Sure is easy to read this newsgroup! by
Terry
Over the last month I've "kill filed" or "blocked sender" in IE
express all the obvious non-pilot posters. Troll posters AND troll
feeders. Only about 10 people left! I know I've "killed" a few
posters that were knowledgeable and I admit, enjoyed reading their
post when it applied to...

weather for pilots? by
Qzectb
Are there readers in this newsgroup who have a strong interest in
weather as it relates to aviation? I don't mean just the stuff you
need to get from point A to B safely or to pass your written but
deeper knowledge -- where and why does icing occur? The physics of
thunderstorms? Turbulence? ...

Help With My training by
Gezellig
Last Friday, I went up for an introductory flight lesson out of the San
Carlos airport. WOW!!!!!! I have been dreaming about learning to fly
since I was in my teens. All the time I was in the air the lines of
that famous poem kept going through my head "Oh, I have slipped the
surly bonds of...

New blood by
Peter Duniho
Okay, rather than replying to the individual arrivals' threads, I felt
compelled to start this new one. Is it just me, or is there a palpable
feeling of freshness around here? A certain simmer notwithstanding, it
seems to me that in the recent month or so, we've gotten at least three
other...

GA bias in "general" insurance? by
Greg Farris
Received yet another mailing offer for disability insurance - from a
reputable company, ready to pay a $250-500K indemnity for complete
disability. The insurance covered accidents at home or at work, and there
were very few outright exclusions. Of the eight or so exclusions they
listed, two...

Rec.Aviation OSH report by
Jim Burns
I just got off the phone with Jay Honeck. The group that had left KIOW this
morning arrived at OSH after several holds and an accident on 9/27. Rumors
are that a Cherokee pilot perished in an air to ground crash. No other
details.
For those that are going to the Rec.Aviation.*.* party...

Teamsters send clear message by
M White
What are the air space rules regarding flying over an event like that?
Anybody know? Would NASCAR have the authority to have the pilot arrested?
Can NASCAR ask for certain air space at a certain time to be 'theirs'?

Real-life flight planning by
Paul Folbrecht
Being newly licenced (yesterday), I've started thinking about the type
of VFR flight-planning I'll do in the real, post-student world, and what
tools I'll use.
As a student, of course, I did everything by hand, and meticulously, and
eschewed GPS navigation as well. Some of my observations from my...

They are trying to remove your weather access by

You might want to write to Rick Santorum and tell him why this is such a
bad idea:

Stuck Mike by
Jay Honeck
Coming back from Pella (near Des Moines) today we over-flew a poor sap who
was apparently sitting on his microphone. Worse, he had the incredible
misfortune of being the last person in a flight of three to land, and while
they landed ahead of him he gave a long, critical, and quite profane...

Presidential TFRs -- AUGH! by
Jay Honeck
Sure -- the ONE time in my life I want to fly to Superior, WI, in the middle
of absolutely no where Wisconsin, to visit the Bong Museum (BOTH kids are at
camp -- heh, heh) -- and the President of the United States chooses TODAY to
visit Duluth, MN.
Right across the bridge from Superior...

Who has a night rating? by
Marc Lattoni
As a VFR only pilot, I thought it pointless to get a night rating due to the
potential difficulties of encountering a "black hole" and not having the
skills to get back to safety. But our flight school encourages us to
experience the beauty of night flying on clear nights.
Just wondering, how many...
