Things to do along the way...or when I get there! by
[email protected]
Do any of you know of a good website to search for good places to fly
and fun things for pilots to do? I'm not just looking for $100
hamburgers, although that's welcome, I'd like more things like aviation
museums and picnic grounds. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

Just been checking the latest FAA knowledge testing requirement matrix
to see what the sign off requirements are for the instructors tests.

Boeing to cease 757 production by
Capt. Doug
There was a one paragraph blurb in the business section this morning that
Boeing will shutdown the 757 production line late next year. Is the
