Forgive the test

Anybody have a Telex Stratus 50-D headset? Are you happy with it? I've been promising myself an ANR headset for a long time, and I think I'm finally ready to pull the trigger. From the reviews I've read, the 50-D looks like the best thing out there, if a little pricey. I've been happy with my...

In the first place, why don't they just go away? In the second place, it would be nice to have a couple of specialized newsgroups...

What are the three different views called in the blue print of an aircraft? I.E. the top view, profile view and the front view. I know there's a specific name for each of the "three" views but I can't remember them. Sorry for the dumb question, but this is bugging me. Thanks for any help! Jakob...

I am starting my flight training and I would like some feedback from other pilots on aviation headsets. Like most student pilots, I am on a budget but I do want a good, sturdy headset that will last me at least 5 years. Also, I would like an ANR headset. I have heard very good things about the Bose...
