flying to your initials airport by
lance smith
Has anyone made it a point to fly to the airport that shares its
identifier with your initials? I was thinking it would be neat to find
LAS and do a XC there, but then I realized I have already been there :

Meigs reprieve 'compromise' !? by
Dr. Anthony J. Lomenzo
Ahhhh! There 'may' be a break-through at Meigs
and a compromise 'may' be reached with .... Mayor Daley!

What's that? I don't care for the guy...that's why! Or his ways. Or his
demeanor. Or his political machinations. Or his 'in your face' tantrums
when he wants his own...

FAR:Safety Pilot & High Performance/Complex? by
Jim
It is my understanding (always subject to correction) that as a safety pilot
you may log PIC time because you are indeed a required crew member for the
operation. However, to log PIC time you also must be qualified to act as
PIC of that particular aircraft.

Marine Radar in a plane? by
Jay Honeck
Yesterday, as we were once again flying blindly toward unknown weather, Mary
and I lamented the fact that we'll never have radar on board our Pathfinder.
Too expensive to contemplate. Ditto with the "live uplink" stuff that's
just coming on the market.
So, I thought, why not adapt a marine radar...

Cool flight to WI today... by
Jay Honeck
With Mary as PIC, we flew to our old hometown of Racine, WI today, for my
son's 13th birthday. Because of an unusually tall layer of scattered
clouds, we ended up at 9500 feet to get above 'em.
On course at this altitude, we flew smack-dab into the Sunday afternoon
arrival "train" coming into...

What's wrong with this idea? by
Ace Pilot
After reading the “Do you always file IFR?” thread, I
began thinking about some of the benefits of IFR flight that some
mentioned. The two biggest being that you can cruise at altitudes that
decrease your chances of colliding with a VFR aircraft and
you’re guaranteed flight...

Marine Radio using Aviation Antennae by
Wayne Paul
Doug,
Most aircraft antenna's are 1/4 wave length (about 22 inches.) A quarter
wavelength on marine frequencies is approximately 17 and a half inches.
This is out of the range of most handheld matching circuits. My conclusion
