"I look with sadness on the Cessna with bees nests in its air vents, or the Mooney sitting on its rims with critters running in and out of it, and the Cessna 150, faded and gutted like a fish. I ask myself, how did it get to this? How could someone let their plane ´die¡ this...

This is background research for an article I'm writing. Can someone tell me whether the FAA (or other agency) retains a photograph of people who hold private pilot's licences in the USA? Sylvia.

Shameless plug for a new flight school in Plymouth (PYM). Yes, I am associated with the school. Pilgrim Aviation rents clean, well maintained 152s, 172SPs and a Warrior out of the main terminal building at PYM. We also have a new Skycatcher for sport and a Cherokee Six. Our "short" runway is 2000...

I'm a 200-hour private pilot and was wondering about torque and P-factor effects in high-powered aircraft, especially warbirds. From what I've read they could be significant, especially during takeoff and landing, and were a major reason for operational write-offs. Narrow-track gear were...

Word to the prudent - If you are ever thinking of doing a panel rebuild in your plane check out all others before going to A.R. Once bitten twice shy! N3437D

Just for the halibut, I thought I would take a look at good ol' rec.aviation, and was heartened to see some names I still recognize! Glad to see y'all are still here! Mary and I are now in sunny South Texas, on an island in the Gulf of Mexico called Mustang Island. We've created an aviation...

So, writing a story where a bunch of young college-age women discover some crated L-19s in a corner of a hangar. I'm planning that they assemble them under the watchful eye of a semi-retired pilot and A&P who can sign off on the FAA paperwork. Once the airplanes are assembled and flying, then...

Pay for your OWN traffic control. FAA has NO idle staff that works for free. EAA charges outragous prices for tickets and can afford to PAY UP. Sweet Jehovah, what a self important and arrogant bunch !!!

I know a guy who flew his Ercoupe into JFK, so that it could be disassembled and shipped to Europe. I think they wanted him to arrive in the early morning hours, but he did it.
