AOPA credit card --- WARNING. by
RS
If you have an AOPA/MBNA credit card then you should check the APR on your
last statements. MBNA has been raising the APR on AOPA cardholders, even if
you pay on time.
So check your credit card statements and call AOPA credit card services to
complain.
And also call MBNA to drop the rate back down.

Avgas Where is the ceiling? by
Doug Palmer
100 LL just jumped from $3.82 to $4.54 at our airport, and at HAF we
traditionally represent the lower costs for our area (SF Bay) Where will it
end? to the pessimists in the room this feels like the begning of the end

Cirrus and Lancair Make Bonanza Obsolete? by
Potential Bo Buyer
Why is the market for late model V35B's and F33A's so flat. The
economic climate (real and perceived) and 90's run-up have a lot to do
with it, I'll acknowledge that. But there seems to be something else
at work in this market.
Are the Lancair Columbia and Cirrus SR22 substitute products for...

Cherokee 235 vs Trinidad vs Comanche by

Hello, All!
About a year ago, I started airplane shopping. For personal and
professional reasons, I had to back-burner that after never getting past the
tire-kicking stage. Along the way, I got a lot of help from folks on this
board, so now I'm returning to the fount as I prepare to begin...

Too Old? by
Gezellig
Recently a 72 yo went blind in flight (stroke?) and safely landed in the
drink in FL. Several comments were that age should be considered in
keeping your PPL. I can see this makes sense /but/ it would prolly be
illegal.
Too old? If so, at what age do you place the cutoff?

After much thought and ponderance, I've come to the conclusion that to

and Elephants) isn't clever. By the time you get them to hang a meter
($5k), trench from the power pole to the end of the row of hangars, conduit

Club Management Issue by

First off, I'm not directly involved in this situation, but I am trying to
gain an understanding on how other FBOs and flying clubs deal with something
like it.
One of our club members was flying our 182 -- which the club leases from the
two gentlemen who own it -- and had what appeared to be an...

I don't have my ticket yet -- and I'm really committed because I want to buy
my own plane to train and fly -- and I want to take advantage of the tax
write-off about to expire at year end.
I've been at this since August.
But, hell, they're not making it easy.

We have a 1964 Cessna 172E with a Continental 0-300D. It has the
