Hi Peter, The mpeg didn't play for me but just a few thoughts: Since they say they couldn't reproduce it on the ground, could this be a noise issue? Possible sources would be the radio, a transponder transmission, engine ignition, maybe a motor driven trim, fuel equalizer pump if you have one....

The current condition and location of the aircraft are unknown. A recent search of the FAA N number database list the Pro's N number (N5143T) as reserved, with no aircraft assigned to the number. A search of the NYSB aviation accident database can find no accident involving N5143T. Does anybody...

I own a Garmin GPS-90 and just tried to buy a database update from Garmin. With no warning, databases for the GPS 90 are no longer available. I am looking for a recent database that I can borrow or buy to update my database which is 2 years old. (Garmin suggested this when I called them) Thanks.

Hi All, Firstly apologise if this is not the correct group to post to (My first time ;0) I'm thinking about taking up flying and have found a few schools in the US that seem quite resonable (for price and facilities). They offer several courses - i've narrowed it down to two: 'PPL Private Pilot...

Anyone else watch the Jet Blue Airbus on CNN do the emergency landing at LAX with the nose gear pointed crossways? It is worth checking out the highlights on CNN to watch it. That had to be one of the best and smoothest landings I have ever seen. The pilot really greased it in, and held the nose...

I took a long road trip over the weekend. At one point, I was driving north on US-52 just turning onto I-74 near Mt Airy in north-central North Carolina. As I made the turn, a very low flying airplane passed over the freeway. It had one engine stopped and the prop feathered. I think it was a...

In looking around in Google Earth, I found a group of airplanes that appear to be on static display. They are in New York City, across the Grand Central Parkway from the end of Runway 4/22 at Laguardia Airport. Specifically, they are in a parking lot at the corner of Ditmars and 90th. Anyone know...

I was traveling up the Mississippi River Great River Road the other day. I stopped for the evening in Quincy, Illinois. I happened to check out the local airport. I happened to find a pair of Mig-29's sitting on the ramp. There was also an L-39, though they are a little more common. Anyone know...
