Hi Kevin, Great write up as usual! :-) Glad to hear the approaches are getting better. Knew it would come though, it was only a matter of time. That's got to be some kind of rush when it finally all comes together. Congratulations! Your first experience with settling with power sounds fun! ...

I am about to start my career in aviation, flying helicopters. and am looking for some feed back on the industry and what it's like to land that first job after completing my training.

Kevin: If it makes you feel any better, Mike Zemlock, CFI, plus an examiner with scads of hours, told me that people are surprised to learn that hovering is NOT the hardest thing to learn. It is a normal approach!!. I thought that I would never get it and I had been flying my Safari for a...

The OTHER Kevin said I'm kinda hoping we can fly over to my kid's school and circle overhead while they're at recess. My kids got so tired of it, I don't really do it much anymore! Of course my wifes (and mine to if I have to admit it) dog runs and goes crazy every time he hears a helicopter. ...

Anyone have details? Bryan "The Monk" Chaisone

I don't post here often but I have read w/ interest your diary of flight lessons. A few questions if you don't mind: Why are you cooling down an R22 ( I assume from your threads that is what you're flying) for five minutes before you disengage the clutch? R22 checklists state a 2 minute cooldown...

Hi Guys, Im after a video link that was posted on this newsgroup sometime ago.. It was a long video (approx 30mb) of a Schwiezer/Hughes 300 doing aerobatic manouvers at low level at an airport! I remember it had a sound recording also including Robbie William :( Anyways, anyone know the link for...

Sitting here in Mobile, Alabama watching the storm track headed right for us. Of course many are preparing for it and offshore rigs have begun evacuating. We haven't made a decision to move the aircraft out yet and that will probably happen tomorrow. With Brookley field sticking out into Mobile...

Hi everybody, This week I have uploaded a video of a helicopter crash on my website (www.dappa.nl/crash.htm). Does anyone have a clue about the failure that caused this crash? It is definately not an engine failure or a tail rotor failure, but it still looks like a spectacular decend. For the...

GREAT AVIATION READS Ran across two great aviation books at Amazon.com that may be of interest. One is entitled THE LAST FLIGHT OF THE BLUE GOOSE at: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1413706843/qid=1094831904/sr=ka-1/r ef=pd_ka_1/104-0160304-5111104 It`s about B-24 bomber that simply...

Here's something I was reading: http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99996380 So beyond the mere claim of being more efficient, why would it actually be so? The claim of hovering for 4 days is quite a jump, when compared to Global Hawk. Is this even vaguely realistic?

I hope this works, http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=624&u=/ap/20040827/ap_on_sc/flying_cars_1&printer=1 Bryan "The Monk" Chaisone
