Things fell into place this past weekend to finally take the kids up in the airplane. Their grandma's birthday, a nice high-pressure over New York, our original weekend plans falling through and relatively cooler weather all made for the right opportunity to cut a 6-hour car ride down to a...

I just moved to Tucson and have found it very difficult to find a listing of all the potential rental airplanes and flying clubs to checkout in the area! Any ideas? -- Chris Schmelzer, MD Capt, 110th Fighter Michigan ANG University of Michigan Hospitals

Customs pilots have gone to great lengths to try to keep the F-16s from becoming involved, to the point of crafting handmade signs with the emergency frequency on them and waving them at pilots of target aircraft through the Citation's cockpit windows. Cox said that in the end, they just painted...

Hi guys. I just got checked out in my club's Cutlass for the purpose of getting started on my commercial rating. In that vein, I haven't done any instrument work in the AC yet -- working on the commercial rating is an interesting opportunity toget out of the mental world of instrument flying and...

GPS is great. It's revolutionized small plane navigation. But one thing that bugs me is that there are two or even possibly three ways of entering a GPS waypoint. DD MM SS Degrees minutes seconds which is how we were taught in school DD MM.XX Degrees minutes and 10ths and 100ths of...

I'm just back from OSH late last night as well. Had a good time, got totally sunburned and enjoyed the show. A couple of questions came up, and everyone I asked seemed to have a different opinion (which happens when you don't have the FAR/AIM books at hand out on the Flight line).... 1. I thought...

Hello, ran into a discussion with a pilot-friend-of-mine on sunday about how to set up our GNS430 on a short IFR Trip. I prefer a North-Up mode, because it makes it easier for me to corelate what's on the screen with the paper-charts I have on my kneeboard. He wanted it to be in either Track-Up...

We just joined a flying club with a 1976 Piper Warrior. The airplane has a two-place intercom. I own four headsets and plan to occasionally take friends up in the back seats. Is there such a thing as an adapter I could plug into one of the existing headset jacks that I could then plug...

A friend has convinced me that we should go down to Atlantic City for a day of walking the Boardwalk, and taking in the sites. Any thoughts about Atlantic City Muni (Bader Field) vs Atlantic City Int.? Brad

I hear Garmin sold 3000 of these at Osh. I've had the AnywhereMap system for a year now and find the system has been prone to losing the XM weather. I'd like to hear from 396 users how reliable the weather link has been, particular from people that don't fly regularly.

Hi everyone... A co-worker jokingly asked me if I wanted to buy an airport, so I jokingly replied, "sure!" It turns out the airport that's for sale is Andover-Aeroflex airport in Sussex County, NJ, one of the most charming strips of pavement this side of the Mississippi. The runway is bordered by...

Too many people start out in aviation without any idea of what to expect or with too many options and not enough information. They make their training more difficult, costly and frustrating than it should be. Our site is designed to help you begin and finish your training in a way that best fits...

I'm looking for a source for quality aviation-related clip-art (eps or similar format, i.e vector images editable in Illustrator or FreeHand). Anybody know of some good sources? I see aircraft silhouettes and other good quality line drawings in all the aviation print publications (usually in ads...

I watched you and imagined this morning. I thought about past endeavours; sucesses and failures. I prayed. Gliding that rock dead stick from 8 grand down to 300 must be the ultimate!! Congratulations, NASA Keep the ball rolling I hope the concept of humans actually flying is not banished.
