crazy mountain weather (long) by
mindenpilot
Early Thanksgiving morning I saw the clouds starting to form.
They run parallel to the the Sierras and indicate that the "Minden Wave" is
taking shape.
This gets the glider pilots excited, but makes me a bit nervous.
My wife's family was driving down from Reno for Thanksgiving, and her
brothers...

Leaving the community by
David Brooks
One thing - one of so very many things - I learned in my five years of
flying is that partisan politics does not fit into the cockpit. Most of my
flight instructors have, I know, been to the right of me politically. I had

Jay Honeck
Check out http://makeashorterlink.com/?F44F312E9
This is a great new (to me, anyway) aviation weather link.
It has everything I need in one easy-to-read format. I especially like
the graphic, hour-by-hour depiction of ceiling and visibility --

speed record set by scramjet - fair? by
Don French
How fast was the rocket going when it released the record-setting
scramjet? If the rocket was going Mach 9 in the thin atmosphere at
100,000 feet and released a stone, for example, the stone would travel
several seconds at close to Mach 9. I assume that the rocket was not
going Mach 9, but I...

somewhat to do with it. The airplane I usually fly with, a Piper Arrow
from the local flight school and FBO, crashed on landing during a

the left 10 feet over...

G-1: which is considered "the original" by
Kai Glaesner
Hello,
I would like to buy a G-1 jacket (the one with the "fur" ;-) There are a
variety of vendors (Avirex, Sporty's,...) on the market offering this items.
