Have any of you guys tried the new Sporty's cell phone interface that allows you to hear both ATC and cell phone at the same time? It runs about $100. I'd be interested in cheaper alternatives if they exist and any downsides if anybody's experienced one. I like the idea of being able to use the...

Saw this clip today about a derelict 1950's era AA gun sitting in some guy's yard near DFW airport. "Concerned individuals" (i.e. dimwits) called the news station worried about the gun being pointed toward the airport, and being used to target aircraft(!) Fer Christ's sake, did they notice the tall...

It was a case of being at the right place at the right time for the U.S. Coast Guard and the pilot of a small airplane that crashed into the water near the San Carlos Airport last Saturday. The pilot was flying a single-engine Cessna from Oakland to the Palo Alto Airport when, "for some reason,...

A colleague of mine (also a fellow pilot) and I are planning a cross country flight in a Piper Archer from Jacksonville to Naplesthen direclyt south to Key West, then back to Jax following the Keys and through (or over or under or around) the KMIA airspace. We expect to do the trip sometime in...

Yesterday I was flying near another nearby airstrip where lots of Young Eagle flights were being executed. The pilots were universally identifying their calls with "Young Eagle, left downwind" or whatever. After reflecting on this a few minutes, I could contain myself no longer. I keyed the mic...

My FARAIM is at my daughter's house and I can't find anything on the 'net to answer my questions. Please indulge me.... Scenario: 1) line up with runway centerline 2) note compass heading 3) add/subtract compass card correction Questions: 1) How much error is allowable between known heading and...

The EAA Rocky Mountain Regional Fly-In is this coming weekend. It's being held at Front Range Airport (FTG) just south of Denver International Airport. This show has grown every year. When I went last year, I had a great time. If you're in the area, on the ground or in the air, stop on by! You...

Since it is going to be a hot summer, I'd better prepare for it. The regulation says: FAR 91.137(c) (c) When a NOTAM has been issued under paragraph (a)(2) of this section, no person may operate an aircraft within the designated area unless at least one of the following conditions are met: (4)...

Anybody have good information about this event? It's supposed to be the 22nd-25th at Wynkoop (6G4) in Mt. Vernon, OH but I am not having any luck tracking down an events web page for it. I have a friend that is just dying to see a biplane up close. -- Hello, my name is Mike, and I am an airplane...

I see in the local paper a plane "crashed" over at Mt Pleasant (MOP). There's not a lot of information available, but we had thunderstorms throughout the area with winds varying from calm to gusting over 40 along with hail and torrential rains. Here which is about 16 miles east of the MOP runway I...

I have been following the "Grass Strip" thread and have a few comments: I have a "high performance" Vintage Johnson Rocket (the hot rod of 1946) and have based it on both grass and paved fields and have flown into and out of grass fields ranging from "fantastic" to "I'd never go in...

Any links to educative material on livery design and implementation would be welcome, thanks a lot. Intrigued to know how all the fancy modern livery gets actually painted on the fuselage... or are stickers used? Ramapriya

There was an incident involving an Emirates A330 at the end of last month. The local newspapers here were rather reticent about what exactly happened, although it was reported that the Vienna-bound airplane was in the air for about an hour after taking off and had returned to make an emergency...

Why do people respond to post by people who are obviously simple minded , inept, clueless, morons, and or trolls? I'm reminded of a saying I once heard, "when you argue with a fool the by standards can't tell the difference." -- Chris W
