Expanding My Flying Comfort Zone
by Ron Lee
Prior to getting my RV-6A I had perhaps 250 hours over 20 plus

technical detail about the problems of coming up with a replacement
for 100LL. The conclusion: Avgas 91/96UL (Unleaded), as apparently now
available in Sweden. Check it out:...

Happy Birthday by
James Sleeman
The Cessna 150 prototype first flew on September 12, 1957
(source:wikipedia).
With so many pilots having had thier training in a C150 or 152, I
think it's fair to remark on the fact that the 150 turns 50 Years
young today.
Will it still be flying in another 50?

I've changed my gallery and now there are direct links towards the
pictures in the gallery. Thus, if you want to show a picture and don't
have your web page, as long as it is an air picture, you can use the
gallery to make it available on the net, then post the link to access
it.
Try these ones...

options.

download.

How to break your Garmin 396 by
Dan Luke
Just let battery run down with the USB XM weather antenna connected.
I did this to see how much battery life I would get with the screen set
at half brightness (5+ hours), but when I reconnected external power,
the unit begin an endless series of re-boots, never getting past the "I
agree" lawyer...

Air France Flt 358 vs. thunderstorms by
[email protected]
I've read several reports online re the Air France crash at Toronto
that there were thunderstorms in the vicinity (one account said "right
over the airport") If so I'm curious why the captain didn't divert or
hold away from the storm until it passed (fuel status?). If there was a
storm nearby that...

Embarrasing Flight by
David B. Cole
Yesterday a coworker and I decided to fly out to Lancaster PA to their
pilot shop because he wanted to look at purchasing a transceiver. This
was our first time flying together, but we did do the ATOP course at
Continental as a team. We decided that we would rent a plane from my
FBO and that we...

Comair investigation by
Andrew Sarangan
Reading the recently released transcripts of the cockpit conversations,
I was surprised by their callousness. One pilot observes that there are
no runway lights, and the is "yeah". What??? When did this type of
callousness creep into the cockpit? The attitude of "yeah, sure,
whatever" does not even...

Chart question by
BTB
Did my BFR yesterday and while going over the local sectional, I noticed
something and asked the instructor about it.
It was a dashed blank line, labelled 'underground pipeline'.
Now I have to ask - why if it is underground, is it on the chart ? What
is the possible value of it being there ?

Jim Burns
9:19pm Sunday...
Ok, I kid you not... I JUST got an "attempt" at a collect call... from the
Oshkosh Correctional Institute!
Now, I admit to be terrible at remembering names, but if there is a Louis
Penna in the group, I'm sorry for not accepting the charges.
