Tie-down Taildraggers by
john smith
I stopped by the airport when I was out running errands this morning.
Probably 90% of the aircraft had their tails on the ground with their
noses in the air.
I thought, that sure was thoughtful of the line crew to tie the tails
down so the sno would slide off.
Then I drove out to the ramp and saw...

An Olive Branch by
Jay Honeck
Now that it appears that George Bush has been re-elected with a true
majority of the popular vote (the first president to do so in 16 years), let
me be the first to extend an olive branch to those here who may be
disappointed in the results.
What has made America strong, and allowed our democracy...

"bush flying" in the suburbs? by
[email protected]
Among other aircraft I've been looking at the Zenith Air STOL CH 801
lately, which attracted my attention purely as an inexpensive and eaily
built plane to cart my family around. http://www.zenithair.com
But the advertised 390-ft fully-loaded ground roll got me fantasizing
about all the...

A revelation by
Ron Garret
When I was in high school (and dinosaurs walked the earth) a science
museum in my home town held a paper airplane contest. One of the events
was a duration aloft contest, which was conducted by launching the
planes off of a second-floor balcony that overlooked the museum's atrium.

3 more Qs by
Ramapriya
1. Like there are crosswind landings, are there crosswind takeoffs too?
If yes, what's the procedure of takeoff?
2. In crosswind landings, it's recommended that one lands on only the
upwind wheel. Since this would almost always tilt the upwind wing
groundward, would there not be an engine strike?...

France in an official visit.
He is invited for a dinner at the private house of his French
counterpart.
When he reaches the place, he can't refrain to say:

Tango Uniform by

What is the etymology of Tango Uniform?
I'm guessing "tails up" or "tits up" but anyone know for sure?

How do I get an AWOS? by
Robert M. Gary
I fly out of O61 (near Sacramento). Because our airport is 1000 feet
above Sacramento our weather (fog) tends to be different from
Sacramento. My partner and I end up driving up to the airport sometimes
just to find the weather isn't what we expected. What does it take to
get an AWOS? Has anyone on...

3-point landings by

While we were awaiting takeoff clearance at Khartoum recently, an
Ilyushin IL76 Syrian Air cargo plane landed. Just prior to touchdown,
it kinda flattened out from its nose-down final and clearly did a
3-point landing. I was looking at the plane from my starboard window
seat.
During flight, I had...

On landing and holding short by
Ramapriya
A commercial pilot I was chatting up recently told me that, in most
European countries, the use of forward thrust is illegal.
Makes me wonder what would happen if a 747 was instructed to land and
hold short but the craft can't be brought to a halt (because of, say,
an error in landing beyond the...

Oshkosh in Winter... by

When strange things like this happen, you don't question them, and you don't
ever pass them by. No sir, you seize upon them...
