Waddling Eagle, by the Wizard of Draws by
C J Campbell[_1_]
Jeff Bucchino, the Wizard of Draws, has created a cartoon rendering of
"Waddling Eagle," the "World Famous Flight Instructor." I love it. This
means a great deal to me.

Harvey Field Endangered by
C J Campbell[_1_]
It appears that Harvey Field (S43) in Snohomish County, WA, is in
serious trouble. Basically, Federal surveys have re-mapped the flood
plain and errors in the new map have placed Harvey Field within an area
where industrial development is now restricted, despite the fact that
the existing...

E6B for iPhone? by
C J Campbell[_1_]
The iPhone and iPod Touch have no way of downloading an application to
it -- you use web-based applications for them. The iPhone, of course
has both wi-fi and phone access to the Internet; the Touch has only
wi-fi. The browser on these devices allows you to keep several pages
open. Once open,...

Speaking of D.B. Cooper... by
C J Campbell[_1_]
Seems some guy from Minnesota, Lyle Christansen, is convinced that his
brother Kenny was D.B. Cooper. Kenny Christansen is in fact a dead
ringer for Cooper, was an army paratrooper, bought a house in Buckley,
WA, with cash that he never explained where it came from, and he worked
for Northwest...

Cessna 350 / Cessna 400 by
C J Campbell[_1_]
Cessna is now selling the Columbia 350 and 400 as the Cessna 350 and
400. If you want to order one, talk to me. :-)
Seriously, 350 and 400? Might be a little confusing for the owners of
certain twins.

Also on the same page as the video of the fire at Mojave and the
helicopter collision in Phoenix.
Been a bad couple days all around in aviation.

Heart trouble by
C J Campbell[_1_]
It appears that I am having a little bit of trouble with my heart. It
came on rather suddenly, as an EKG last December showed no problem at
all. But apparently I have developed something called an atrial
fibrillation. It doesn't look good for my flying status, but we shall
see.

Flying Car Spotted at TIW by

Sunday night a couple of the boys (names withheld to protect the
guilty) were celebrating late, for the 'morrow was a stand-down. Taking
the active in a blue Pontiac Grand-Am, they went roaring down the
runway at speeds in excess of 100 mph. Departing the north end of the
runway the car flew...

Cost of gas is beginning to hurt by
C J Campbell[_1_]
It cost me more than $40 at Costco yesterday to fill my gas tank. I
figure it costs me at least $10 in gas every time I drive to the
airport -- and I have a hybrid car. I am beginning to wonder how long
some of the younger instructors can keep this up.

Huh. No mention of av-gas taxes in either of these articles, nor any
comment on what money-losers other transportation facilities like roads
are.

Helicopter crashes in Hawaii by
C J Campbell[_1_]
A Hell-USA Helicopter crashed at Princetown Thursday, killing the pilot
and three passengers. Then yesterday a Smoky Mountain Tours helicopter
crashed on Kauai. One person died of a heart attack, so the news media
are saying that it was a fatal crash.
There have been something like 8 helicopter...

Would you fly this Aircraft? by
C J Southern
I'd be interested in "go/no-go" opinions of others, based solely on the
following information ...
"Naturally aspirated, carburated, light twin (C172 engines) - hasn't been
flown for 3 weeks - at the conclusion of last flight was fueled to the max.

I'll go to the well one more time.
I may or may not get a panel-mount IFR GPS for my 172, that's a separate

Good Rutan interview by
C Kingsbury
At a time when Big Aviation (Boeing, Airbus et. al.) seem to be going out of
their way to make airplanes as boring as possible, it's nice to know that
the pioneer spirit of men like Howard Hughes is still with us.
