copyright NASA, so it is copyright-free.

Good fuel stop on the way to Oshkosh by
Seneca Pilot
Hi,
I'll be flying to Oshkosh from the Washington, DC area this year. Two
years ago, I made a fuel stop at an airport that had a special deal
during the AirVenture event. I think the airport was just south of
Chicago. Does anyone know of a cheap place to refuel on the way...

AVIATIONTOOLBOX: recent FAA sectional scans by
Kyler Laird
When I got my first DVD of sectional images from the FAA I was
thrilled by the quality of the scans. I did, however, notice
that the sectionals had wide-ranges of colors to denote similar
elevations. This was especially noticeable out west where the
sectionals meet.
Lately I've noticed that some...

Flying jets at low altitude by
Roy Smith
It's always been my understanding that jets are inherently uneconomical
to fly at low altitudes because of the amount of fuel they burn down
where the air is thick. Now I read in the NY Times
(http://nytimes.com/2004/06/14/business/14CND-ARMS.html?hp) that Boeing
just beat out Lockheed for an...

Fuel efficient freight planes by
Jonas Heisenberg
Hi all.
Looked around a bit for fuel efficient (big, commercial) airplanes.
The best ones I found were the Tupolev TU-330 and the Antonov AN-70.
They had cruising speeds/fuel consumption of 780-850 km/h and 118-125
g/t-km. Now my question: would lowering the cruising speed to e.g.
300-400 km/h...

Where can I watch planes? (Northern NJ) by
TeleTechnician
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...

why even have windows, re new Boeing Jet by
Rob Mohr
Why even bother to have windows in a commercial jet?
A Boeing press release makes note of the larger than usual windowns
for their new 7E7 jet. Late model jets are full of video screens at
each seat. Why not use snythetic views of the outside? The view from
a window is limited. With video, all...

Why are gyrocopters so small? by
Kyler Laird
I see that the Fairey Rotodyne had a max. gross weight of over
32,000 pounds. The only gyro in which I have time was close to
2% of that weight. It's been years since I've been to a PRA
fly-in, but I only recall seeing *little* (two-person max.)
aircraft - much lighter than the 5200 pound...
