The Manx flag flying above the gate flapped in the wind. The gate dismally creaked as I opened it, and Bob drove his diesel station wagon through. Weak winter sunshine reflected off the damp patches on the ground. I closed the gate, and thought of Douglas Adams's description, "several billion...

For what it's worth, Google has changed their logo (probably just for the day) to show the Wright Flyer. The two spinning props make the two o's in Google. http://www.google.com

....Over on the binary channel, "alt.binaries.pictures.aviation". The new facility looks fabulous! (And the damage to the Enola Gay appears to be slight, thankfully.) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

....and what would you like to see there. it just seems to me that maybe the excitement and spark is gone. AVweb was probably the first and surely the best, but now it's one of many. Zoom's online rag is daily, but his history makes all of the content questionable. EAA and AOPA are a bit too much...

In the long tradition of putting "stuff" on top of the dome at MIT, how about this one for the Centenial of Flight: http://home.comcast.net/~jwisnia18/MIT_Gloat.jpg -- Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways)

I just learned that one can type the N-Number of an airplane into Google, then click search. At the top of the results list there will a "Search FAA database" link. Click that, and the FAA registration info turns up. It takes less time than it took me to write this message. Maybe that's old news,...

I returned a few hours ago from my flight to celebrate the 100th anniversary. A few years ago I had an idea for a flight I wanted to take but never motivated to do it. Thanks in a good part to a post in rec.piloting asking what was planned to celebrate the anniversary. I thought to do it on the...

Thanks to all of you who helped my son with his homework. My wife's is a little harder but potentially more rewarding. She is on the Board of The Center for Grieving Children, a wonderful Portland, Maine-based organization that provides peer counseling to families affected by the death or...

I just read that Bush will speak at the Kill Devils Hill bash. Does this mean that the Wright Flyer won't be able take off? Nothing else will be flying, how inappropriate. -- Roger Long

There it was on again, on "Nova" of all places, in a show about the Wright brothers the night before the centennial. The "Equal transit, air has to go farther over the top so it's faster" crap. They even had the worst of the diagrams that usually accompany this explanation. The air goes over the...

I just ran these videos from home for the first time, and was surprised (to say the least) to see text over-written ON my videos, saying "PicVideo" and a website called: www.jpg.com. It appears on...

I've been scanning the 'net to get an idea of an average brokerage fee for an aircraft (1968 Cherokee 140) valued in the $20,000 to $25,000 range. My expectation would be advertising the aircraft and acting as initial point of contact. The aircraft would need to be sold from my home base, not...

Does anyone out there have any or all expired WAC charts that they would like to sell or give away? As I've seen posted before, I'd like to try and use them as wallpaper. Thanks in advance, AXA
