Harvey Field Endangered by
C J Campbell[_1_]
It appears that Harvey Field (S43) in Snohomish County, WA, is in
serious trouble. Basically, Federal surveys have re-mapped the flood
plain and errors in the new map have placed Harvey Field within an area
where industrial development is now restricted, despite the fact that
the existing...

Meigs Field Today by
Jay Honeck
http://tinyurl.com/25usmf
It is to weep.
It is so hard to view that picture. Meigs was *SO* cool, and such a
great place to land, I just want to cry when I see what King Daley
hath wrought.
Mary and I haven't been back to Chicago since his terrorist attack on
Meigs, and we never will return, so...

Larry Dighera
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/transportation/july-dec07/delays_08-07.html
(audio and video are available)
The Federal Aviation Administrator sees herself as part of the
airlines. At least that's what I infer from her statement:
In fact, what's amazing is we're running at almost 90 percent...

Time Magazine Article "What's causing ATC delays" by
james
Hey all - I'm mostly a lurker but felt compelled to comment on this.
Time Magazine recently had an incredibly asinine piece on "What's
causing flight delays." In it the writer blames the old ATC system,
but barely gives word to busy hub airports, overscheduled/canceled
flights, and a host of...

Can the airport ban bicycles? by
Jay Honeck
Our new hangar lease includes a specific ban on bicycles, of all
things. (And cars, and anything else in the hangars not directly
related to aviation.)
Is this legal?

Shipping a Radar-Advice? by
Al G[_1_]
A friend has recently updated his C210's avionics with a largely Garmin
panel. Among the things removed was a King RDS81 weather radar. I've found a
buyer in Florida, and have to figure out how to get it there from Oregon, as
safely as possible. We don't have to ship the pod, just the...

simpler shape and has a cutout for Leesburg, VA ingress/egress traffic.

Saw President Bush's plane (response to "Saw J.T.'s Plane") by
Ricky
The "Saw John Trovolta's Plane" thread got me thinking about
inaccessibility of celebs but nothing compares to the way Bush is
protected from us normal folk!
I'm an A&P student here at Texas State Technical College and our
campus is the old James Connally Air Force Base (Waco, TX.). When Bush

Blakesburg Antique Aircraft Association Fly-In by

Mary and I spent a most enjoyable day at Antique Airfield in
Blakesburg yesterday, at the annual Antique Aircraft Association Fly-
in. This is a private, by-invitation-only event, and they hold it in
just about the most inaccessible area possible. (It's a 2-hour drive
for us, and we're always...

University of North Dakota video lessons by
B A R R Y[_2_]
In ITunes, search for "University of North Dakota".
UND has put video ground school lessons up for free! My Ipod is audio
only, but I watch the lessons on my PC. Video Ipod owners can obviously
take the video with them.
Take a look! The videos even feature commercial maneuvers.

The Airport Fence by
The Visitor[_2_]
Coming back from Eastern Canada we stopped at an uncontolled airport,
well it was a class E zone. But the story is, as the ramper was gassing
me up he asked if we would be departing right away and I said, "Yes as
soon as we pay." He replied to me, "That would be great as the little
kid has been...

The story below details how noise impacts health based on alarming new

"the long-term memory recall of children in part of Munich, Germany,
improved by 25 per cent after a nearby airport was closed" it may be
fodder for airport...

I posted earlier in response to a message from Jay Honeck telling him
to come by our booth at Oshkosh and say high, not meaning to make a
public announcement about a new product we are introducing at Oshkosh,
but it was quickly noticed by others and I was told I was being coy.
I just didn't want to...

Daddy! What did you do?!!! by
Steve Schneider
One of the advantages of flying is that you can pack so much more into
your weekends. Last weekend was a typically busy one for us. We had
plenty to do around the house, I had to help a neighbor move, and we had
a dinner to help with at the Fallbrook Air Park (L18) for some 80 odd
people -- oh,...

history, we have (as expected) a bunch of lawsuits. But now we have a
