OSH - the chair thing by
Montblack
A little longish - sorry.
Oshkosh question from a first timer: Staying at the dorm, will have car

I want to sit on a (2) regular stackable plastic deck chairs and watch

Drew Hamilton
I have always been under the assuption that I am allowed to split rental costs
with my passengers, as long as I would have been going flying anyways, even
without them.

Peter R.
Yesterday I flew down to East Hampton (KHTO) airport for the first time.
With approach plates in front of me, I was preparing for my arrival when
NY Approach called to ask if I had the weather at HTO.
Scanning my Jeppesen approach plates a second time, I knew that there
was no AWOS/ASOS (it is an...

Tom Hughes
Do not really have specific info for you, but I am a frequent visitor
(ramp rat-photo) to Hooks and it looks like they have plenty of long
term parking. I will probably be out there tomorrow afternoon, and I
can ask for you. Hooks is a first class operation. A lot of military
training types...

Garmin GPS Info by
Jason Kennemer
After buying an iPaq and checking out the GPS abilities and flight planning
software, I think I'm going to take the thing back and opt for a Garmin or
similar dedicated GPS. I'll either get a cheap e6b handheld, or rely on the
whiz-wheel for on-board calculations and do my flight planning on line...

Downloading GPS track data and overlaying charts by
Aloft
To help improve the precision of my flying, I'd like to
overlay the GPS track of my flight on a chart so I can
compare.
Although I don't recall what the most 'usable' program is right now, my
guess would be the OziExplorer.
Yes, OziExplorer is perfect for this. The steps...

Praise for Bose by
Mike Granby
When I bought my Warrior, I also purchased the seller's Bose Aviation-X
headset. Last week, it developed a fault such that no sound was being heard
from the right-hand earpiece. I returned it to Bose for repair, including
credit card details for any charges incurred. To my delight, the unit...

Help needed with old STS LORAN by
Captain Wubba
Hello. I'm going to be spending some time flying a plane equipped with
an old STS 120MC LORAN. It has no manual, and the owner of the plane
doesn't even know how to work the thing. I'm pretty good with tech
equipment, but this thing seems very...eccentric. Could anyone tell me
the very basics of...

Can anyone tell me if airliners typically use HF radio on this route?
It cuts close to land at the Yucatan, but not sure how the ATC is
done. VHF or HF in the remote part of the route?
Thanks

Attracting Aviation Businesses -- How? by
Jay Honeck
Many of you know that our local newspaper has been on the war-path to close
our local airport. Oh, they don't say it *that* way -- they couch it in
terms of "profitability" and "taxpayer's subsidies" -- but that's what they
really mean. No one -- from the Mayor on down to the citizenry --...
