Page 4A High-tech gizmos propel aviation into the future Target: Improved navigation and communications By Alan Levin USA TODAY DANVILLE, Va. - The future of aviation went on display here this week, and it's not afraid to talk back to pilots.

I just thought I'd follow up on my post a couple of weeks ago about starting on my commercial. I did come to the conclusion that because my long x/c time was not "solo" that I had to do some more flying. I chose to fly the following route: Palo Alto, CA (KPAO) to Klamath Falls, OR (KLMT) to...

Hello all! My medical expires in July so it's time to play that game again. Although I like the AME I visited last time, he's 1,000 miles away from where I am now so I'm hoping to find someone closer :^) Anyone in northeast Massachusetts would be good, but close to Bedford would be best to...

Hallo, eine Frage an IFR-Spezialisten: Ich fliege begeistert und immer mehr routiniert mit dem FS2004. Um etwas mehr Hintergrundwissen zu bekommen, habe ich mir auf der AERO einen Flugrechner (den rechenschieberähnlichen) gekauft. Ich habe auch alle Probleme und deren Lösungen begriffen, nur das...

I'm looking for recommendations concerning an FBO to rent from and an instructor to fly with. My preference is to rent a...

Would Spirit of St. Louis or Creve Coeur airport be closer to the theme park? Can anyone recommend a decent "suites" hotel to stay at that's handy to the park? Is there any kind of decent transportation to/from the park? Thanks! -- Jay Honeck

I just returned from an 8-day tour of the midwest. This was a 6-leg circular route west to Des Moines from Chicago, then up to the Dakotas, back through Duluth, Green Bay. We mostly flew at 7000 ft. We had 20-30 knot headwinds on 5 of the 6 legs and never once a tailwind.
