I stopped by the airport when I was out running errands this morning. Probably 90% of the aircraft had their tails on the ground with their noses in the air. I thought, that sure was thoughtful of the line crew to tie the tails down so the sno would slide off. Then I drove out to the ramp and saw...

Now that it appears that George Bush has been re-elected with a true majority of the popular vote (the first president to do so in 16 years), let me be the first to extend an olive branch to those here who may be disappointed in the results. What has made America strong, and allowed our democracy...

Among other aircraft I've been looking at the Zenith Air STOL CH 801 lately, which attracted my attention purely as an inexpensive and eaily built plane to cart my family around. http://www.zenithair.com But the advertised 390-ft fully-loaded ground roll got me fantasizing about all the...

When I was in high school (and dinosaurs walked the earth) a science museum in my home town held a paper airplane contest. One of the events was a duration aloft contest, which was conducted by launching the planes off of a second-floor balcony that overlooked the museum's atrium. One day while...

1. Like there are crosswind landings, are there crosswind takeoffs too? If yes, what's the procedure of takeoff? 2. In crosswind landings, it's recommended that one lands on only the upwind wheel.

What is the etymology of Tango Uniform? I'm guessing "tails up" or "tits up" but anyone know for sure? -- Jim Fisher

I fly out of O61 (near Sacramento). Because our airport is 1000 feet above Sacramento our weather (fog) tends to be different from Sacramento. My partner and I end up driving up to the airport sometimes just to find the weather isn't what we expected. What does it take to get an AWOS? Has anyone on...

While we were awaiting takeoff clearance at Khartoum recently, an Ilyushin IL76 Syrian Air cargo plane landed. Just prior to touchdown, it kinda flattened out from its nose-down final and clearly did a 3-point landing. I was looking at the plane from my starboard window seat. During flight, I had...

A commercial pilot I was chatting up recently told me that, in most European countries, the use of forward thrust is illegal. Makes me wonder what would happen if a 747 was instructed to land and hold short but the craft can't be brought to a halt (because of, say, an error in landing beyond the...
