Can anyone point me to: 1) A good airband radio, for listening to commercial aircraft and CTAFs? I have a pretty good one, but it's old and analog so it's difficult to zero in on a frequency, and there can sometimes be 2 active frequencies that are only 0.025 MHz apart, so I'd like to go...

I have used a Microflo for 4000 hours now. I have found that unless you leave power on for about one minute after setting FOB, the gal remaining, or the fuel used, I can't remember which, will not be correct. Yes, it is EEPROM memory, and does not need power to hold data, but seems to need power...

I took a photo of a United Airlines plane in Detroit in March 2004. I'm wondering whether it is a Boeing 737 or Airbus 319 or 320? You can see it here. http://www.ackle.com/ebayualphotos.htm Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see it. Any help with this is appreciated. I sell some United...

Full disclosure - I am an 86 year old ex pilot,but my soul is still in the cockpit. Don't know how pertinent this is, but I got a lot of free time nowadays. Back in the late '60's we had a flying club - 3 planes including a 7AC Champ. An airline pilot temporarily stationed locally joined the...

I was thinking of dropping in to Grass Valley airport on Saturday to look at Rollins Lake, a place we may go this summer. Is there a way to get to the lake from the airport? Thanks, Bruce

Had to replace the cast iron/steel/whatever cylinder (Piper part 65319) on my cherokee a couple years ago because of a crack (which later was an AD, but my A&P caught it early). The shop presented it to me with the comment "it'll make a *great* lamp base!". Well, not for me. I don't think any of...

Seems I busted a VIP TFR Monday near Sacramento (VP Cheney was in town raising money for a couple of congressmen). On landing at my destination I was asked by the airport manager to call an ATC number, who got my info and said they would forward it to the local FSDO as a "pilot deviation". I'm...

Hello, I've been reading news on flying for quite a while and these seems to be the most well-informed groups (the googles)writer on the net.

I came across a photoguide to aircraft in the UK, it's not well advertised so you may not have seen it. http://www.ukskies.co.uk. It's got hundreds of aircraft types so it's worth a look. Does anyone know of any other good sites?

First impressions after viewing the main picture and extra features. It's quite professionally done, but ultimately it's not a flying or aviation DVD, it's the history of Van Nuys Airport. Thus, unless you're familiar with the airport--I'm not--it can be a little boring. I found myself hitting...
