I was recently on a flight where I was able to listen to the Pilots speak to Air Traffic control. It was quite fascinating but I understood very little of what they were saying. Does anyone know of a good resource for their terminology? Also, I was wondering if anyone knew what the following...

OK, This sounded a little strange to me, but during lunch today with some co-workers, someone asked if I knew of some rules regarding interstate construction.

Hi, Does anyone have experience flying around HI? I'm going on vacation there and have a 182 scheduled for 2 days and am hoping to hear about some, "Don't miss this" spots from people who've done this before. Thanks in advance for any replies. z

I hadn't flown in 7 yrs until last week when i went on a vacation. My question is that the plane i flew in had the tips of its wings bent or inverted upward. I had never seen this before. Someone told me that this was done to save fuel, but is that it?
