Ahem. (tap-tap-tap --- Is this thing on...?) Just an FYI to all of you rec.aviation regulars out the Jim Burns turns the big FOUR-OH today, in Steven's Point, WI, U.S.A. (His wife, Tami, promised him that we'd keep it quiet...) :-) Unfortunately, 1/8 mile vis with freezing rain and snow...

Probably posted here a dozen times but it's a first for me. ;) -- Jim Fisher A guy sitting at an airport bar in Los Angeles noticed a beautiful young woman sitting next to him. He thought to himself, "Wow, she's so gorgeous she must be a flight attendant. But which airline does she work...

This is my first post to this rec.aviation.piloting so forgive me if this has been discussed before. A friend of mine who is IFR rated said there used to be a term called tower to tower to allow for an IFR clearance from one towered airport to another. This type of clearance wasn't as complicated...

On the nightly news "A little airplane crashed near Fittstown" (Fittstown is near ADA,OK (ADH).) The plane had two seats and one person was killed. The pilot was the only one on board and was on his was to pickup his wife in Dallas. The airplane was an antique aircraft. (That sure narrows it...

TRUTH wrote: In reality, a clueless non-pilot would encounter almost insurmountable difficulties in attempting to navigate and fly a 200,000-lb airliner into a building located on the ground, 7 miles below and hundreds of miles away and out of sight, and in an unknown direction, while...

Thanks to a discussion in a LiveATC.net's forum, I was unaware that there were actually different categories of ILS hold short lines. What is puzzling to me is that there are examples of the CAT III hold short lines being closer to the runway served by the CAT III approach than the CAT I hold...

In another thread the "folks by the fence" -- airport spectators -- have been discussed, and a couple of us have stated that we've always wanted to shut down and ask if anyone wanted to go for a ride. In my opinion, this single act of kindness would absolutely make someone's day, and could...

How many of you have experienced a bird strike? I apparently had one the other day and didn't even know it until I was wiping the airplane down and found a tuft of feathers on the prop's leading edge, right at the tip. No damage to the airplane and no guts splattered on the airplane. Maybe I just...

With your kind permission I would like to take just a few lines here to say goodbye to an old and dear friend. This Monday, retired AF Brig Gen Robert L. Scott Jr. died. He was 97. Scotty and I go way back together. When I was a young boy dreaming about becoming a pilot, it was Bob's book "God Is...

Last night I took a quick trip to KYUM. On approach, the controller mentioned that the "arresting gear was up" on the runway I was to land on. Being unfamiliar with arresting gear and flying an Archer, I asked the controller specifically what that meant. He indicated that it consisted of a cable...

Has anyone out there experienced transponder problems with one controller but not with a subsequent controller after a hand-of? For the third time yesterday (with the other two occurring over the past year or so) a NY Approach controller informed us that our transponder was only responding with a...
