What's up with the FAA STMP reservation site? http://www.fly.faa.gov:80/estmp/ OSH doesn't show up. Even if all the sservations are full, it should still be listed. -- Dan T-182T at BFM

If you are going to Oshkosh, you may want to consider a stop at our little small town airport. 3LF http://www.litchfieldil.com/airport/ take a look at the photography, the young eagle links, the pilot info and then.......... stop over here for a night. Gas is guaranteed at $2.85 a gallon...

Decision time: I have a choice of a 2.5 hr leg and a 1.5 hr leg, refuelling in Saginaw MI, or a 3.0 hr leg and a 1.0 hr leg, refuelling in Muskegeon MI. Advantages of Muskegeon: - might be easier to hit my arrival window after only a 1 hour flight than a 1.5 hour flight - arrive with more...

Sorry for the delay this year, but extremely busy since returning from Oshkosh.. Pictures are at http://www.myairplane.com/oshkosh2004 This was our first time doing a booth, it was 7 days of terror and fun at the same time. Our booth had a crowd in front if it constantly from the time the doors...

One popped completely out of the abyss of the MS skies last night. It rates up there as one of the noisiest ones I have encountered much less video'd since moving to MS. The thunder pegged the sound capability of the camera as some distortion is heard throughout...

If Kohler sponsored a football game, would it be the Kohler Bowl or the Toilet Bowl? Bored minds want to know! -- Merry Christmas Have a Safe and Happy New Year

Can't fly in this stuff so might as well video it :-) Yesterday's severe storm that rolled through my area. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT0flofwrrw First two minutes are merged clips of videos I took of the lightning and the second two minutes of the video are stills extracted from the video.

Good time for admiring the skies when we shouldn't fly anyway. My second attempt at putting together a video of lightning I took at my house. Mother nature was very cooperative as I had a cell approximately 5 miles to my west "strutting 'er stuff" with at minimum 1 Cloud to Cloud every 2 seconds...

Nut loose in my engine! - Video I think I lost a nut somewhere as my engine is making a strange sound on take off and landing. I have amplified the sound track in this video to see if anybody can identify that sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVetZGvAs0I Comments most appreciated on...

Severe thunderstorm at my house. Needless to say, glad I was wishing to be up there then wishing to be down here :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8XDzUbVT7Y I would have stayed out much longer but the trees were making some ominous cracking noises that you can hear on the video...

Other then flying on SWA, that's the only on topic part :-) I can think of. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLD3oeL3apk My trip to Las Vegas. Allen

When doing an ILS approach, with the glideslope, is it a requirement to be able to identify the outer marker or a substitute? FAR 91.175(k) lists the outer marker as one of the "basic ground components" and gives the acceptable substitutes, but doesn't explicitly say that it's required. The AIM...

I fly in the Chicago area and sometimes find it awkward on a busy frequency to break in to tell the controller that I need to check ATIS at my destination. I've tried listening to both ATIS and ATC at the same time but have never been able to make that work very well. I do have the Garmin 396 and...

I am used to flying planes with KX-155/155a and/or G430/530. In either case, your OBS and VOR indicator are separate from the frequency select unit. Add to this the fact that many panels are set up with the DME slaved only to the #2NAV, and you have ample room for error. It's just easy, in...
