Nice article about flying around NYC by Mr. Smith
In the Saturday NY Times; flying the VFR areas around NYC in a T6 Texan. Nicely written, and really evokes the experience of flying, and the more unusual experience of flying low around NYC http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/22/nyregion/thecity/22feat.html?8hpib

Have you been to an airport where the people in the tower are consitently rude? by LowApproach_SoCal
Just curious... As I frequently fly up to the Santa Monica airport from San Diego for dinner (it is a nice, scenic flight for people) I have found that there is one guy who works the tower there that is consitently rude. SMO has some unique procedures that stress noise abatement, and I am very...

"Rescue" flight, PPL by Joe Johnson
Last week, as I returned to my rental FBO after an evening local flight, the clerk on duty said an instructor and his student were stuck at an airport about 40 minutes away. I spoke to the instructor on the phone and I agreed to fly up and bring them back. He mentioned that, of course, I...

Pilot-in-command question... by Tom Kreyche
After looking online and in the FARs, I still can't see a definite answer for the following question: Let's say two pilots are flying together in an aircraft, and the aircraft doesn't require more than one pilot and it's not a commercial aircraft. If the pilots alternate flying the aircraft by...

Ted Kennedy put on No Fly List by Roger Long
Yes, really! It took him several phone calls before he could get on his flight. Now, I know that the political leanings of most of you in this group will lead you to think that keeping people like Kennedy off of airplanes and away from Washington is good for the nation. However, if it can...

Captain Al Haynes - Angel Flight 21st Anniversary by Hilton
Hi, I was in Denver this afternoon. A group went up to the Denver tower, had a yummy BBQ lunch, but the highlight was the talk by Captain Haynes. The hour seemed to go by in 20 minutes. He not only discussed the United 232 acccident, but also the lessons we should learn from it, and the effect...

Humbled and Learning (Slowly) by Mike Rapoport
Recently I bought a 1974 Helio Courier H295, which is a six place STOL taildragger. Prior to last week I had never flown a tailwheel airplane. Wow, this it hard! The Helio is designed for one purpose: to take off and land very short. Everything is compromised to accomplish this. The main gear...

Arizona weather by news.verizon.net
I'm on my way to Flagstaff AZ late next week in my peashooter 172. I'm watching the radar as thunderstorm after thunderstorm passes through the SW. The last couple of days the forecasts mention 1-inch hail at my destination! I've never flown the SW before. The FBO in Flagstaff kind of downplayed...

Blue Angels - Another point of view by Bill Denton
Shortly before noon, I went to the kitchen and made lunch, then brought it out to the living room and placed it on the coffee table. I always eat lunch in the living room so I can watch the reruns of Law & Order, one of my favorite shows. As I ate and watched Law & Order, from time to time I...

Another bit of history gone.... by Jerry Jesion
The last vestiges of the first concrete runway ever used in the US have just been destroyed. Due to renovations that Ford Motor Company is doing to its Dearborn Proving Ground (which is built on the old Ford Airport) any traces of the first all concrete runway are no more. I find this kind of sad....

Distortion in headset - advice wanted by Andrew Sarangan
The audio from the overhead speakers are fine, but the audio from the headset is very weak. I have to turn the volume to max, but then I get a lot of distortion and can hardly understand the transmission. The results are the same from both radios. The problem is not with the headset, because the...

Garmin GNS 430 by George Kornreich
We're considering adding a GNS 430 to our panel. The hight of the display is rather small, and Garmin tells me that the position of the plane is fixed in the center, and can not be relocated to the bottom of the display, which would allow the entire display, rather than only the top 1/2 of the...

T-hangar's bi-fold door: Convert to a motorized opening door? by Peter R.
Here's a silly question: Is there any way to convert a t-hangar's manually opening bi-fold door to a motorized one? I just rented a t-hangar that uses a circular chain hanging off a large pulley near the top of the hangar to control the door. The chain must be pulled thirty to forty times to...
