From Jen Horsey (Canadian Press) The Airbus A-340's twin tail-mounted engines had just started to burn when Figiola arrived on the scene less than a minute after the crash.

Everyone has been posting their Oshkosh photos, so here is mine. I took about 150 photos. Not all of them are great, but some of them turned out pretty cool, especially the aerial shots of the field. http://www.sarangan.org/album/aviation_album.html (Click on 2005, and scroll to the bottom)

Wellll... We did it.... The 172 is history.. We are the proud owners of a 1976 Warrior, 151.... Pix to follow for the gallery.... :) So far so good. We planning some upgrades, but so far enjoying the toys,( it's REALLY tricked out for IFR) and LOVING the

We just got back from 7 glorious days spent camped next to Atlas, at the largest fly-in convention/air show in the world, held annually in Oshkosh, WI. I will have a more complete report after downloading/uploading the photos and some unpacking, but I just have to take a few moments to express...

Jay was lamenting the lack of small vendors on the AirVenture grounds this year. Here is an idea for the enterprising owner of the shopping center which formerly was home to WalMart and PigglyWiggly... Why not rent booth space in those empty stores to small vendors at a reasonable rate? It sure...

This is the fastest way for me to get information out to you and is one of the sources I will use for a future posting. As I posted earlier, this Fall and Winter will...

I've been basically keeping two log books. One was the traditional pen and paper logbook that my CFI/CFII signed. The other is electronic. Good thing I kept the electronic one as it made figuring out the dozen or two dozen questions about the hours the FAA has when I applied for my IFR. From...

Considering a flight into CVG, which is Class B and would appreciate some insight from the group. 1. The IFR routing with STAR is very circuitous - better to file VFR? 2. Reservation required? Flight will be on Saturday. Any other tips - FBO, etc? Piper Arrow.

Notice the company this "donor" represents: http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/ind_detail/MYERS|JOEL+N+DR|STATE+COLLEGE|PA|16801|ACCU+WEATHER/ Talk about a blatant bribe. Weather info you've paid for sold off for a measly $4050.

Hi, Firstly, OSH exceeded all my expectations. Everything seemed to run flawlessly, traffic was minimal, the variety of aircraft, engines, and pilots was astounding. I could go on, but good job EAA! But next time, please have a better food selection and kettle corn! :) Hilton

Many people have hailed the implementaiton of NASA's 'Aviation Safety Reporting System', and the 'Aviation Safety Reporting System' as confidential means of reporting aviation safety related incidents that would otherwise go unreported, due to the fear of consequences relating to...

I posted a while back that I have given up my long-time (OK, "relatively" long-time) subscription to Jeppesen in lieu of Sporty's IFR ChartViewer. Just to recap, I can get a year-long subscription to the ChartViewer and get every approach, departure, arrival, minimums, etc. that are printed in...

I've read several reports online re the Air France crash at Toronto that there were thunderstorms in the vicinity (one account said "right over the airport") If so I'm curious why the captain didn't divert or hold away from the storm until it passed (fuel status?). If there was a storm nearby that...

My friend Lee and I sat along runway 18 on Sunday as the arrivals come into Oshkosh. Many pilots did a great job, but there were some notable exceptions: Chills: A Pitts snuck in under a Cessna on 18R, and the Cessna almost lost its tail to the prop of the Pitts. The controller kept telling the...

A friend has a laptop that he uses with a GPS moving map. I can't remember what program he uses, but he would like to be able to overlay weather on his existing program. Anyone know how to do that? -- Jim in NC
