I have a spare, brand new, never used Mecaplex sliding window for sale. It comes with installed pop-out vent scoop. $350 Includes first class USPS domestic shipping. An expensive piece of plexiglass, but still a $70 discount over what it costs at the store. Pictures available.

Student pilot on tow versus a blimp by kenward1000
Thought about this event recently. Beautiful fall Sunday afternoon in '89, Fremont, CA. I'd earned solo privs for a SGS 2-33, building up time towards the flight test. The 49ers were playing at home, someone is flying passengers around the SF Bay in an ex-Fuji blimp. I hear it's not cheap. ...

Looking for PA25-235 Carb Air Box by Larry Ruggiero
Our Pawnee’s air box has gotten pretty worn out, including a previous linkage repair. If you have a serviceable one lying around or know of a source, please let me know (don’t think anyone’s making new ones). Ours has the Brackett air filter mod but I don’t think that makes a difference....

OLC in Firefox? by Moshe Braner
In recent weeks/months I can load an OLC flight page OK in my off-beat browser (Pale Moon), but if I open the page in Firefox it never shows me the map of the flight, it forever says "Please wait, loading in progress..." in that part of the page. But it does show the text info of the flight. ...
