Where can I find out about jobs as a pipeline/powerline spotter? I called my power company today and their HR girls seemed to think I was off my rocker. Helen

Anyone here fly out of Tipton Field in Maryland (KFME) ? Just curious as to how you get your IFR clearance from there. Can you reach ATC on the radio (which agency, freq?) or do you have to call them (which agency, phone #?) Thanks.

As I suspected, the real reason for the closure of Potomac Airfield is the morons at Hyde. I have noticed for quite some time that there are certain people at Hyde who seem to have a vendetta against Potomac. They are extremely lucky I am no longer based at VKX. If they had caused my very expensive...

I am interested in doing crop dusting instead / in addition to flight instructing to build hours in order to get a good aviation job. What kind of experience do they prefer? I know all you legally need is a commercial liscense (which I already have), so will that be enough? Do they want more? I...

Can anyone recommend a good resource (or resources) for vacations by air "centered around" the north-east US? Since my kids are young, I'd like to start small but work my way up as they get older and more "seat-patient". Either "family" or "romantic" (ie. leave the kids at home {8^) are...

As a pilot who operated off county roads, has made many landings on freeways and interstate highways, I don't feel uncomfortable doing it. But, the average pilot doesn't give much thought to the possible consequences or the hidden dangers. Much more to it than meets the eye. This was an intentional...

An interesting article in the Washingtom Post. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/01/AR2005110101291.html -ash Cthulhu in 2005! Why wait for nature?

I tried to give Jay first dibs on this video, but apparently he doesn't want it. It's a fully restored B-17 and the video (shot about 1 week ago) shows the engines starting, takeoff, flying and the landing. It's 56 meg and almost 14 minutes long. Pretty cool...

Back in the training days of my PPL I had the bad habit of landing with a some throttle still in (instead of power idle) and with little pitch attitude. But the landings were always pretty smooth. Now I do what the instructor taught me: cut off all power before threshold and raise the nose wheel...

FSS has a new trick, calling the contact number on your flightplan at or BEFORE your ETA... Landed at Sedona this morning, called 800-WX-Brief to close VFR flight plan, walked into the terminal building and the guy behind the FBO desk says Prescott FSS just called looking for me. Huh!?!?! I...

Anyone here ever landed in such a strong crosswind? Found this posted to another group. This is a great video of 747 and 777 doing auto land certification crosswind landings, the 3rd and 4th shot are the best. It takes a minute to download and get through the credits but its worth it. ...

I'm considering getting the Terrain Awareness MCC card, for my 2000c and wondering if any of the list members have installed this upgrate. A third party, (non-compensated) review or or opinions would be very helpfull for our list members who are considering getting of these. What do you think of...

Saw this in AvWeb today (pasted below) http://www.pilotsharetheride.com/ Two questions: 1. What kind of plane is that on their home page? 2. Has anyone here used this service? "Although many pilots wouldn't buy a plane with fewer than four seats, the

Dave Stadt: If he is allowed in the general prison population he won't last a week. My guess he will be isolated the rest of his life. The start of his trial is imminent. "Flyingmonk" wrote in message

Were they the wide cord butcher props? Perhaps they spin slower? Mine are electrically heated but only the inboard third or so. (seneca) Peter wrote: The other day I was talking to a commercial pilot of a big twin passenger turboprop. He has been iced up a few times and recently was down...

Landing on 22 at KCDW today (after a fantastic little trip with my wife shooting photos of the fall colors around our town), I was instructed to taxi via H to N to RN tie-down. P, the taxiway normally used to reach N from that point, was closed for construction. That taxi clearance put me in...
