Can anyone direct me to a website that sells unused seats on corporate jet flights? I saw a notice about it but can't remember where. I have a friend who's interested in getting a ride from Oregon to Wisconsin with his golden retriever. They're competing in a national competition and he's reluctant...

Hi there, Are there any websites for people to find other people interested in putting together a partnership to purchase airplanes? I've searched on the obvious terms with no luck. Thanks!

Here is the link to the web hosting company that I use for my 3 sites. http://frontpage-web-hosting.org/

I'm sorry, I can't find the initial thread on this subject by a person who calculated a forward CG on his Cherokee...if I missed the pertinent newsgroup, would somebody please repost for me? 1. It would have helped if you had given us the serial number of the airplane to be sure we looked up the...

The other day I when I was handed off to a center frequency I got a continuous "rx", like a stuck mic, on my Garmin 430. I asked about changing freq, he said he did not have another available. I explained the stuck mic, and he queried other pilots on the freq, who all reported 5x5. I...

My KX-170B has problems. When I first turn on the com, I can hear airplanes on my side of the field but not on the far end of the field. After some time everything turns to normal. I can always transmit just fine. When I first turn on the nav, I can receive no VORs, but a after a few minutes...

Today I went over to the plane to put the new tailcone in the plane (awaiting installation), and see the strange wire dangling from the tail. Turns out that the ADF wire had broken. I'm guessing that the plane cover and gusty winds finally wore out the wire. And, no, I'm not ready to drop...

Well................ It arrived yesterday... And 1st impressions are... WAY beyond expectations... Well constructed, high quality components.. LOVE the HSI !

Well, my dry vacuum pump is getting a little long in the tooth (I've owned my plane for over 500 hrs now, and still have the vac that was in it when I bought it). I bought the plane used in 1999- a 1978 C172/180hp. The lit suggests that I'm living on borrowed time for a dry vac after about 500...

Got asked a question that I can't find the answer to. Say I take a feller's logbooks home during the annual and after a few hours of grunt and scream I come up with what I think is the current equipment list and a defensible weight and balance. I sign off the w&b in the logbook and give...

In my continuing effort to plug all the oil leaks in my Continental 0-300 I have a final question about wet vacuum pumps. How much oil out the vent is too much? This is a '61 C-172 with the factory standard oil recovery system off the wet vac. About twice as much oil comes out the vacuum vent as...

I am curious of opinions out there. I currently have a wet Vacuum pump on my Glasair I-RG. I am considering adding an M-20 vacuum pump oil separator just for the vacuum pump since I also have a Christen inverted oil system separator which takes care of the Crankcase breather. I am also considering...

My Cessna 182Q -- wet wing tanks, no bladders -- has developed a fuel seep from the left tank. Can anyone here recommend a good repair shop within a few hours of Denver, Colorado? Thanks! Jon

The General Aviation Manufacturers Association says that on the US registry the average age of a twin engine piston power plane with fewer than 4 seats is 32 years, and that this is not increasing. My question is ... WHERE ARE THESE PLANES? I've never seen twin piston engine plane with fewer than...

I just got back last night from picking up my first plane. It's a Beech Super III, A23-24. I think planes are like kids: mine is better looking, smarter, etc... Anyone else feel that way ;-) I flew down to Dallas from Minden, NV on Friday. On Friday evening when I got there, the weather was nice,...

Well, I just micturated away $58,868.13 into the loving arms of the state and feds this morning... Now where are those fat cat deductions that allow me to pay zero, that all the rabble rousers keep bringing up? denny

There's (understandably) a lot of discussion about Piper vs. Cessna vs. Mooney... I'm considering a (Rockwell) Commander 114B. Their marketing hype makes it seem that the Commanders have a much better safety record than their competition. Anyone have any input on that? How about maintenance...

Hello all, I'm looking for an airplane to purchase or build, but I can't find one that meets all of my needs/wants (yes, I know, all airplanes are a bucket of compromises). So, I'm asking all of you out there for advice on any airplanes that would fit this profile. Important to Haves: - could be...

this has got to be it. Both props off for overhaul, it's time, now I am looking at two new props with deice boots, 15k times two. can get some new blades and use the old hubs but I am thinking it's best just to be rid of them. I thought this annual would hurt when I got three new gear...

Hello, As a senior in high school, i was able to get my private pilot's license on dec 31, 2003. i love flying(what pilot doesn't, right?) but i'm looking for a cheaper way to build hours then renting. i was just playing with an idea, and i wanted your responses. Would an airplane owner ever...
