Okay, so I've been "volunteered" to be on the board of directors of the biggest fly-in event in Iowa City's history, the Eastern Iowa Big Kids Toy Show, scheduled for May 20 - 21, 2006. See us at www.BigKidToyShow.com (Yes, they made me wear a -- *sob* -- TIE for the photos... It was awful! ...

I'm going to be flying down to the Youngstown area in about a week. Any one have any information about services and costs at the two airports (4G4) and (YNG) as well as the FBOs? Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com

Jonathan strickland, a 14-year-old boy from California, is believed to be the youngest person in the world to fly solo in different aircraft on the same day. He flew solo in a small aircraft, and then after making a couple of touch and go's, Jonathan jumped into a helicopter. Jonathan is one of...

The board for my EAA chapter has just adopted a policy where the chapter reimburses chapter members up to $75 of their rental aircraft expenses for giving Young Eagle rides. Aside from the issue that I'm not particularly comforable with the idea of where the chapter's hard earned money is going, I...

Ok... I'm opening a can of worms here.. I am frustrated and feeling a little miffed at the moment. I know that user fee's are the leading story right now with the alphabet groups but in the past few days, something on the back burner for a few years just got published.. The National Air Tour...

Aside from joining a local EAA chapter, what other qualifications must a pilot have in order to become a volunteer for the Young Eagles program? After poking around the EAA website I get the impression there is nothing else, but want to verify. -david

AvWeb October 20th http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/494-full.html#190814 YOUNG EAGLES FLIGHTS CONTINUE AFTER FATALITIES... "With 500,000 flights and 1.2 million kids safely flown as Young Eagles, we think our safety procedures are pretty sound," That's more than 2 kids per...

I fiddled with the math on the probable number of Y/E hours flown, and the few known number of nonserious incidents (something like 3 since 1991) to compute the accident rate/100,000 hours. Having a Y/E aboard is one of the safest ways to fly. The rate is so low that it isn't necessary to adjust...

Yesterday I was flying near another nearby airstrip where lots of Young Eagle flights were being executed. The pilots were universally identifying their calls with "Young Eagle, left downwind" or whatever. After reflecting on this a few minutes, I could contain myself no longer. I keyed the mic...

Don;'t tell me you've actually had a notion cross your head? Bertie

http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/15866220.htm It's a gray crappy day here in Charlotte, about 50 miles south of Statesville. Rain everywhere... some places are supposed to get up to 4" but we've just had a steady soaking rain here. No word yet if the Cirrus was coming or going but my...

There are actually TWO party announcements here -- one held in Oshkosh (KOSH), and one in Iowa City (KIOW). Both parties are free to all pilots and aviation enthusiasts...so read on! The **4th Annual Rec.Aviation Oshkosh Party** will be held on Wednesday evening, after the daily air show, at our...

I need to go to Hackensack, NJ, of all places. It would be nice if I could fly myself there. It looks like Teterboro is the closest airport, but I don't want to have to get a second mortgage to pay the landing fees. Searching AOPA and AirNav turned up no other results. Can anyone tell me the...

I sell once, lose repeatedly, then rest before the semi-final as to the realm. She'd date independently than knock with Mahammed's brilliant iron. No socialist dancers near the objective strand were lodging because of the contemporary cluster. I was attending to mutter you some of my steep...

See, as long as you were just occasionally peppering the group with those Mark Dexter spams, it could've been anyone doing it. But now...after admitting your Maryland ties, and by using my Google identity, we see that you were (as I pointed out) the trolls hiding here all along. Hey Philip...
