PPL skills add-ons by Richard Ogley
Hi Guys, As a newly licenced GA PPL I was wondering what this group's views were on how much general flying would be appropriate before I think about training for any endorsements or ratings? Obviously I need higher skills to get something like a night rating, and would (say) 50 hrs of weekend...

June 4 AOPA Fly-In & ADIZ incursions by [email protected]
Seeing as the big AOPA shindig is in Frederick, MD this weekend, anybody wanna guess how many GA pilots bust the D.C. ADIZ? In spite of AOPA's publishing the arrival procedures I'm thinking Saturday will be a busy day for the Air Force...

Deke Slayton Airfest by [email protected]
Anyone know if "fly-ins" pay regular admision for this airshow (or for that matter ANY airshow). I have just gotten current after several decades of not flying. Years ago pilots arriving in their own plane were never charged admission. I wonder it that's still true today?? Thanks oop

First helicopter landing on Mt Everest by Peter Duniho
I'm surprised there hasn't been any mention of this yet. IMHO, this isn't getting nearly enough attention (here or in the media in general). http://www.mounteverest.net/story/FrenchEverestMysteryChoppersUtopiasummit-VIDEOMay272005.shtml

Kapalua airport, Maui ? by Kevin Bailey
Does anyone know anything about Kapalua Airport (JHM), on the island of Maui ? Both the Hawaiian website and MS Flight Simulator mention it but the AOPA claims it doesn't exist. Does it have an FBO for planes for rent ? Yes, I know I could go to Kahului, but that's an hour drive and Kapalua will...

Solution to DAFIF data going away? by Paul Tomblin
A friend's blog entry (http://www.megginson.com/blogs/lahso/archives/2005/06/04/flying-databases/) pointed me to Wikipedia's airport entries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Airports), and COPA's "Places to Fly" page (http://www.copanational.org/PlacesToFly/index.php). And I got to thinking...

Another Intercept, but this time it's different by Flyin'[email protected]
I am sure we are all getting tired of the constant topics about intercepts, but I feel this one is a little different. Now it appears they are intercepting small planes for getting close to restricted airspace. That's right, not busting through the airspace, but getting close to it. I know we...

Stents??? by Paul Anton
On another group I monitor, the subject of stents came up. The are devices placed in the arteries of the heart to open them up. The gist of the conversation was, that those who had stents due to Coronary artery disease were at risk at high altitudes. Complaints of shortness of breath, chest pain,...

Class B busted...My problem or the controller's ? by Antoņio
Today I flew into KBFI (Boeing field) which is class D and has extentions that underlie the Class B that require close attention to altitudes and headings so as to stay clear. Today the winds were favoring 31L (and 31R) and I came in from the west on the Vashon approach--the most common approach...

Seattle Boeing and Museum of Flight PIREP by Jay Honeck
So, we flew the executive mail tube (United) to SEA-TAC last Friday, for my nephew's wedding. Getting up at 2 AM to leave by 3 AM, to arrive at 4 AM (two hours before flight-time) -- only to find the United ticket counter placarded "Opens at 5 AM" -- did NOT start the day well. Still, despite...

Long-weekend noise (trolls and real life) by Icebound
Notwithstanding the short shrift given to our "Memorial Weekend ruined" friend.... .... the school with which I fly prohibits circuits on long weekends. I am not exactly sure whether that is the School policy or the *Airport* policy..... but in any case, it appears that someone...

vacation w/ Kids by Robert M. Gary
My boys are seasoned Mooney travelers. This year I'm considering adding a trip to either Victoria Island or Catalina Island. My boys are 9 and 10 so I'm not sure if either of these could actually be made interesting. We've done so many trips, I'm having a harder time trying new things. Last summer...

Airline Pilot for a day? by [email protected]
Hi all, I seem to remember a few years back there was a program run by one of the airlines where for a fee of around $1500 or so you would go and train for a weekend on a Boeing 737 and at the end you would actually get to fly one for half an hour or so. Does anyone know if that program still...
