Sport Pilot Q For Sacramento Area by
three-eight-hotel
I've got one of the neatest nieghbors a person could ever ask for.
He's 77 years old and had over 1000 hours before he received a major
bypass operation back in 1986. He's as alert and sharp and has a very
active life, but he let his medical expire back in 1988 (never been

VFR Sectional Mural by
[email protected]
Our airport terminal has a VFR Sectional Mural of the United States,
taking up one entire wall of the pilot lounge. I've searched online, but
can't find such a product. Does anyone know if it exists or where to
find it?

Who among us had/has a parent who flew/flies? by
john smith
Just curious how much "trickle-down" aviation there is among us?
My father flew, that is how I got started. We never owned a plane of our
own, only rented. I got my first plane ride when I was three.
He was my first passenger upon passing my PPC checkride and J3 checkout.
I got to fly him to...

when did THIS happen in aviation? by
Retro Pilot
how long has it been since airports have gone from 3-to-4 letter
identifiers?
also, when did ATC go from 2000 feet vertical separation above FL290 to 1000
feet?

trafficking.

PDA touch-screen failure at 8000 feet? by
John Clonts
I use my Sony Clie TJ37 a lot, but rarely while flying. The other day I tried to use it at 8000 feet and the
touch screen was very unresponsive. I could *sometimes* get a click to register but I had to press very hard
