Coming to a neighborhood near you by
LWG
I had an interesting experience Thursday. I often fly from Baltimore to
Cumberland for business. This past Thursday, I decided to drive. I took my
Garmin Nuvi GPS along for the ride. In the vicinity of Hagerstown
(Maryland) the GPS went tango uniform. The screen worked, but the unit...

Slick mags when mine are good? by
SteveN1660J
A mechanic that worked on my aircraft tried to push me to buy slick magnitos
and when he was done repairing my airplane he said "Ok the noise you brought
it in for is gone" It was, and the plane ran like any of the planes he works
on for a local flight school. Not wonderful, and surely not as good...

AOPA Expo 2007 by
B A R R Y
I live 15 minutes from AOPA Expo 2007, and I'm temporarily based at
HFD. I'd be more than happy to arrange a R.A.P get together! The
Hartford area has some fine Brew Pubs.
It's a few weeks off, and I know half the NG is at OSH...

Need advice by
[email protected]
I just turned 53 and find myself finally with the time to pursue
aviation as more than an interested spectator. A pilot friend
recommended the light sport pilot designation for me. That is one
opinion.
I need to know if, at my relatively late date it is reasonable to
expect to be piloting my own...

Commercial ASEL and AMEL rides at the same time? by
Matt Johnson
I recently took my commercial ASEL ride and must retake a few parts of the
practical portion, but the complex single I've been using is no longer
available to me. A CFI friend suggested that I could start my multiengine
training now, then take a combined ASEL/AMEL commercial ride, whereby the...

Packing for OSH by
Jay Honeck
We pre-packed Atlas for OSH last night, and he is stuffed to the
gills. Was feeling pretty smug about having everything ready to go
for our flight tomorrow morning (after the pool party tonight), until
I walked out to our Subaru wagon this morning.
The entire back of the car is full of our...

Pool Party Report -- A new record! by
Jay Honeck
Just toddled in from the pool party, and all I can say is "Whoa --
what a party!"
Estimates range from 50 to 70 people at the pool, with an absolutely
full ramp at the airport. We were parking them in the grass -- which
is a new first for us! I've never seen so many RVs outside of
Oshkosh, so...
