T-34 aircraft, all models, until further notice, after confirming that the

separation. It only allows a few hours of flight under very strict
restrictions to...

Decalin instead of TCP? by
Bob Fry
With the demise of 80/87 avgas, I bought a gallon of TCP and will
start adding that to the 100LL that I must now buy.
However, scouting around the internet I found something that claims to
be similar in function but safer: decalin. Here's a blurb from

John A. Weeks III
I took a long road trip over the weekend. At one point, I was
driving north on US-52 just turning onto I-74 near Mt Airy in
north-central North Carolina. As I made the turn, a very low

stopped and the prop feathered. I think it was a...

AVIATIONTOOLBOX: plot GPS log by
Kyler Laird
I needed a break this morning so I whipped up a trivial little script
to create a sectional image from GPS data.

Scanner by

I plan on going to Oshkosh again this year. I enjoy getting there a
couple of days early and sit near the flight line and watch all the
planes arrive. I think it would be more enjoyable if I had a scanner

inexpensive scanner for this...

Question for business jet pilots, movie S.W.A.T. by
Jeffrey
Hi folks. A question, if I may.
In the film "S.W.A.T.", a commandeered Learjet is descending for a landing
on a bridge. The pilot or copilot is going through checklists and he says,
"Go to 'forty percent flaps.' "
