Group Effort Prevents Gear-up Landing at TIW by
C J Campbell
This happened a couple of weeks ago. I was out with a pre-solo student doing
maneuvers when we saw a Bonanza pass by us on his way to Shelton. We headed
back to Tacoma Narrows and as we pull onto the ramp we hear the Bonanza
requesting assistance from the tower because he cannot get a gear...

I've removed my headset...

Flight breakfasts. by

I attended another local Fly-In breakfast this morning in Mankato, MN
(MKT). This is my third Fly-In breakfast that I have flown in to. Flying
east this morning into the sun and haze isn't something I'd want to do too
often! When I lived in southern Texas, I didn't notice many Fly-Ins

Lightspeed with Foggles question by

I just bought the Hood Lamb and had to send them back. They simply would
not clamp to my David Clark H10-13.4 which have a narrower than usual band.
To their credit, they acknowledge this problem with DC's and suggest
friction tape to increase the girth of the band. Didn't work...to
