Wow, a B727 at Meigs Field! Nice video on YouTube of a United Airlines B727 landing at Meigs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV4tgjSPgks Did they have commercial flights into Meigs Field at one time? I only ask because of the TWexpress plane that is visible in one of the video shots seen, not...

Schematic Needed Technisonics Model TFM-403 (Or TFM-30 or TFM-138) UHF FM Air to Ground Radio. I am trying to troubleshoot an early serial number radio (25 KHz BW) that has a display multiplex problem. Only the upper left quadrant works and only briefly for about 30 seconds. The other 3/4 of...

GNS 480 and the 430. My Bonanza has a MX 20 and I was told I should hook it up to a 480.

Looks like this Friday I may be picking up a family member on the way to KHYA. I'll be leaving from KTTA in NC and we're trying to decide which airport would be better to pick up a pax at in a C172. The choices are KBOS, KPVD, or KIAD (she's in Syracuse and will have to fly commercial to one of...

I'm going to be out in Colorado this summer and would like to do some mountain flying and maybe get my BFR done at the same time. I'll be staying in Breckenridge but I can drive down to Denver if I have to. Any suggestions?

I recently discovered this recording called "Song Pilot". I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in flying music. It's a bit countryish, but I loved all the tunes. No, I am not afiliated to the artist. http://www.avialantic.com/airsquare/songpilot.html

http://www.sun-n-fun.org/content/interior.asp?section=flyin&body=exhibitors That's a pretty impressive list! (I didn't count 'em -- the "500" comes from the SNF website...) It looks to me like SNF is rivaling OSH more and more in both size and scope. I hope it never loses its more laid-back...

"Jay Honeck" wrote in message ... It's interesting to see AOPA doing a piece on "Flying in Europe", so soon after our long thread on the same topic. Many of their conclusions were the same as ours. Also,...

My dad drives along the south side of OKC to work every day and his OAT in his car always goes a few degrees colder around the where the extended centerline for the runways would intersect the road. Then it goes right back up after he is through that area. He thinks this is because the...

I have always thought that people were just getting their magazines well in advance of me. The electronic version is available before the print one gets to your doorstep. It's kind of irksome because I find I'm reading the same thing twice. Jose --

Once again, I'm not a real pilot. Yesterday my daughter was confronted at school by some (6th grade) classmates, they said her father was not a real pilot. To give you a little back history, my daughter is so proud of her father that she's always telling anyone she meets that her father is a...

As many of you know, I'm currently on a "barnstorming tour" around the Eastern half of America, flying wherever the weather is best, and enjoying the scenery along the way. Since Sunday we've flown from Iowa City, IA to First Flight (Kill Devil Hills, NC), to Ocracoke Island, to Beaufort, NC, to...

I am not a pilot but have the greatest respect for those you are. Most here wish to share their pleasure with non-pilots and I thank you for your posts. But some wish to maintain an elitist group. Perhaps that elitist behaviour reduces the support you may have from non-pilot members of the...

What a period of weather! We've been forced to cancel 5 scenic airplane rides in a row, over the last week, due to high winds, low ceilings, and bad visibility. Needless to say, we've had a lot of disappointed couples who were really looking forward to a romantic sunset ride over the city. ...

FAA'S BLAKEY: "CHANGE IS NEVER EASY" FAA Administrator Marion Blakey has been spending a lot of time on Capitol Hill the last few weeks, trying to build support for her new aviation user-fee funding plan. And she's getting a little tired of all the criticism it's been getting. "In recent...

Spring Break for my kids is this coming week. Five days with no plans, yet. We are looking at Montreal then Quebec and maybe New Foundland/PEI. Then there is Charleston and Savannah. Mammouth Cave in Kentucky, followed by Memphis or Nashville. Decisions? Decisions?

I have a KFC-200 autopilot in the aircraft I fly and I have always been able to fly a better approach by hand than the autopilot does. Just the other day while out doing practice approaches to a runway with a 12 kt crosswind on the surface and a pretty good wind gradient and turbulence from the...

I have a question for anyone out there that has a Lowrance 600c. When the light goes off is your display nearly impossible to see? I think I've got good vision but when the light goes off I can hardly see the display. I had an AirMap 1000 but returned it because I couldn't see the display...
