High Blood Pressure -- Part II by
Jay Honeck
As some of you know, six weeks ago I was diagnosed with high blood
pressure, and was prescribed medication. Although the medicine the doc
gave me WAS on the FAA's list of "approved" drugs, the mere act of
taking such a drug would set into motion all sorts of things regarding
obtaining future...

anyone ever met Burt Rutan? by
jim
Was watching a video on the minivan that Bert designed and shot into space.
He seems like a interesting person but I can't believe he is that laided
back when designing planes and minvans that fly into outer space, is he a
dick or a cool dude?

Prices are going up.

Great Lakes Temperature Charts by
Happy Dog
This is an excellent resource for people who fly single engine planes across
the Great Lakes. I avoid straying out of gliding distance to shore until
the temperature is into the sixties. Typical survival times for 60 degree
water are in excess of six hours.

Cirrus SR22 demo flight by
[email protected]
Last week I went for an hour-long CFI demo flight in an SR22-GTS. What
an amazing airplane! Huge difference from the Lance I currently fly. A
comfy car-like leather interior, and the presentation from the two
Avidyne panels was just incredible. The takeoff roll was short (only 2
aboard with less...

Have you ever... by
Jay Honeck
....refused to fly with someone you felt was not entirely safe? (With that
person acting as PIC, not as a passenger in your own plane.)
I had it happen earlier this year, for the first time, ever, and it felt,
well, weird.
I think I did the right thing, but it's hard to say. That funny...

private pilot in Chicago needed by
De'Wisz
I'm looking for a private pilot in Chicago,who would take me and my
friends for a ride. We can "split" costs ( to make it legal ): pay for
rental or fuel. It might be a good idea for somebody who is building
time or just like to fly for lower price.

SR-71 Blackbird Guru's Biography by
Jay Honeck
A few months ago we were discussing Bill Fox, the remarkable fellow who
donated all of the memorabilia and artwork for our incredible
"Blackbird Suite."
At the time, my knowledge of his background was a bit sketchy.
However, we now have a complete biography of Bill, (put together by
Bill himself)...

TW Endorsement Completed by
[email protected]
After about eight hours I completed the tailwheel endorsement today in
the SD. But it certainly wasn't routine as the wind was coming out of
the North at about 15kts gusting to about 20kts, and we were using
Runway 7. I noticed a strong weathervaning tendency while taxiing,
which required a lot...

MOGAS availability database by
[email protected]
Being a Rotax 912s driver, and being as how the Rotax prefers premium
automobile fuel, I have been searching for places that serve automobile gas
that are accessable to airplanes. I'm not having much luck.
So, does anyone know of a database that tracks availability of MOGAS for
aviation...

when to run up and check the prop by
Friendly Skies
I fly some high performance, complex singles like Saratogas, Lances, C182RG,
C206, and the like. Typical flying days have multiple hops while seeing
customers. On one hand I know pilots who say that you should do a full run
up and prop check before every take off, because the checklist says to. ...

Pirep request by
Jim Burns
I've always had the Wright Patterson Air Force Museum at Dayton, OH on my
list of places to fly. We'd probably fly into KDAY and grab a crew car if
available.
Can any members of the group that are familiar with the museum give me a
pirep? We'll only have one day to visit and would like to hit all...
