Sent to my Ohio Representative I am writing to you regarding the bill H. R. 5035 introduced by Mr. Weiner. This bill seeks to curtail one of the fundamental freedoms we enjoy in this country. It attempts to severely limit the freedom of general aviation pilots, and eliminate it entirely in larger...

Sunday the 12th, I took and passed the oral exam and checkride for my private pilot certificate. I have posted here three times (or so) before and just wanted to share the good news. I am decompressing now and looking forward to getting checked out on a rental Piper Warrior to do some...

I am looking to buy some FMS training software for any regional jet. I cant afford the prices of new software ($495 - $1200) so used will have to suffice. Hank

We're planning a trip to Montana later this month flying the airlines into Bozeman (BZN). Going to Yellowstone for a few days then will head back to the Bozeman area to hang around eating beef & drinking beer. I see there are a few FBOs in the BZN area and was hoping someone would give me...

For those of you who were following the posts about the model B52 a few months back- http://www.stukastudios.se/b52.htm

Gonna be interesting the next few days. I'm in Mobile, Alabama and one of our airports, Brookley Field nearly sticks into Mobile Bay. Elevation reported at 26' and for sure will be under water if the bay gets pushed in like it frequently does. Can't help but wonder how its gonna affect the aircraft...

Well, maybe. IF everything holds together (weather, the hotel, the kids, the plane) we'll be departing for Reno tomorrow morning at O-dark-thirty... 1291 nautical miles of trans-continental delight, followed by the fastest motor sport in the world! Anyone else going? --

I need to get a biannual transponder check. I would like to do it October 1st instead of sometime near the end of September to get an "extra" month the next time around. The FARs say that I can operate without a transponder in the airspace where a Mode C transponder is normally required by...

I fly a Cessna P206 hauling skydivers. Today on one of the drops a glove somehow managed to become jammed between the mass balance and the end of the stab which jammed the elevator in about the 1/3 "up" position. I could see two fingers sticking up above the elevator with something flapping on...

I use a Denali ANR, and love it. I also have a Peltor passive headset which I hadn't worn in a long time. Just the other day, I wore the Peltor, and found it to be surprisingly close to the Denali. In fact, with the ANR off, the Peltor seemed WAY better than the Denali. The Pelor does have a...

Would appreciate any contact information for gyroplane training (and rating) in the San Francisco Bay Area. I live in San Francisco and mostly fly out of Palo Alto. I've found some references online to West Coast Gyroplane Service at Nut Tree Airport (Vacaville). JLenzi

Yesterday someone had left the TV on and I as I was taking a short break I saw that the TV soap "Days of Our Lives" had an aviation sequence on it. It had two guys flying a civilian twin somewhere; I have no idea what the plot was, but it was no doubt incredibly silly. Anyway, they are apparently...

Would a '79 Mooney M20J have a 14 or 28 volt electrical system? I am thinking about buying one and wanted to look at some avionics. Thanks!! Jon Kraus PP-ASEL-IA Student Mooney Purchaser

If you are looking for a way to fly that is less expensive, more fun, and will make you a better pilot, check out the Eight Ball Flying Club, located at Van Nuys airport. We currently have two well maintained aircraft - a 172 ($60/hr, wet, TACH time), and a 182 ($80/hr, wet TACH time), and a great...

Do you know what happens to pilots who try to impress the camera crew, waiting half way the runway for a spectacular take-off shot ? Well, look for yourself at http://www.dappa.nl/crash.htm. Don't worry about any blood stains or casualties, there is only going to be material damage and a pilot...

Has anyone had any experience with this outfit? Seems like it would make a great vacation: http://www.goana.com.au/gaas.html. I can't find prices anywhere on the site though, which scares me. Jeremy

A pilot friend sent me this. It's probably already made the rounds, but I hadn't seen it before. Sorry if it's a repeat. -- Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways) I don't have to like Bush and Cheney (Or Kerry, for that matter) to love America
