Lingerie is a term for women's fashion underwear. It derives from the French word 'lin' for linen. While the term in the French language applies to all underwears for either sex, in English it is applied only to those women's underwears designed to be visually appealing or erotic, typically...

Good one. But what really happened to the plane? Looks like it got attacked by a giant can opener. Marc "Bertie the Bunyip" wrote in message ... He finally gets to try out his favorite airplane and when he starts

Today's Wall Street Journal contained an article on AirBus. With the Paris Airshow less than a week away, there are only 13 firm orders.

Since I have to overhaul my O-360 engine I am trying to assess the facts and old wive tales about using higher than 8.5:1 pistons. I am not concerned about running autogas. I fly at high altitudes. Usually 10500'-12,500' and up to 17,500' when over the Rockies. My home airport is around 6,800'...

I have to admit, all of this fighting for our piece of the sky does at times begin to wear away one's enthusiasm for aviation. The latest news is that the US military is now attempting to significantly expand the MOAs in northern NY to include at least one important Victor airway that would...

Does anybody have any real world data on this piston version of a vacuum pump? http://www.sigmatek.com/1U478-003/1U478-003%20Introduction.htm I do not have an installation that readily allows a wet pump, and most of the folks on our field believe that dry pumps are the worst idea that have...

This is rich. The American Civil Liberties Union, also known for its staunch support of the North American Man-Boy Lovers Association (NAMBLA), just filed a suit of Boeing's Jeppesen subsidiary. The reason? The ACLU is accusing Jeppesen for providing flight services to the CIA, which Boeing...

Just spent the day at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, OR. (around an hour SW of Portland) It is an unbelievable facility, and rivals the NASM in terms of the displays and collection. The original Spruce Goose is the main feature, but they have a B-17, B-25, A-26, F-100, F4U, etc....

So I went for a lovely flight yesterday, from Bedford (KBED) down to Nantucket (KACK) for dinner. We flew down there in the last hour or so of daylight with a smooth ride and great views, and then returned at night with an even smoother ride and great night-time views, including a few circles over...

For me, the up front and ongoing costs of an XM weather equipped handheld GPS put it on the wrong side of the value curve. I simply don't do enough long X/C's to justify (ok, to rationalize) spending that kind of money. But, if I could rent one for $50/day or $200/wk, that might make sense for...

I was listening to LiveATC.net's feed of Syracuse, NY, yesterday (Sunday) during the approach of a large thunderstorm line that was moving towards the airport from the south. At one point a VFR a Cessna 172, approaching the airport from the west, checked in stating his intention to land at SYR. As...

Maybe someone with more understanding of the commercial carrier flight plan processing system can explain what I heard on MSNBC moments ago.... Extensive flight delays are occurring at Newark, LaGuardia, and JFK due to a computer problem in Atlanta that failed to relay flight plans to...

Our city council was told last night by the mayor that a fire truck was going to have to be placed and manned at KELD because of "a federal mandate requiring fire-fighting personnel and equipment be posted at the airport 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the take-off and landing of each...

Went up again on Saturday morning. I arrived, ready to do a dual flight to knock of the remaining items yet to be covered, but instead found that my instructor had been double booked with another student who was yet to solo. The wind was very, very light, and pretty much across runway 17, so I...

Just look at the drops of avgas consumption: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/hist/a403600001m.htm Oh, my God. That is incredible. And awful. I wonder if those sales figures from the 1980s included military aircraft? There used to be lots of military hardware burning avgas --...
