While I was watching the news from an international satellite, they showed a single-engine Piper that made an emmergency crash-landing on a highyay in Greece. When I saw it's registration number N-40899 I thought that it actually came from the US. (That's a heck of a trans-atlantic trip for single...

Has anyone made it a point to fly to the airport that shares its identifier with your initials? I was thinking it would be neat to find LAS and do a XC there, but then I realized I have already been there : ( -lance a smith aka Mr. McCarran International

I just found a program called RPMsound. It listens to your engine and tells you the RPM. I used this to verify my tach. It comes in versions for the Windows PC and the PocketPC. http://www.tunelab-world.com/rpmsound.html I also have a weight and balance spreadsheet in my PocketPC. I have some...

Everything was trimmed!! (-; Counterpoint to the Lightspeed QA 'issue': I have a 20XL and a 30XL. Both have performed flawlessly from the day I got them. Maybe I'm just lucky, but that never happens! To be fair, I don't listen to music in the air so I am unqualified to comment on the audio...

Hi, I know Cecil asked if anyone had a PIREP about the explosion a few days ago while chemicals were being mixed. Well, I flew over UTC today and this is what I saw. There are a bunch of buildings pretty close to each other. The building that was demolished was a couple hundred yards from the...

I am thinking of getting a portable oxygen system to use on the 206 and other aircraft that I fly. These hot summer days with high density altitudes in Idaho and Wyoming leave me gasping. Maybe it is just age. -- Christopher J. Campbell World Famous Flight Instructor Port Orchard, WA

"Squirrel" wrote in message I will be flying into Portland Hillsboro (HIO) for a few nights. Is there a transient area or must I park at an FBO? I will be walking to the Max/TriMet station, so the closer the better. Any FBO recommendations? Eagle Flight...

In another thread, someone mentioned that only 13% (or something like that) of the possible 3-letter combinations are currently used as airport identifiers. Given this fact, why in the world did they start mixing numbers into the scene? For example, why "C89" (for Sylvania Field, in WI) instead...

I know of several kitfox flyers that use this...It's called TCP here is one site with some info, but there are quite a few sellers. http://www.alcorinc.com/DOCS/1/tcp.html -- Yosimite Sam

I live in San Diego, and besides flying, I like seeing what is passing through the sky when I am grounded. I keep a pair of binoculars by my back door, and go running out when I hear an aircraft passing overhead. Several times over the last few months, I have heard what sounded like a small bizz...

A Cheetah I fly has a couple of these radios. The radios have been to the factory and supposedly meet specs, and the installation has been checked out by two different avionics shops with no problems, yet these radios sound terrible. They garble, distort, flutter, sometimes one or the other...

I was returning this afternoon from the first flight that I've been able to make since the end of July due to a busy work schedule and the Omega Block low clouds and daily strong thunderstorms we've been experiencing here in the New York area for the past few weeks. So after I landed and buttoned...

I am going to be in New York City next week and would like to take a trip down the Hudson River corridor. Can anyone reccomend a FBO to go to in the area to rent a plane and CFI? Thanks! Chuck Greensboro, NC

Hi everyone-The thread on airport identifiers is getting a little long, so I thought I'd start a new one.There doesn't seem to be any standards for naming airports, except for what the local pols dream up. JFK is obvious of course, and O'Hare is named after a Medal of Honor winner. (Posthumously I...
