1) I have a friend who needs to go practice some IFR approaches to stay current. I am a private pilot ASEL. I'm pretty sure that it is not a problem with me being his safety pilot but he told me I can log the time PIC. Is this correct? Yes but... Since you will not be the "sole...

1) Where is Charlie Nixon? He is an old flying buddie. Former Navy F6F pilot, Airline and NASA Exec. Lived in DC area. We are QB members. He was my sponsor. I moved to Houston TX and still have his landing gear from a 1947 Bonanza he owned. I want to give him his gear. 2) About spins: I am...

It came up in another forum that O'Douls ( a non-alcoholic beer ) is not truly non-alcoholic, but rather it's less then .5%. A reference to a http://www.drugs.indiana.edu/publications/iprc/factline/lowalc.html tells more and points out that these types of beverages are not considered alcoholic...

Long story but some financial doldrums I've experienced for the past year look to be coming to an end. I sold my way-too-big house and am getting into something less insane. Business is recovering and, I dare say, rocking. My purdy wife still loves me. Life is good. More importantly, soaring...

I'm trying to get a garage sale Garmin GPS 90 going and it won't acquire satellites. It starts saying "SVA Cycle 9607 20 June 96 to 18 July 96". 1996 was a while ago. Is there something in this unit that needs to be updated? -- Roger Long

A guy named "Oshkosh Jerry" has posted an absolutely stunning MP3 file of the gorgeous Boeing 307 Clipper starting up at Oshkosh. It's over on the binary channel, "alt.binaries.pictures.aviation". It's a huge download, but well worth it for anyone who loves the sound of four big round engines...

Slightly OT but has anyone ever used a Suunto watch while flying? I'm thinking about getting one for my climbing /skiing etc. and it dawned on me that the 3' altimeter (supposedly accurate to 29000') might be a handy back-up. Just wondering Cheers, Kit

Just returned from Oshkosh to NY. Due to some "interesting" weather along the route, it took 2 days and multiple stops, with some legs having to be IFR. Every FBO along the way was super, and at virtually all of them I bought either fuel or something else. However, at MMU, where I wanted to make...

I'm about to make my first cross country outside of our comfortable New England airspace where flight following is pretty much automatic and you just keep tuning in the next frequency they give you. I'm not sure if things will be the same out in the wilds of western New York and Ohio. Can anyone...

Geeze, that seems pretty fast. John Y. PP-ASEL

Any hints or tips on flying into KSGU? I have the route planned from KEDW - DAG - LAS - MMM - KSGU. How about FBOs, fees, etc.? Casey

Have you checked into Destination Direct? Runs in Wintel, has the ability to support most GPS in real-time, has the capability to display current charts, and supports flight-planning both VFR and IFR.

I am headed to KC next week and will be landing at OJC. Haven't been there in 27+ years. I got my commerical there at the community college. What is the FBO to use? Ross

I was surprised by the acceptance of an HTML post in another thread. I, for one, could read the HTML fine. Others said the same thing. Has the time come for HTML in the newsgroup(s)? My (change is bad - we fear change) vote is no HTML ... for now. I'm being fuddy-duddy with my reason: I get...
