Hi I have plans to visit the USA this September for 3 weeks. There i'd like to charter a C172 for 12 to 14 days. Starting point would be LA (California). Does anybody know a serious company or flight school where it is possible to charter a C172 in the LA area? Kind regards Timo / Switzerland

The president, though long retired from the TV biz, has not lost his flair for drama: After flying back from Hawaii for a meeting he attended "on his own time" (I assume this aside is supposed to make people not question how their dues are being spent...), Phil arrived in DC to "implore" decision...

The fuel capacity of the 172M that I fly is considerably larger than my bladder capacity, that's a fact. A glider-guider friend of mine suggested I think about one of these: http://biorelief.com/store/stadiumpal.html# Anybody out ever try this? Any PiReps?

Just saw this video on thatvideosite.com: http://www.thatvideosite.com/view/1524.html That's a crazy landing. Is it real? If so, does anyone have any details, new reports, etc? Paul.

I am a new airplane owner (since May). My mechanic replaced my battery last June. No choices, I figured he bought the one it needed. Just serviced it (added water). It's in a REALLY awkward spot to get at and see inside the cells -- on the floor under the instrument panel of a plane with no doors...

I was thinking about jointing/volunteering for Angel Flight of Oklahoma as a pilot. Would a low time VFR pilot be of any use to them? I have 190 hr soon to be 200hr, when we get some good flying weather. I have flown only 3 times since November. Because VFR flying is unreliable, I wonder if I...

My difficulties in getting an IPC have really reminded me that it's easier to stay current than get current again. Problem is, I don't know how to stay current. We don't get much IMC here, so flying approaches by myself isn't really an option. We certainly don't get enough to get in six...

You(big) and a big buddy are in a two seater Robinson R22, a rinky dink but very responsive helo, with full fuel. Conditions hot and high, you can't get the chopper to lift up off the skids... What do you do? Well, lift up on the collective making sure you don't over do the manifold pressure. ...

Hello, i have a few questions about licenses in the US Where can i find an overview of the FAA licenses and currencies (VFR & IFR)? Do you have to extend your licenses, or do you only have to stay current? Greetings Momme

Recently got this movie and have watched it several times. My 2.5 year-old grandson loves the flying scenes - wants me to repeat certain scenes over and over. Fun movie, but considering that it's a tribute to WW-II style flying, couldn't Spielberg have tried a bit harder for...

Does anybody know the person who owns the footage of the Thunderbird crash footage from 2003?

We have a pretty active bird feeder, with several different types of seed, in the backyard near a large picture window. We get a variety of birds ranging from sparrows and finches to woodpeckers, cardinals and jays. Some mornings there is a small pile of feathers on the ground near it,...

Dear Traders, One thing is fore sure, good value stocks will never fall like Amazon.com or Yahoo! during the perfect storm of the internet hype. To give you a small hint about Google, you have to look at the heavy insider trading in this stock. Stocks with the value of more than 15 Billion...

Coming back from KCOS to 00V today several aircraft were in the pattern for runway 33 and some people wanted runway 15 since the winds were at the changeover point. With one or two at the runup area for runway 15 I just went east until the fiasco was sorted out (I made several position reports...

A great career in aviation. Hopefully only hot people take you up on this deal. http://www.milehighatlanta.com On the other hand, where the heck can I find a retro-fitted Cherokee??

I'm interested in purchasing a package weather instrumentation system possibly with some other environmental sensory data packages ... any suggestions? It is for a small airport with moderate traffic. I am looking for manufacturer suggestions who are reliable with good accurate repeatable...
