Tailwheel Crosswind Landing by
I am a long term lurker and have a question regarding landing tailwheel
airplanes in a crosswind. I have about 250 hours in a Piper PA-12 Super
Cruiser. The other day during a very routine crosswind landing I

I had a fairly gentle cross...

Aerial PHotography Flights 'Required' to File Flight Plans by
C J Campbell
Yesterday a local aerial photographer came in just fuming. Apparently he was
working within the Seattle Class B and called FSS to get an update. He had a
squawk and was in touch with Approach, of course. Anyway, FSS told him that
they could not find his flight plan and that he was required to have...

Stayed up late and watched all three hours of the SpaceShipOne documentary

Need details on a Challenger 602 by
Bob Moore
Hello,
I am trying to gather information on the aircraft that exploded at Montrose
earlier today. I did a search on a confirmed Challenger 602. I got a few
hits but the best I could gather was that the craft rated somewhere
between a Learjet and a Citation in nature which really doesn't tell...

A Service ceiling question (Piper 235) by
falcon
Karl, your post makes no sense to me.
Every landing I make, in my '64 235, is as soft as a baby's ass!
True, many people don't know how to land it, as typical Cessna
indoctrination won't do!

approach), then a progressive flare to a...

Request tips on flying from Arkansas to Oakland, CA in December by
Bert G.
I hope to fly from Arkansas to Oakland, CA later this month in my
Cessna 172RG. I have never flown in CA or the west before. Can
anyone offer advice on the appropriate route and stops? I understand
there is a good southern route into CA.
Thanks,
Bert G.
