Here is a link to story about landing on the freeway http://www.ecmpostreview.com/2005/October/26cessna.html My question is what do most people think about landing on a freeway?

Our 74 Archer is owned by a NJ Not-For-Profit Corporation that each of the four partners owns a share in. Our insurance has the Corporation as the named insured, and the four partners are named as the sole pilots, although we do have an open pilot clause to cover flight by instructors,...

Not a big deal; IFR to DAL, VFR back to BFM, no sweat, but I want to give another plug to Regal Aviation at Love Field. Once again, they treated me like I had driven up in a Gulfstream instead of a somewhat scroungy looking Cutlass RG. Rent car delivered right to the airplane, free bottled water...

http://www.wafb.com/Global/story.asp?S=4038264 I found this link in alt.binaries.multimedia.aviation. I thought you guys should see this. After seeing this clip, I wonder why the pilot would begin a takeoff rollout with all the vehicles on the side of road. The risk factor would cut down...

Been out the past couple days with my nephew flying around and about. He videod some of my VFR approaches and landings. The file can be downloaded from the bottom of the following pages. Video behaves better if you right click and save as to your local computer rather then play over the...

Last year, before Christmas, someone posted a link to a crank-up rechargeable flashlight. I was lucky enough to get one from the company who's link was posted before supplies ran out. I later tried to order one for one of my partners without any luck. I just saw an ad for the same flashlight on...

For me, it's the King Air. Other opinions?

In bitching about recent news coverage about saftey at a local airport (the media don't get it right, they aren't experts, they create hysteria....), AOPA posted this gem on accident statistics: "Now put this into perspective with car crashes, household accidents, medical mishaps, and the...

Hi, Just wanted to let the group know about our new WingX Browser Beta. It'll display color-coded METARs, TAFs, winds aloft, temperature aloft, trends etc. Take a look at the screen shots (landscape mode too): http://www.hiltonsoftware.com/Beta.html We'll add more as time goes on, so please...

If one announces "Runway Two Zero" but the "Zero" is cutoff the listener thinks "Runway Two". Announcing "Runway "Zero Two" prevents this possibility. Obviously this problem only occurs with a limited number of runway alignments. The "Runway Zero Two" for someone speaking at 120 words per minute...

I was wondering if has anyone visited ATC facilities recently and had to prove US citizenship. I have heard some people that visited Potomac Approach were not asked for this, but Seattle Approach keeps blocking non-citizens including permanent residents. Thanks.. Baha Acuner www.AcuWings.com

Since the topic of cockpit organization always comes up, has anyone tried using fishing vest? It has many pockets that appears to be a good solution for a cockpit, but I don't what the drawbacks are. Here is a brief writeup about fishing...

I had a situation yesterday at the end of my local "just because" flight (you know, one of those where you really have no place to go but the weather is favourable and you just want to go flying). Was flying a rental 172. Took off like a rocket (lightly loaded solo... cold air about freezing),...

Anyone else see the online commentary by John Nance that it is a freedom to be able to fly a plane? http://abcnews.go.com/Business/FlyingHigh/story?id=1251850 Thanks, Dan

Except the landing went ok, but the takeoff did not. After safe emergency landing, pilot crashes on takeoff http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/bizarre/3421136

Is there anywhere to find the numbers of aircraft destroyed by hurricanes during the last two seasons? It would be interesting to see a list by make, model and year.

Some are gona think this is a dumb ? , but here goes.. Our Warrior (new to us) has a seat back "release" on the co-pilots seat.. OK, -so does the seat back lock in the " forward position" and the "release allows it to move back to the "upright" position? Ours does... seems backward tho...

Anyone ever used this product, or know anyone that has? www.uflymike.com It seems intriguing for half the price of the X, especially if the QC employs the same noise cancelling circuitry as the Bose X (I couldn't find any specs on the bose website, but a lunchtime trip to the Bose store is in...

Thanks bunches for your help, all of you. I need to sit down and study all this and then, who knows, I may be back for a question or two about your answers. Also will check out those links Rob suggested. I did a lot of the research with a pilot who is an actual crash survivor and, even though he...
