Where can I find a fairly complete flight deck from a large twin or small airliner? Before I make a proposal to buy something like this, I need to research the cost. We're planning to use it as a display and for educational purposes. If it is shorter than 13' tall we could build a trailer around...

Greetings. I am not a pilot, though some day I would like to start lessons. I live near TEB and CDW. I have two toddlers who love airplanes. At CDW, I have been able to find a place not on airport grounds where we can spot the planes taking off and landing. However, TEB is closer. At TEB, I...

Hi, am really hoping someone has the answer to this as I have searched google but to no avail. Does anyone know when televisions first appeared on planes and if so what plane was the first? Many thanks :-)

I've been reading a 1910 Tom Swift book - Tom Swift and his Airship, in which the dirigible is also outfitted with "planes" - i.e., wings. And of course that's where monoplane, biplane and triplane come from, though I confess I'd never connected the two. So, can anyone tell me when an aeroplane's...

I thought I saw this plane on So. Cal. a year or to ago. My recollection was that it was in great shape. http://images.traderonline.com/img/2/dealer/3028490/60128272_1.jpg I suppose it will live to fly again some day. Seems like a lot of dough for a plane that wrinkled, maybe it's not as bad as...

Good story worth reading http://airportjournals.com/PDF/WhenBrokersGoBad.pdf

In an effort to get some on-topic messages in RTA, I ask "What is your favorite airliner"? I remember a UA A320 I flew on a couple years ago to be quite pleasant. (And I ask if any of the many local trolls answer this message, you others please don't encourage them.) -- "I'll find Fry's coffin,...

Hey all, currently in class getting my A&P was wondering what you guys thought of what's new in the aviation field? Also if you have time please click http://283aajz2rb06-gtn2ctcqesj1x.hop.clickbank.net/ no need to buy anything, just testing to see if my sites analytic tool is working.

Everytime I'm near a BIG and busy airport I start to feel a little weak and lightheaded. Almost as if I'm going to faint but I don't. I never had a problem with emises or nausea and haven't yet vomited when I thought of sick thoughts and I never get motion/ sea sickness. I think to myself that...

Hi, Perhaps somebody here knows. I vaguely recall that back in the mid-late 80s there was a company that published calendars that always featured some beautiful woman posing with a very nice aircraft. I think they were called pilot pal's calendars or something like that. I've googled a bit but...

Jesus christ, the NexRad Radar station in Detroit is down AGAIN, and again (at the same time) so is Cleveland. What the **** is wrong with those stations? They work all friggin winter when there's no heavy weather and now in the summer seems that once a week those 2 stations are down for part of...

What type is the plane in the picture? http://nytimes.com/2003/10/27/national/27CND-FIRE.html

Issued in 1913, it was the first plane to ever appear on a stamp. Can anyone tell me what kind of plane it is? http://www.linns.com/howto/refresher/airmails_20030210/refreshercourse.aspx It's Figure number 7. (FIgure 8 is the Curtiss Jenny, the one famous for the "Inverted Jenny error....)

Hey folks! First of all - I'm new here so please excuse me if I'm doing something wrong and do point me in the right direction :) So I just wanted to ask you if anyone knows what the plane on the picture is - I just fell in love with it!...

I was browsing Google maps when I came across this image at Edwards AFB: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=34+N+119+W&ie=UTF8&ll=34.89991,-117.870474&spn=0.003968,0.010192&t=h&z=18 At the center of the photo is an aircraft with what appears to be an odd configuration. Does anyone...

I am currently a sophomore in college, accounting major. I have thought about either joining AFROTC and commisioning with their accelerated program and hopefully getting a pilot slot. I have also thought about enlisting in the ANG while in college and paying for some hours on the sides while...

In a commercial airline, I realize that the cabin is pressureizd, but I know that it is not kept at a sea level pressure. What effective "altitude" is the passenger cabin kept at? Is it the same for all air liners? The reason I am asking is that I have to use a CPAP machine to breath while I...
