Headset Microphone Quality by Marco Leon
So a question out to the group: which headsets have the best microphones? And the worst? Although I can't pinpoint the issue, I feel like my Lightspeed Twenty 3G catches too much background noise and I don't remember my other ones sounding the same. Marco

PSA: Don't be rude on the radio by buttman
I had two recent situations where other pilots thought they'd be cool by being condescending jackasses over the radio, which effected my ability to teach my student. The first time was when I was at a local uncontrolled field with one of my students to introduce solf-field takeoffs and landings....

Funny Story on the old Air Port Traffic Area by Danny Deger
Back before we called it class D, we called the area around a controlled airport an Airport Traffic Area. It extended for 5 NM (SM?) and up to 3,000 AGL from the tower. Just to confuse matters, 99.9% of controlled air ports had a region around them that controlled airspace went to the ground. ...
