Reading Airshow by
john smith[_2_]
Who here remembers the Reading Airshow and can share their memories
about what it was like and compare it to other shows of that time?
I missed it by a year, as it was discontinued shortly after I obtained
my certificate.

Photo of Lt. Kevin Davis and Harrison Ford by

Here is a photo I took of Lt. Kevin Davis at Oshkosh last year after
he had given a ride to Harrison Ford (in back seat). Kevin perished
in his F-18 in the recent Blue Angels accident. He looked like a very
nice guy when I saw him last year, what a sad...

Low flight and wildlife by
Mxsmanic
I see on a sectional chart a box that says "The Islands, Rocks, and Reefs
along the Pacific Coast-Line from 42°00'N to 46°00'N are National Wildlife
Refuges. Low flights may disturb wildlife resulting in a violation of Federal
law."
Unfortunately, the chart doesn't say what constitutes "low...

I took my first light in an LSA (somewhat long) by
[email protected]
Last Friday at Sun-n-Fun I wandered around a number of LSA's. I've
been reading about them for a couple of years and was curious. The
idea of C-172 performance (for your typical $100 hamburger run) and
1/2 the fuel cost or less is really appealing.
Several that I sat in were just too small. I'm...

dumb question about Radio comms / opening flight plans by
[email protected]
I'm embarrassed to say that I have forgotten something. When I want to
open my flight plan, and I look at the frequencies printed above the
VOR, it says 122.1R 122.4. Does the 'R' refer to what I need to do or
what the Radio operator does? That is, do I send on 122.4 and receive
on 122.1, or the...

soon after our long thread on the same topic. Many of their
conclusions were the same as ours.
Also, strangely enough, there's another article this month on "Flying
GA to Memphis", in order to visit Beale Street and all the...

Variations in soft field landings by
Maxwell
I was taught to lift the flaps immediately upon touch down on soft field
landings. My instructors stated getting more weight on the brakes as soon as
possible, would facilitate a quicker stop than leaving the flaps down for
drag, and loosing some braking power to the extra lift.
However, during...
