Hey everybody, I'm a volunteer with the World University Project (WUP) and I've been tasked with finding information regarding flight services provided for free to non-profit and non-governmental organizations, including charity flights, donated flights, travel credit systems (e.g., the...

Hi all I am looking for a publication quality (300 dpi at least) scan of an image published in Aviation Week on 9 August 1976. The image is copyright NASA, so it is copyright-free. Does anybody in the group have that issue and can scan it for me? reply at the address above after removing NO...

"This engineering was in a museum Aircraft technicians in Moscow earlier. But when a museum have closed, engineering have put on a separate platform open-air and it became nobody necessary." Nevermind the broken English. Photos of what's apparently a place near Moscow for abandoned Soviet...

Hi, I'm a new private pilot and new to this group. I have a question regarding FF. I plan to fly a direct route which will transit class c airspace. If I call "center" and request FF, will they coordinate my flight through class c, or will they hand me off to class c controllers until I'm clear of...

Hi, I'll be flying to Oshkosh from the Washington, DC area this year. Two years ago, I made a fuel stop at an airport that had a special deal during the AirVenture event. I think the airport was just south of Chicago. Does anyone know of a cheap place to refuel on the way...

When I got my first DVD of sectional images from the FAA I was thrilled by the quality of the scans. I did, however, notice that the sectionals had wide-ranges of colors to denote similar elevations. This was especially noticeable out west where the sectionals meet. Lately I've noticed that some...

It's always been my understanding that jets are inherently uneconomical to fly at low altitudes because of the amount of fuel they burn down where the air is thick. Now I read in the NY Times (http://nytimes.com/2004/06/14/business/14CND-ARMS.html?hp) that Boeing just beat out Lockheed for an...

Is it possible to upload / download routes / waypoints from / to a kln94. If so which programme can be used and must the unit be in "programme mode" mode ? programme mode is Switch unit on while pressing the "cursor" button. Thanks

Hi all. Looked around a bit for fuel efficient (big, commercial) airplanes. The best ones I found were the Tupolev TU-330 and the Antonov AN-70. They had cruising speeds/fuel consumption of 780-850 km/h and 118-125 g/t-km. Now my question: would lowering the cruising speed to e.g. 300-400 km/h...

Greetings. I am not a pilot, though some day I would like to start lessons. I live near TEB and CDW. I have two toddlers who love airplanes. At CDW, I have been able to find a place not on airport grounds where we can spot the planes taking off and landing. However, TEB is closer. At TEB, I...

According to FAA regulations, is there any restriction on the horizontal separation of aircraft? I was unable to find anything in the FAA regs: http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgFAR.nsf/MainFrame?OpenFrameSet Part 91, Section 111 ("Operating near other aircraft")...

One Reporter's Opinion: Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of Flight (1903-2003) by George Putnam Friday, Dec. 6, 2002 It is this reporter's opinion that in the hustle and bustle of our busy lives today, always on a red-eye to somewhere, we take flight all too much for granted. In commemoration...

Why even bother to have windows in a commercial jet? A Boeing press release makes note of the larger than usual windowns for their new 7E7 jet. Late model jets are full of video screens at each seat. Why not use snythetic views of the outside? The view from a window is limited. With video, all...

I see that the Fairey Rotodyne had a max. gross weight of over 32,000 pounds. The only gyro in which I have time was close to 2% of that weight. It's been years since I've been to a PRA fly-in, but I only recall seeing *little* (two-person max.) aircraft - much lighter than the 5200 pound...

Hello: I'm not a pilot. Saw a show on the first 707 on the WINGS TV channel regarding the barrel roll the test pilot did (unexpectedly) on the first test flight of the dash- They said that he was able to maintain a constant 1g during the maneuver.
