Looking to get a suction mount for my 296. Is there a better one out there, other than the RAM Mounts? RAM has a couple to choose from. One is longer than the other. The shorter one only seems to have a ball on one side - does that hinder the ability to angle the display to exactly where you need...

I am planning a trip in a single (Arrow) from MA to MN July 10th. I am looking for recommendations as to whether to go north of the lakes or south along the shore of the lakes. The US portion has a lot more airports but is longer than a route north of the lakes over Canada. Any recommendations?

http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/news/state/062405_APstate_vintageplane.html What is interesting is I wonder if this plane had met compliance with the recent emergency AD that effectively grounded ALL AT6's until a fairly comprehensive removal, inspection and reinstallation of most if not all of the...

How practical is it to stay at Camp Scholler (Oshkosh) without a car? I plan to fly into Appleton, and take a bus to OSH thus avoiding a rental car. Suggestions appreciated.

Tonight, after spending the last couple of days camping at a nearby lake, we had to clean the hotel courtesy van and run a few other errands that had been blown off for too long. With temperatures hovering in the mid 90s, and the wind really blowing all day, no thoughts of flying had entered...

I'm not a pilot, but I've got a question pertaining to aviation forecasts. I'm a mountain climber who has recently discovered aviation forecasts that could be very useful in determining cloud base heights.

Thinking about getting a used 196 - any pireps?

I read a while back about Evergreen's 747 fire bomber. Saw some impressive pictures of a test drop too. Recently I saw another pic on airliners.net of a converted DC-10 also performing a test drop. Considering the massive weight of the water involved, (the 74 carried 24,000 gals. @ 192,000lb) how...

Man, where are all these idiots coming from that steal planes and wreck them? (And then walk away when by all rights they should have died) Where's the self-preservation instinct that says "Hey, wait a minute... I'm not a pilot and I could get killed in this thing.." There MUST be some kind of...

I need to go to Hackensack, NJ, of all places. It would be nice if I could fly myself there. It looks like Teterboro is the closest airport, but I don't want to have to get a second mortgage to pay the landing fees. Searching AOPA and AirNav turned up no other results. Can anyone tell me the...

A friend (non pilot) was coming back into Newark (commercial) the other night when they got a hold due to weather over the field. He said things were pretty normal until they suddenly banked "way over" and everyone was concerned because they were all pushed into their seats. The captain came on...
