Hi Quilly, Yes, schizophrenia is such a sad disease. It does amaze me that people like this somehow manage to carry on normally enough to not be institutionalized. Every once in a while the internet allows us a glimpse into the minds of the mentally ill. I really feel sorry for them. Randy...

Hello all, This may be a little off topic but I though I would ask here to start my quest. I am looking for information on a GPU Ground Power Unit. Can anyone here give me a source of information or have knowledge about a 28vdc @ 200 amp or greater. I have a customer that is looking to...

In the past few years, one (supposedly) successful flight training school dumped their Cessna fleet for Diamonds. http://www.eaa-fly.com/Training/Training.html I believe they do not have any aircraft that with standard instrumentation. Regardless, the conversation turns quickly to "Is this a...

We are installing a PT-6 on the top or on the nose of a 747! Can't tell you where or what company. Can you figure out why we would be doing such a thing? Doesn't a 747 go much faster than anything running a PT-6? We really don't know why this project is happening so I would appreciate hearing your...

Subject: Cockpit Voice Recorder Here is the transcript from the voice recorder from the Hudson River Crash starting after the bird strikes. PIC is a Pilot in Command, SIC is Second in Command, you all know who Sully is.

Flyers, I have the Garmin 696 which has SafeTaxi installed. The thing is that when I've landed at large airports (i.e. BWI, PHL, etc.) I can see the taxiways, but none of them have the Black-Square location designations. If I activate the curser and put the curser on the taxiway it will give...

We all want the aviation gods on our side (tongue in cheek) but Boeing and Airbus might as well put Allah in the checklist when the planes go to Muslim airlines. http://www.planecrashinfo.com/cvr040103.htm January 3, 2004 Off Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt Flash Air, Flight 604 Boeing B-737-3Q8

O.K. I am now a high-paid (ha!) a/c mechanic at a great company. Well, at least I'm making enough $ to afford re-currency. It has been nearly 10 years since currency (I have commercial/ instrument sel) so I am wanting to purchase some software for the purpose of re-learning & refreshing that which...

Thursday a Bearhawk, with three aboard, crashed near Anahac, TX (Just east of Houston). Pilot and owner was Billy Cox. Witnesses reported hearing the Bearhawk's engine sputter and seeing the plane take a sudden nose dive into a hay field in Chambers county. Condolences to the three...

It seems our friend in France is without his internet connection. According to his blog, he lost his internet connection, spent three days pay on a new reouter, and shortly thereafter lost his email and web server. I honestly hope it's a denial of service attack directed at him. That would be...

After a four-day trial, the Illinois Senate voted 59-0 to convict him of abuse of power, automatically ousting the second-term Democrat. In a second, identical vote, lawmakers further barred Blagojevich from ever holding public office in the state again. He was an accomplice to Daley in the...

Quite interesting.. this sort of machine can bridge the gap between GA and the practicality of using small airplanes for commuting. "Either way, it boils down to this: You sit down behind the steering wheel, drive to the runway, unfold two wings and take off. You can fly 500 miles on a tank of gas...

How is an "Aircraft Checkout" Logged in a Logbook? Is it considered "flight training"? Just trying to make sure I get all the right columns filled in my logbook for it. Thanks in advance! By the way, I was the one who was getting "checked out" (by an FBO).

Holy smokes! CNN is reporting an airliner went down in the Hudson after departing LaGuardia. I heard something about birdstrikes, but can't imagine a double engine failure due to that(?) They sure picked a cold day to go swimming... Hope everybody is ok...
