I came across an interesting set of slides that go into considerable technical detail about the problems of coming up with a replacement for 100LL. The conclusion: Avgas 91/96UL (Unleaded), as apparently now available in Sweden. Check it out:...

The Cessna 150 prototype first flew on September 12, 1957 (source:wikipedia). With so many pilots having had thier training in a C150 or 152, I think it's fair to remark on the fact that the 150 turns 50 Years young today. Will it still be flying in another 50?

I've changed my gallery and now there are direct links towards the pictures in the gallery. Thus, if you want to show a picture and don't have your web page, as long as it is an air picture, you can use the gallery to make it available on the net, then post the link to access it. Try these ones...

I just decided to go back to Free Agent after a too-long absence and, alas, Forte has discontinued it to focus on their money-generating options. I looked at X News which sounds great, I was just wondering what ya'll use and like (BESIDES Google, thanks) before plunging into a download. OH - I...

Just let battery run down with the USB XM weather antenna connected. I did this to see how much battery life I would get with the screen set at half brightness (5+ hours), but when I reconnected external power, the unit begin an endless series of re-boots, never getting past the "I agree" lawyer...

I've read several reports online re the Air France crash at Toronto that there were thunderstorms in the vicinity (one account said "right over the airport") If so I'm curious why the captain didn't divert or hold away from the storm until it passed (fuel status?). If there was a storm nearby that...

Hello! Anybody here going to the Ozark Pitts Fly-in in Alabama next weekend? Me and three mates are coming over from the UK to join in the fun and find some reasonably warm weather! http://www.curtispittsflyin.com/ Shawn Pitts S-1D G-BKVP

Yesterday a coworker and I decided to fly out to Lancaster PA to their pilot shop because he wanted to look at purchasing a transceiver. This was our first time flying together, but we did do the ATOP course at Continental as a team. We decided that we would rent a plane from my FBO and that we...

Reading the recently released transcripts of the cockpit conversations, I was surprised by their callousness. One pilot observes that there are no runway lights, and the is "yeah". What??? When did this type of callousness creep into the cockpit? The attitude of "yeah, sure, whatever" does not even...

Wow, amazing, huge, inspiring, impressive, and a must see for any aviation enthusiast. The list of planes on display is unreal. F22 Raptor, B1, B2, B52, B36, huge array of the F100 series fighters, B29, B17.... the WWII display is great, not only does it cover the US fighters but it includes many...

Did my BFR yesterday and while going over the local sectional, I noticed something and asked the instructor about it. It was a dashed blank line, labelled 'underground pipeline'. Now I have to ask - why if it is underground, is it on the chart ? What is the possible value of it being there ? BTB
