For the real engineers here by
[email protected]
I'm thinking of a clean glider, one that might weigh 1500 pounds and
has a glide angle of say 1 in 25. At 50 miles an hour, that would mean

Death & Destruction is Coming. by
walking
To New York and Los Angeles, San Francisco; even Jerusalem and its
memorials. Spots in the U.K. And Chicago, Florida and the CIA. West
Hollywood, Australia.
And other places; Tennesseee, Texas, to its border.
They are queer targets.
These are all planned; nuclear devices in a number of cases....

Newsgroup troubles all over, FYI... by
walking
The topic of this post is the harassment of this news group, and
others; and the U.S. in general. Apologies for it not being directly
related to piloting aircraft. I have tried to keep this brief.
Want to know why this news group is being slapped repeatedly? Here is
my conjecture...

Best airport with access to... by
John Smith
Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium?
It looks like Alleghany County/KAGC.
Any recommendation on FBO would also be helpful.
Same questions for the Buffalo (NY) Zoo.
I might try to do both in one day.
Pitt in the morning, Buff in the afternoon.

touch more power...

Unpaved Landing areas by
Ol Shy & Bashful
