I sat in the shadows for a long time attempting to ignore the resident troll, hoping against all odds that he would go away. When I could no longer restrain myself, I started feeding the troll against my better judgement. It is apparent that I have done nothing constructive in that regard...

In another venue, I put out feelers to buy an ANR headset. Any comments about this offer: "If you're interested I'm selling mine, a Lightspeed 30 3G - good shape, costs $599 retail on the internet, the lowest I've seen was $575. I've had it for 18 months, I like it a lot but I would like to buy...

Not long ago, I inquired about whether a LIghtspeed 30-3G was a bargin for $300. Most thought it was too good a deal to be true. Well, I got it but today was the first time I flew it with it. Works great. About the stall horn... The passive headsets I've been using for the past three years...

My company has an immediate need to fill aircraft mechanic positions in various cities in Maryland, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Florida. These jobs are mostly contract work with some temp-to-perm opportunities. Contract jobs pay competitive wages with very generous per diem.

Why is it that idiot reporters use the term "TARMAC"? Nobody in the aviation world uses that term do they? But then again reporters usually know abolutely nothing about aviation. What inspired this rant? The recent reporting on the US Airways baggage situation and the Northwest airlines flight...

Seems very strange to me that a company most noted for their consumer audio products would make a headset that doesn't have a plug to allow your to hook in your iPod/MP3 player or cellphone. I bought a pair of the Bose X and just assumed that would be there... what a disappointment.

Hey everybody! This is my first post. Got a question... Say you're an American pilot flying to Germany. What language is used when communicating with the tower? Does the American pilot have to be able to speak the language of the country they are flying to? Maybe this is a stupid question but I've...

I'm planning a trip to Yellowstone, does anyone know what the IFR minimum vector altitude is for direct routing from Cody (COD) to West Yellowstone (WYS)? There is no airway between these two points.
