As a physician I was curious if Fossett and his team had any concerns about "the economy class syndrome", ie-deep venous thrombosis...? I suppose they could have given him a shot of Lovenox or some other low molecular weight heparin. Or not. Ryan Wubben Madison, WI

No, not a Van's RV-6A. I'm talking about a Winnebago! Anyone ever rented one of these big hogs for a family vacation? I'm thinking of driving the family to Cape Canaveral for spring break this year, and it would be kind of cool to "carry the house with us", as it were... Who rents these...

Or a big propeller. Now that our conversion to an aviation theme-suites hotel is almost complete, we think it's time to make the *outside* of the place look more aviation-ish. (We've only changed the inside, thus far.) Anyone know where I can find an old Cessna 140 (for example) fuselage...

I haven't been able to get on www.EAA.org all morning... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Here's food for thought. The pilot chose to press on on three engines, and then had to land for refueling ~100 miles short of his transatlantic destination. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-britair1mar01,1,2497317.story March 1, 2005 By Eric Malnic and Hector Becerra, Times Staff Writers

In German there are two songs which could be considered the anthem of aviation: The upbeat "Flieger, grüß mir die Sonne" ("Pilot, greetings to the sun") from the movie "F. P. 1 antwortet nicht", 1932, sung by Hans Albers (http://www.drachenflieger.org/media/flieger/index.htm) And the more...

I was flying over Colorado in FS 2004 the other day and was thinking, if this were a real plane and I were too loose power, what would really be nice would to have the GPS tell me which of the airports had the steepest glide to get to it. It would be trivial to have a feature like that. Do any of...

Last week a close friend and crop duster died as a result of injuries when he experienced an engine failure after takeoff. He put it down just fine, tore off the tailwheel and the gear stuck into the mud causing an extreme short field stop. the gear was bent back under the tail area, his seat belt...

Anyone flying in the St.Pete's area, my wife and I arrive March 28. Like a local flight. Dave Kitfox

Does anyone know how to download planned routes from Flitestar to a Garmin 430? The only way I found is to key it in again which is pretty cumbersome. What's the best practive here? I am grateful for every bit of good advice! Herb

A good friend is grieving the sudden loss of another friend from a plane crash about a week ago. Neither the pilot nor the sole passenger survived. With very little information to go on with... I'm wondering what could have had been the possible factors into such an accident. I am sure the NTSB...

Me: 240 hr PP-ASEL, minding my own business, doing touch & goes at an untowered field, and scrupulously calling my position in every leg of the pattern. The offender: pilot of a small Citation jet. I saw the Citation taxiing toward the active as I was downwind. I watched the plane carefully...

Forgive something a little off topic for the group. Thought that some fellow pilots would want to know about this effort to save Star Trek Enterprise from cancellation. It is a very serious effort, and not just "trekkies". There is an active campaign to raise money to finance a fifth season that...

I'm looking at buying into a partnership. The plane is a Piper Lance (6 place, complex single engine). From you Piper drivers, particularly those who have Lance experience, is there anything I need to know about? I asked an IA about 6 place aircraft and he told me that C210s I was looking at tend...
