Having flown a variety of aircraft over the years, I never pass up the opportunity to try a new plane out; regardless if it is a heavy jet, or a small two seat general aviation aircraft. The Liberty XL-2 is not exactly the newest aircraft around, but is still a bit of a rare sight. I was invited...

All, Following is the obituary from the Asheville Citizen-Times for Col. Robert Morgan, pilot of the B-17 “Memphis Belle.” The news in Memphis (my Mom called me) said that his family made the difficult decision to remove life support. I know that we will all keep his family in our...

I've never been to a show there and am getting pretty pumped up about going to it. I just wondered if anyone had any hints as to a nice,...

Hey all, Cool site! Wasn't sure if this was the appropriate sub-forum to post in, but I'm trying to develop a cafepress.com shop where people can buy gift items (mugs, t-shirts, coasters, etc) with navigational symbols printed on them. So far I've only got gifts with a Vor/DME symbol, but I think...
