Skylune
These are the attributes the Destroyer uses to describe the new
Transportation Secretary. He then says he intends to "educate" her on the
issue of user fees.
LOL. If these are truly her attributes, she will promptly show the
Destroyer the door, as her fellow Arizonan, John McCain, has...

"License to taxi" by
Mxsmanic
In the movie _Airport_ (1971), the airport manager mentions that Joe
Patroni, the miraculous mechanic who gets a stuck 707 off the runway,
is "licensed to taxi." Is there really such a thing as a license to
taxi??

"Mermaid" question by
AJ
Has anyone flown the Sport Aircraft Company's "Mermaid"? If so, what
are your impressions of it? Is it as unwieldy as it seems in the
company's videos? (It's at

shooting photos of the fall colors around our town), I was instructed to
taxi via H to N to RN tie-down. P, the taxiway normally used to reach N

"Must-Have" Podcasts? by
Kai Glaesner
Hello community,
since I'm commuting a lot and aviation related content is rare on the
air, I got used to listening podcasts while in the car.

"Over time, Mogas deteriorates faster than Avgas" by
Jay Honeck
This from a thread in rec.aviation.owning:
Leave unleaded mogas in your lawnmower for a year, and it
likely won't start. Autogas lacks the stabilizer package found in
avgas.

planes, but I've never seen a cite, nor have I...

"Pilots for 9/11 Truth" by
Orval Fairbairn
Over on alt.politics.usa is a thread called "Pilots for 9/11 Truth",
with the usual collection of kooks and loons seeking "TRUTH".

"Raptor Force" on PBS by
Jon
Pretty interesting look at how several 'air superiority' birds are
designed and operate:
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/?s=raptor+force
If you haven't already seen the show, it's been airing on PBS'
"Nature" recently and is worth a look.
