Here is the CBS correspondent's reply to pilots' critcism, as published in the Aero-News email newsletter this morning. (I especially like the line about diverting our energies to finding a solution!) *********************************************** ....I'm sure you're aware that I have been...

I flew to Las Vegas for an extended weekend. I noticed something I thought was weird now that the Federal Government was in charge of security. Why is there a line for first class that brings your right to the front of the security check point. I thought the goal of the Federal Government take over...

Well, tonight will go in my book as something that I will never forget. Tonight I learned a valuable lesson and was able to live to tell about it. As a lurker here for many years, I have come to enjoy reading about people's experiences and try to learn from their mistakes. So tonight I am...

SCOTT MCCARTNEY writes a column in wall street journall called "the middle seat", and this was included in some responses regarding an article about airspace overcrowding in chicago: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Several readers, many of them pilots, took...

Okay, folks -- this is rapidly getting out of hand! I would never have guessed that I'd get EIGHTY-TWO suggestions for this list! Can everyone please scan this list, and MAKE SURE that these are REALLY "taxi-up" accessible using a G.A. plane? I don't want folks (like me!) who are unfamiliar...

The Federal government instituted CAPPS II this week. This is a more enhanced version of current passenger screening/profiling where passengers are assigned a risk category of green, yellow, or red based on information a passenger is going to be required to provide before being allowed on the...

I was thinking about getting my A&P license to help me become a better aircraft owner and pilot. I know a number of people out there have both and I was curious to hear about your story. For example, have you found it helpful as an owner and/or pilot? Did it take a long time to obtain? What are the...

Hi Guys, My father and I were returning to Petaluma (O69), called in on the 45 to downwind and were just about to turn downwind when a flight of three experimentals called in that they were set up for their "overhead entry". They were flying above pattern altitude on the runway heading, proceeded...

Any pilots / CFI's a member of this? Your input would be appreciated on your experiences, and if it's worthwhile for a current CFI to join.

I don't want this to sound like an advertisement for Lightspeed Aviation, but I have to hail any company that has outstanding service. My wife has a pair of 25XL headsets whose "stirrup" broke recently. We also have some 20XL headsets that are used for passengers. They had a screw missing along...

I got this conversion in Oshkosh, and I'm very happy with it. The other day in the plane I kept turning up the radios and I still missed a couple of calls, and my instructor wondered what was wrong with me until I realized I'd forgot to turn on the ANR. Once I did, the radio became clear...

Under the category of "suspicions confirmed," you might like to read this piece from the Aero-News email newsletter this morning: John Trissel: I Was Ambushed By CBS Eagle's Nest Operator Says He Was "Grossly Mistreated" By "Tiffany Network" "I've never been so let down in my life."

Here at the VGT airport there is a lanceair that has a turbo prop. I saw this guy take off today and it was impressive! He climbed almost verticle, first time I seen a plane, outside of a airforce jet, do that, then when he leveled off, tell you what, that is a seriously fast planes.

OK, well, I went through the Tivo recording of the CBS News show with the "Eye On America" piece that basically said that people who live in airparks should have to screen their passengers and their luggage before pulling their planes out of their garages. Here is the play by play of the...

Okay, I'm looking for a new hosting service that I will resell to my customers. I'm fairly pleased with the providers I have been using (webmasters.com mostly) but I have some higher-ended customers who may need a little more than webmasters provides. I like keeping business local wherever...

Hi Here's an update to my last posting of items I have forsale from the "going out of business" sale of a local FBO. Also I've added a few extra item which I just picked up from them, again all items are NEW in the box with original manufacture warranty/registration cards. All prices INCLUDE...

Finally got the parts that Vlado Lenoch donated for our new Mustang Suite mounted on a big ol' oak plank, and hung on the wall. Check 'em out at http://www.alexisparkinn.com/the_mustang_suite.htm (Pix are at the bottom of the page.) My personal favorite is the "Circuit Destroyer" that...
