JFK gave Barbara Pierce a lesson in life in the summer of 1944 (making her a "Cape Cod heiress"), and to her eventual husband, JFK gave a personal motive for revenge. Perhaps if George and Barb had announced their earlier engagement or even if George had given Barb a diamond instead of a cheap...

I own a '65 Cessna Skyhawk with a Lycoming O-360-A1A turning a constant speed prop. I recently read an article in the Cessna Pilot's Association on too high of oil temperatures, but that is not my case. I have been in contact with them and they also suggest I get the wisdom of the NG. The oil...

I am in the throws of my annual on the aircraft. This year I have several things needing fixing and one is the leaky fuel selector. Well, let me tell you that is no easy job. I had to take a lot of the plane apart to get to it. What was Cessna thinking when they designed the placement of the...

Not sure who is here anymore, but I have been a poster over the years and learned many things here and also saw some very sad personalities appear in what would have been good discussions. However, I digress. Just letting the community know that I have sold my nice IFR Skyhawk after 12 years of...

I am getting close to this event. I was wondering how those that have already retired keep an airplane. I am fortunate that I have a moderately priced hangar, reasonable (this is relative) fuel for my area, and perform owner assisted annuals. But, I am concerned on keeping the flying going and...

Does anyone have a working 14Vdc cooling fan that they would like to part with cheaply. This will be for a non-aviation use. Contact me at ross.richardson at raytheon dot com. Let me know how much. Thanks. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP KSWI

Jay and other owners of this aircraft. Any documentation on cracks forming on the horizontal tail surfaces. The -235 I am helping on annual had three additional cracks in the skin beyound the two that were repaired by the previous owner. Got some old skin and made conforming patches. --...

Has anyone done much business with Ameri-King? I purchased a brand new ELT from them (via Aircraft Spruce) last week and it came in with a defective ARM/OFF/ON switch. It would not stay in the ARM position. I overnighted it to Ameri-King for repair/replacement. I just got off the phone and they...

Hope you are still reading the NG. Congratulations on being awarded the Master Aerial Photographer designation. I just read about it in the July 2006 AOPA Pilot (page 54). I have see your work on your website. If I ever get to New York, I am coming to see you. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180 hp KSWI

I have a photo of my father standing front of a Piper J3C. The year is probably 1939 or 40. He was in the CPT. This was the first plane if flew and soloed. FAA records shows "Registration Pending" and the address is 114 Wholesale Ave NE, Huntsville, AL, 35811. I have tried several back door...

Has anyone found a reasonably priced source for lenses for the King Silver Crown series of radios? In particular, I'm looking for lenes for a KX 155 NavCom and a KNS 80 RNAV unit. Chieft Aircraft has these listed, but they are way over the top cost wise, even for airplane parts. KX 155 lens is...

Anyone know of owner groups and/or type clubs for the Piper Aztec and/or Piper Apache type, PA-23-xxx? I'd be grateful for the contact info. Thanks, Ronnie Hughes http://www.HughesAviationServices.com

Just got the word from the A&P that the exhaust system on my 1976 M model 172 needs overhauling because of cracks and leaks. I'm compemplating replacing it with a Power Flow Systems tuned exhaust rather than having the stock OEM system overhauled. The A&P is guessing the overhaul cost will be...

My 1976 Cessna 172M uses a PAR 46 size GE4537 lamp for the landing light (12V, 100W). It is mounted in the lower cowling under the prop and does not last very long. I suppose the vibration of the engine kills the life of the bulb. I sure wished Cessna had designed this landing light installation...
