from an ancient manuscript -- with apologies And it came to pass that Osama was exceedingly wroth with the people of liberty, and sought to establish a king over them. And when Boyer had heard of these attacks, and of the trodding under of liberty by the chief judges who were appointed to...

http://www.thesunlink.com/redesign/2004-03-08/local/420302.shtml I take students out over this area to practice every single day. The whole area is heavily forested (as is all of western Washington), but there are also several private airstrips, golf courses, farms, a pipeline right of way,...

"Those Magnificent Men & Their Flying Machines" (or "How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours Eleven Minutes") has finally been released on DVD. This appears to be a good print, retaining the original widescreen format. Bonus materials are pretty much the same as appeared on the...

Back in late 2002 and early 2001 I had a commercial student who was an Army Reserve helicopter pilot. He was called to active service for the invasion of Iraq and had to leave, but he finished his training in Mississippi and Texas before he went overseas. I had not heard from him since then and...

I posted several pictures that I took at the NWEAA Fly-in over on alt.binaries.pictures.aviation. I flew in with a few friends on Saturday morning. You can see such notable sights as Paul Anton and his Ercoupe and a 1917 Curtiss Jenny. I got to meet Paul's wife, Winona. I think Winona was a little...

AP is saying two Russian jets crashed less than six minutes apart. Both airplanes departed Moscow. One crashed 120 miles south of Moscow and the other is presumed crashed 600 miles south of Moscow. -- Christopher J. Campbell World Famous Flight Instructor Port Orchard, WA

Mt. Saint Helens erupted again today; fairly large eruption. It has been spilling magma onto the surface at the rate of 10 cubic yards per second for over a week (that is one dump truck of new mountain per second). I was up with a multi-engine student in his Cessna 337P and took this picture which...

This month's EAA calendar features an Aeronca Champ on skis. I don't fly much in weather that is THAT cold, so.... What is with the foxy covers on the prop? -- Christopher J. Campbell World Famous Flight Instructor Port Orchard, WA

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

This happened a couple of weeks ago. I was out with a pre-solo student doing maneuvers when we saw a Bonanza pass by us on his way to Shelton. We headed back to Tacoma Narrows and as we pull onto the ramp we hear the Bonanza requesting assistance from the tower because he cannot get a gear...

NAFI sent this alert to their members. Thought some of the rest of you might find it interesting. Instructional News FAA Proposes Flight-seeing Rule The FAA published on Oct. 22 a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that it claims will improve national air tour safety. Among other things, the

I can't remember where I read it, but I seem to recall that in the majority of fatal accidents the pilot knew something was wrong with the airplane before he even took off. It does seem like a popular trend reading through the accident databases. But can anyone point me to a study that...

Now, that was cool! Mythbusters pressurized an old DC-9 and fired a bullet through the wall to see if it would cause an explosive decompression. It didn't. Then they fired a bullet through the window to see if the window would shatter and cause an explosive decompression. The bullet only made a...

This proposal turned up on AVweb. It was sent to DOT as an idea on how to make flight instruction a more viable career path by allowing flight instructors to conduct limited air taxi flights without a part 135 certificate. I have rather mixed feelings about the idea, not least of which whether it...

Yesterday a local aerial photographer came in just fuming. Apparently he was working within the Seattle Class B and called FSS to get an update. He had a squawk and was in touch with Approach, of course. Anyway, FSS told him that they could not find his flight plan and that he was required to have...
