Pilot NNNNNNNN was flying his personal plane from North Carolina to his Florida home when he decided to fly over his house and saw something unusual.
"He observed a silver truck with white camper in his driveway and...

Concorde Crash by
Orval Fairbairn
Here is an interesting story on the crash that grounded the Concordes:

It seems that the fire wasn't the cause of the crash -- it was basic
airmanship.

Just found this thread. Are you talking about the idiot who flew into Oshkosh without a NOTAM and carried on a two-minute conversation with ATC? Just curious... I know that idiot.

On Seeing, on Flying, and on Cataracts by
Vaughn
It's amazing how blind one can be and still legally fly. The FAA only
requires that your vision be corrected to 20/40 or better for a 3rd
class medical!
(See the difference between 20/20 and 20/40 he

I really like this plane by

At first this video almost looked like one of
those cheesy RC plane videos. But it isn't:

of mine is still waiting on his Icon A5, but now I

Pilot Resource by
Craig P
Have been working on a pilot resource website mainly centered in the Upper Midwest U.S. but lots of links and information/materials for all flyers. Glad to have you visit and check it out and not a commercial site. All free.

The Discovery channel Crash of a 727 by
a[_3_]
I'd be interested in comments about this program.
