I recently started by Private Pilot training in Daytona Beach and love it. I actually never thought I would do as well as I'm doing and my instructor is hounding me about getting my medical as he things I should be read to solo very soon. First I'll admit it, I HATE DOCTORS!… What all is...

Jay, got a question- is your hotel's roof visible from the traffic pattern? I only ask because I just remembered a place we used to fly over every day when towing banners, they'd put a sign up on their roof for all (pilots) to read: http://www.pbase.com/image/22429281 Ever think of doing...

Thinking about a day trip from Iowa City to this museum in Topeka, KS, on Wednesday. Destination Direct says we'll be there in 1:44. Anyone been there? Is it worth the trip? Thanks! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993

Does anyone have any advice on how I should handle an airspace violation ? Whats t he procedure and what are the penalties. It was a first time offense. Here is what I wrote in the NASA Aviation Safety Reporting Form : A VFR flight was planned in depth with 4 waypoints from KBFI to KPDX....

Just got home from work and my ears are still ringing from standing next to 12 Olympus turbojets at idle thrust as the last three Concordes taxiied into the BA Engineering base and shut down to be towed to the retirement ceremony. This after standing on the 8th floor of the car park watching them...

About 3 weeks ago, I was awoke by a phone call from my mom letting me know that my cousin had been killed in a plane crash. Actually, both him and his girlfriend. For those of you who were at Oshkosh this year, you may have heard of him and his father, Ray and David Stits. David was killed...

Hi, So I didn't find many reviews of the Katana prior to my 'checkout' flight 'attempt' in one. This afternoon I took a 1.2 hr checkout flight with a CFI from Diamond Air (www.ksql.com) at San Carlos airport (KSQL). Summing up my opinion: If you're over 5'8", or have a long torso, forget about the...

I must admit, for years I have been doing such but never asked why. Why do I need to use left rudder to keep the nose straight during a loop? I have a US airplane, with normal prop rotation. If I do not use left rudder, the nose will yaw to the right. This is not due to P-factor? Thx in...

The last commercial flight of the Concorde (BA) will take place tomorrow when bird returns to England from the US. Lets all have a moment of silence for the passing of an era. Big John

....in the USA instead of 400,000 or so: There would be GA airports *everywhere*. They would be like beehives on the day before Thanksgiving. You could rent a T hangar for less than the cost of a 1 br apartment. The accident rate would be about the same but the fatal accident rate would be lower...

Okay, which one of you guys do I owe a beer to for sending our "Aviation Videos" URL (http://www.alexisparkinn.com/aviation_videos.htm) to "Autoweek Magazine"? I couldn't figure out why I was suddenly getting so many emails about this (formerly) little-visited page, until I was contacted by a...

I had an important photo shoot to do today in lower Manhattan . . . everything set to go and perfect weather. I call to make my usual coordination with the LGA Tower and Tracon and NYPD Aviation . . . Call FSS and find out there are 3 different TFRs in the NYC area today because the G.D. VICE...

Going to NY in a few weeks. What is the most convenient GA airport to land and take public transportation into midtown? Thanks, Michael

I flew into Logan (on a commercial airline) today and noticed as I have in the past flying myself that there is a fairly large airport with X'd out runways south of Logan. From a distance, I've occasionally mistake it for Norwood, and on the terminal chart it looks like it's near South Weymouth....
