to blind anybody, but if I...

AOPA Security alert? by C J Campbell

Some caveats for people new to aviation and to this group by C J Campbell
Every now and then we get a contentious, obnoxious know-it-all who in fact has only rudimentary knowledge of aviation. Past examples include the Fish Who Must Not Be Named, AcroBat, Skyloon, and others. There is at least one such haunting the aviation groups even now. The current guy is small...

Cirrus SR22 Purchase advice needed. by C J Campbell

About those anti-aviatoin newsgroups by C J Campbell
We should be cautious about posting anything on these news groups. There is no way of convincing the mentally ill that airplanes are not a threat to them, so arguing with them is futile. At worst, somebody in these groups could find out about the rec.aviation news groups. This is a serious...

Presidential TFR violations in Seattle? by C J Campbell
It took me 40 minutes to get through to the FSS on the phone this morning. I had a student at 8:00 am and then a charter at 11:00. Tacoma Narrows fell within the 30 nm TFR. The briefer told me that nine planes had been forced down in Redmond, OR, the previous day. The FSS confirmed for me that the...

AmeriFlight Crash by C J Campbell
Is it just me, or does AmeriFlight seem to lose an awful lot of airplanes? I know 1999 was a bad year, but they appear to lose at least one plane every year. http://www.thesunlink.com/redesign/2003-11-30/local/333810.shtml -- Christopher J. Campbell World Famous Flight Instructor Port Orchard, WA

Approach speeds for ILS by C J Campbell
We get foggy here at Tacoma Narrows this time of year (which is the reason I post more on these groups in the winter than in the summer). One thing we see a lot of is guys who fly the ILS too fast. I have no problem with flying the ILS at 90 or 100 knots if the ceiling is well above minimums, but...

OT (sort of): CBS revisited by C J Campbell
Now the FCC is investigating CBS for broadcasting obscene material. BWAHAHAHA! I guess exposing a breast is obscene, but inciting the public to violence against airplanes and pilots is not. I know! We will disguise all our airports as unmentionable body parts, and CBS will never be able to do...

World's Ugliest Plane? by C J Campbell
Wall Street Journal today ran an article on the Boeing Large Cargo Freighter, the "Dreamlifter." It is one ugly plane. A CFI and student in a Skyhawk were darn near killed in November when they flew through the monster's wake turbulence. They were flipped over and lost 1000 feet of altitude and...
