Early Thanksgiving morning I saw the clouds starting to form. They run parallel to the the Sierras and indicate that the "Minden Wave" is taking shape. This gets the glider pilots excited, but makes me a bit nervous. My wife's family was driving down from Reno for Thanksgiving, and her brothers...

One thing - one of so very many things - I learned in my five years of flying is that partisan politics does not fit into the cockpit. Most of my flight instructors have, I know, been to the right of me politically. I had a most enjoyable flight with CJ - although he has since earned my...

Check out http://makeashorterlink.com/?F44F312E9 This is a great new (to me, anyway) aviation weather link. It has everything I need in one easy-to-read format. I especially like the graphic, hour-by-hour depiction of ceiling and visibility -- something I've not seen in other weather...

Just wondering if anyone here had experience (good or bad) with Vertex handheld transceivers. I'm about to buy SOMETHING, but I'm not sure whether or not I'm gonna stick with the standard ICOM. thanks for any opinions. jf

How fast was the rocket going when it released the record-setting scramjet? If the rocket was going Mach 9 in the thin atmosphere at 100,000 feet and released a stone, for example, the stone would travel several seconds at close to Mach 9. I assume that the rocket was not going Mach 9, but I...

Unfortunately accidents do happen, but it was the first time I had somewhat to do with it. The airplane I usually fly with, a Piper Arrow from the local flight school and FBO, crashed on landing during a cross-country flight to Florence (Italy). The plane suddenly banked to the left 10 feet over...

Hi guys, A couple of days ago, I had this fantastic opportunity of flying in the cockpit, from start to finish, on a 3-hour flight from Almaty to Atyrau in Kazakhstan in an A320 that our Company had chartered. I was in the jump seat between the captain and FO. There was a crew of 6 and there were...

Is there any small airline that is running regular passenger service between San Jose and Sacramento? What about any city in the Bay Area and Sacramento? There was an outfit out of Mather that was supposed to be doing this with a Cessna Caravan, but their web site appears mostly abandoned and...

The Canadian and US regulations state reporting procedures and the conditions under which a accident plane can be moved. But what is the procedure for this scenario: Two planes are involved in a midair enroute from Canada to the US. The midair happens in Canadian Airspace but the planes land in...

We will be in Las Vegas in February. We rented a Cessna 172 last year and did the Hoover Dam, Lad mead, Grand Cayon thing. Where do we go this year? Are there any good $100 (or more) hamburger destinations nearby or other sights we should see? - - - Al 1964 Skyhawk SFF/Spokane WA --

Hey everybody, I'm a lurker to these forums but I found a pretty neat piece of software I've been playing around with for the past couple of days. Google last week bought a company that produces this software called Keyhole. Bascially it's like Terraserver, which streams satellite images for...

In a previous thread: "Icebound" wrote in message ... ... a look at the altimeter provides you with *indicated* altitude. It only shows *pressure* altitude if the altimeter setting is set to 29.92

Does anyone know of an online source for the C-172 POH, perhaps in ..pdf format? Thanks, JC

Hello, I would like to buy a G-1 jacket (the one with the "fur" ;-) There are a variety of vendors (Avirex, Sporty's,...) on the market offering this items. Is there one vendor that is considered producing the "original" G-1? Or one that supply's the armed forces? Or one that is simply outstanding...
