Hi! Anyone got one of these? Comments? I have the Surecheck TPAS 110 device, and I'm looking on upgrading. The Sqawk code display looks like a great idea! Good for askeing ATC about location of threats. Does it work well? All comments welcome. Also, if anyone wants to buy my TPAS cheap, let me...

How will us RAP's and ilk find each other's location, since no one knows where they will be until they land? Is there a message board in the north 40? Will anyone have internet connections while there for the week, and what will the addresses be? Questions, questions. I'm starting into planning...

I've got a business trip in a couple of weeks and it looks like the perfect opportunity to 'beat' the airlines, get some great x-country time and apply my license in a practical way. I need to get to Houghton in the UP of MI from Chicago. It's basically 300 miles due north: ~3 hours in the 172...

After our last discussion about the SR-71 Blackbird, a debate ensued as to whether the Blackbird actually overflew Soviet airspace, in direct violation of the agreement the U.S. signed with the U.S.S.R. after the Francis Gary Powers incident. This agreement forbade overflights. I was under the...

I am contemplating a flight form Venice KVNC to Atlanta with a fuel stop at KLCQ Lake City, or close to it depending on fuel prices. Do not want to go into the big airport in Atlanta. Any one have comments on airports near Atlanta within Taxi cab distance. Thanks

We find ourselves with the rare opportunity to purchase a home with a property line just 60 feet from the centerline of a 2400 foot runway. It's a beautiful home, with almost 2 acres of land. It's got everything we could want in a home, except for a hangar. (The hangar that comes with it fits an...

Greetings, I am going on vacation to Copenhagen and Stockholm in June. Are there clubs or the equivlent of FBO's where one could fly with an instructor for some sightseeing? (not foolish enough to think I could do this solo). I have a US PPL and glider rating. Any suggestions? Regards, Ryan Wubben
