We'd just gotten back from a trip yesterday and were out walking the dogs when I heard the sound of a powerful engine at high output. It kept on getting louder and louder and I began scanning to find out what it was. This is always hugely amusing to my wife, but she wanted to see too when I saw...

http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/Videos/F18KillA4.wmv I recently received this amazing video of an F/A-18 Hornet accidentally "shooting down" an A4 Skyhawk. However, I've received two conflicting explanations of what's happening he One version of the story says that it was an F/A-18...

I've seen that John Denker in his article advocating pilots to keep practicing recoveries from stalls and spins at a safe altitude... which prompts me to ask the following: 1. Since I don't think I've experienced a stall or spin before, is it a nice sensation to experience as a passenger, or...

I am planning on flying to Oklahoma City next week on business for a couple of days and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on which airport would be best. I have narrowed my choices down to the following: Downtown Airpark (2DT) Wiley Post (PWA) Sundance Airpark (HSD) I'll be flying...

Whew, it was a long day. I left the house at 5:30am for my 6:25a departure in a C172SP up to Canada. Sat all day in a business meeting, then departed around 6:00p, landing back home in the US at 7:30p tonight. Each way, the trip was around one hour and twenty minutes, thanks to a headwind in...

I am looking for an electronic POH of a PA-46 Piper Malibu Mirage. Anyone? Gerard Ververs:

I want to make a VFR run from New Jersey to Tennessee next Tuesday. It might be advantageous for me to pass through the Washington ADIZ just south of the no-fly zone. I believe that the procedure is to call up Baltimore approach, get a squawk code, and get permission to enter the class B. A few...

In the "good old" VOR days, it must have been pretty difficult to fly down the centerline of an airway (or of any direct track). So an eastbound VFR/IFR aircraft descending from 7500/7000 to his destination, was more than likely to avoid traffic... on the reciprocal track passing him by at 6500 or...

This past Saturday, I had the privilege of flying in a massed Veterans' Day formation at DeLand, FL. I was leading White Flight, consisting of my Johnson Rocket, a Comanche and a Bonanza. We had arranged to form up over Bob Lee Airport with Red Flight, consisting of an SX-300, a T-34 and and SBD...

Does anyone know what happen to the flight planning software bu Sriram Narayan or Tyler Kirby? I was able to download the instructions but no software is to be found at the perscribed addresses. Thank you Russ Bird

I was staring at the VOR-head during a flight a while back, and started wondering why we only use half of it most of the time. Whether by GPS or VOR, the CDI provides us with lateral navigation. But the glide slope needle sits unused until the very end of the flight (if then {8^). Why? Using...

Hi All, I was wondering if any of you out there know about companies that offer flying tours for pilots? An example of one such establishment is GOANA in Australia. He has 18 Cessna 172's. You just go out there and fly the specified tour. I would like to find more like that from all points on the...

I've received word from an old United pilot that they used to fly the Metropolitans into Iowa City until 1959 or so. Anyone here ever flown one? Can anyone comment on how much runway this plane would have needed? Also, anyone here ever fly for Ozark? They took over service into IOW from United...

1. In the other very well-discussed thread on the turning effect produced during banking, it was pretty much clear that yaw is almost inevitable during a bank. So what use the rudder at all? Or even the tail - surely not merely to house the elevators?? 2. Is there any advantage or disadvantage in...

Is it possible to land without using the flaps at all? Just a combination of the throttle (forward thrust too, perhaps?), elevator and ailerons... I know this will sound like a shocker but I'd appreciate a definitive NO, so that at least one doubt is bedded :) Ramapriya

When breaking in a new or rebuilt engine, does it matter if you run high MP/low RPM or high RPM/low MP at 70-75% power?

Hello, I am back. http://www.geocities.com/abhi_yaan I built this action device for generating unidirectional force for reactionless propulsion of body. As everybody knows, loss of matter is the problem with Newton's third law of motion. We have sources of energy like sun out there in space. But...
