"rather obvious that the “spyware” had been installed by someone at Cox Communications" by Mark IV
"Now I was angry. During the past 3-weeks I had already been forced to deal with illegal “spyware” installed on my computer most likely by Cox, harassing collection calls from Cox even though I had already paid my bill. And, now I had receive a harassing call from Cox, and the only thing on the...

"Requesting lower" by Tony
So here's the deal. You're at 11,000 feet doing say 120 knots over the ground and your sea level destination is 100 nm ahead. It's late, ATC is quiet, very little traffic, CAVU, you're pretty sure centger will give you whatever you ask for. What would you ask for? I figure something like this: If...

"Rolling the Equipment" by Judah
The other night I was on an airline flight... The weather was VFR. The plane did a low approach, wheels maybe 50' above the runway, and about halfway down the runway kicked the engines on and did a go around. The pilot came on and indicated that there was "an indicator light" that caused them...

"Rolling" to ATC by Mxsmanic
Under what conditions, if any, would you explicitly tell ATC that you are rolling, that is, actually rolling on the runway for take-off? I hear this used occasionally, but I don't know if there are any formal circumstances that merit it, or if it is just at pilot discretion, or what. It is...

"socialist" when describing Hillary Clinton by WolfRat
Current language usage compels me to use the term "socialist" when describing Hillary Clinton. The actual word we need to use is "fascist." The left, however, has managed to take the "fascist" word and turn it into an epithet against right-wingers. Nazis were fascists, right? Perhaps you might...

"Somebody check your mike on the radio, please..." by Jay Honeck
If I hear this ONE more time on Unicom, I'm going to scream! Is it *really* possible that one can be a certificated pilot, and *NOT* know that it's impossible to receive AND transmit at the same time? Is it *really* possible that a certicated pilot would transmit a statement like this into the...

"Street pattern" notation on charts? by [email protected]
Hello all! I'm wondering about a notation I've seen on a couple of VFR sectional charts. A small area - no bigger than about 3 or 4 miles on a side - will be outlined with thin black dashed lines, with a note "street pattern". The note is in the same typeface used for other landmarks like "golf...

"Super Guppy" at Heathrow? by AES
Taxiing in on a just landed United flight at LHR a few weeks ago, I caught a quick glimpse through a window across the cabin of what looked (to a non-expert) like a semi-derelict small-sized "Super Guppy" parked off by a big hangar: fat fuselage, three engines (one huge one up in the tail),...

"The Unit" on CBS Features GA by Marco Leon
One of the few shows I follow on a regular basis (thanks to DVR). The latest episode had a good 15 minutes of GA and the two planes they flew were Pipers--an Archer and a J-3 cub. It had all the elements of a very enjoyable show for me except for the fact that the J-3 was carrying a stolen can...
