Brief review of Anywhere WX by Paul Folbrecht
A couple weeks ago I started a thread inquiring about the various PDA/tablet moving-map/satellite weather packages available. After a lot of deliberation I ended up buying ControlVision's Anywhere WX/Anywhere Map system and an iPaq 4705 PDA. I used the system for the first time this evening and...

Places to go to Victoria Is, BC by Robert M. Gary
Last summer we flew to Vancouver and had a great time. This time I was thinking it would be fun to go to Victoria. Are there things for a family to do? Are there good places to go airport hopping? I'm not looking for "aviation" stuff to do, but rather fun things for a 9 and 10 year old to do. Is...

EADS may build Airbus tankers in Alabama by George Patterson
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050622/ap_on_bi_ge/airbus_plant_15 George Patterson Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry, and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing? Because she smells like a new truck.

video of my spin by Nobody
Sometime back I had to get my spin endorsement to get my CFI. My CFI did the first one. I was entirely unprepared for what happened. I had no idea how quickly the nose fell, the nose down attitude during the spin, and how fast it rotated. Based on what I had read about spins, I didn't think...

Sectional Chart Question by Teranews
A pilot recently asked me a question, that I cannot find the answer to. On a sectional chart, around cities, are yellow areas. What are they? Where on the legend can this be found? My answer was "congested areas of a city or town" which I though sounded official enough to work. Ah-Ha, he says,...

No more charts? by Chris Colohan
I saw this over on comp.risks... Apparently there is a proposal to have the FAA stop publishing charts for "security reasons". Am I reading this correctly? Does this mean the end of charts for navigation? Or just that they will cost twice as much and have to be purchased from a private...

Gleaned from the CPA ATIS 8.24: THE PRICE OF MOGAS IN CALIFORNIA. . . I've been touring California for the past week and was amazed to find Mogas in Modesto for $2.29/gal. I'm told it's the only place in California you can get it. Bill Whatley

Jet Fighter Ride by Ronald Gardner
Well I turn the big 50 Wednesday, the plus side is that my wife has agreed to fund one wild adventure. First, I thought sky diving, then after a bad dream, I decided if you can fly a plane why jump out! So my second choice was to try a find a ride in a jet fighter! There is one about 50 miles...

Anyone have this? by Frode Berg
https://www.surecheck.net/avionics/features.html I'm considering it. Used to have the first generation TPAS, and it saved my butt a few times on long X-country trips. I just thought the altitude info would be really a great addition! Does it work as advertised? Less false warnings than the early...

PIREP: WxWorx w/Bluetooth by Nathan Young
As some of you know, I run a Fujitsu ST4121 tablet PC in my plane, and use it to display moving map software as well as XM/WxWorx radar. I had grown tired of cables dangling from the tablet, so when WxWorx offered a Bluetooth upgrade to their receiver, I went for it. To support the Bluetooth...

Beaver Island by Denny
While I cannot match Jay's exciting cross country to Washington in unstable air, ADIZ, 11K runway, etc., we did do the bi-biennial trek up to Beaver Island... (meaning it's been 4 years) The weather was so calm, with 50 mile visibility, that it was fraught with risk because it was just too darn...

Bad place to stall by Stubby
Suppose you are in the final quarter of a loop maneuver, looking at the ground. Your speed is high and you are pulling back hard to bring the plane back to level. Can that result in a stall?

Second Helicopter Crash into the East River by Bob Chilcoat
Another helicopter went down in the East River this afternoon. This is not helping GA. A friend runs a competing company to the one that went down four days ago. His pilots all stopped by the Port Authority and watched security camera footage about the earlier accident. They all agreed that it...
