I'm still around but thinking a lot about boat since we just bought a 32 foot sailboat. I'm mostly posting this because posts I'm making to rec.boats.cruising aren't showing up and I can't figure out why. If this post doesn't show up, would someone please let me know? -- Roger Long

Anyone out there using the Garmin 96c handheld GPS? I have discovered a glitch that may be a significant firmware problem on the 96c (and maybe the 96). When projecting a waypoint on a bearing from between 165 to 181 degrees FROM any existing waypoint in the 96c's internal aviation datatbase on...

http://alexisparkinn.com/c-130_accident.htm The pictures of this remarkable crash were forwarded to me by a fellow who is apparently in Iraq, judging by his assessment of the situation. (I've seen these pix posted in other places, but not with the details he provided.) The C-130 in question...

Could someone who flies mu2's (I'm thinking short body other than solataire) help me with these questions? What altitude would you pick for a 300nm trip, no winds or wx considered? What's your fuel flow/hour in climb at sea-level? What's the flow/hour in climb at 25,000? Can you expect at least...

Excerpt from Colombo Times... On 26th Dec '04 early morning several hrs before the catastrophe happened, Honolulu Tsunami Monitoring center have been trying to call our Meteorological Dept. monitoring center in Palekelle and Colombo but failed. They also got in touch with presidents' office...

Help I'm a swiss pilot and I'd like to do some flying in Australia next March. Does anyone know if there is a place in OZ where I could get a PC-12 type rating? I'm looking forwards for any response. Happy landings Peter

The local flight school bought one of these and I took a checkout in it last Friday. I didn't plan on ever renting it, but I wanted to try it out because it looks so cute and I'd never flown a new airplane before. It's probably unfair--after all, the DA20 is a much newer design--but I was...

I am planning to buy a folding bicycle for use in Vicky (N2679V - Cardinal RG '75). Eventually there will be two bicycles, his and hers. Occasional use for trips up to 5 or 10 miles in moderate hills, no mountain biking, no centuries. More than three speeds would be nice but I don't know...

Why is it that idiot reporters use the term "TARMAC"? Nobody in the aviation world uses that term do they? But then again reporters usually know abolutely nothing about aviation. What inspired this rant? The recent reporting on the US Airways baggage situation and the Northwest airlines flight...

The NY Times did a short story on this aircraft. Sounds like it will fill a need if full-size versions work as expected. http://www.fanwing.com George Patterson The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise.

I landed at Lakeway 15 minutes before sunset and was fined $1200. I couldn't get out of it even with witnesses. I would completely avoid Lakeway.

Having taken a look at John Gilban's website, I was reminded about what a neat airport Chandler is to see quite a few "interesting" aircraft that reside in the hangars there. A couple others... New Carlisle OH Andy Barnhart Memorial (no identifier) northeast of Dayton Ohio 5 miles E of...

Having just written a website for ham radio "study it yourself and pass the exam", it struck me that such a website for aviation ground school might be a good thing. ( www.rstengineering.com/hamradio ) I'm thinking of basing it on the Gleim Exam Study Guide and charging a nominal fee ($10 or so)...

I have never piloted an aircraft. I do flight simulation from time to time. Currently I am messing with radio controlled aircraft. There are simulators for that also. Having only simulation experience, but I'm wondering about how piloting is taught. Getting to the point, why not use a long runway...
