Hi, I want to know whose response is to calculate weight and blance of an aircraft? Thanks for ur intst. JP

Thanks to all who took the time to look at my "mystery" airport photo. Seems the only mystery was on my end. It took less than 12 hours from posting for Paul Sisson of Litchfield Aerobatic Club to send in the correct answer. At least it's the correct answer in the opinion of several who...

I flew in to Danbury yesterday morning and had to hold for 15 minutes because the field was closed due to "an incident". After landing I found out from my A&P that a Warrior had lost power on takeoff and spun in when the pilot attempted to return to the field. A witness I spoke with described the...

In another post about the fabulous new Udvar-Hazy Center (part of the National Air & Space Museum), frustration with not being able to fly into this terrific new facility was evident. I personally find it appallingly ironic that museums which purport to glorify flight are not accessible...

I have been contacted by the manager of our local flight school about the opportunity to partner with an owner of a Bonanza V35B. Apparently, the owner is looking to purchase a helicopter and would like to ensure the V35 sees regular flying as well as offset some of the costs of the aircraft. His...

Ok, guys, last year was the centennial of flight. All the publishing companies made new print runs of old books and released a few new ones. Now that we're into the new year, these are hitting the remainders outlets. Here's a sample. 1. Unlocking the Sky: Glenn Hammond Curtiss and the Race to...

Hello My family has an aerial photograph of an airport we need help to identify. It was taken by my late father-in-law sometime in the 1960's. At least that 's our guess. Could be a little later; and maybe even a bit earlier; we just aren't sure.

Can someone explain why the 2 choices? How would you decide which route to take? And what choice should be made? and why? Thanks, Mark

My cousin just bought a Schweizer 1 36 sailplane. We took it to the airport today where he is going to hanger it today, and put her together so the FAA could give the stamp of approval with the airworthiness certificate. Looks like the sailplane could be alot of fun. I have never been around...
