Hello All, I truly can not understand is why R.A.P. is dysfunctioning so differently from any other collection of like minded people. If MX were to stroll into the middle of Jay's campsite at OSH and begin to spew his tripe about flying in general and GA in particular, at the very least,...

I'm surprised no one mentioned "Strategic Air Command" starring Jimmy Stewart. The B-36 and B-47 scenes were outstanding, and the story wasn't too bad. Later Rock Hudson starred in "A Gathering of Eagles" which was likewise filled with great aviation scenes, B-52s galore, and a pretty darned...

What is typical cabin altitude pressure for airliners at cruise altitudes?

http://www4.passur.com/msy.html I know this has been covered here before, but not recently. The Airport Monitor applet is just too cool. To be able to watch aircraft coming and going, live, on a map of New Orleans, was science fiction until not long ago. I especially like being able to right...

Is there someplace on the web that I can find and search near miss reports. I searched this group, but didn't find an easy link. That, and my wife is ready to go to dinner, so I'm hoping for an answer by the time I get home. Thanks in advance Doug

My neighbor just failed his class 2 medical. He said he had to do something where the Dr would shine a pen light at him and he had to line up some lines. The Dr wasn't able to describe what he was testing but said it was new. I use a different AME but I don't remember doing that 10 months ago when...

Hi Everyone, Just wondering if any of you know anyone connected to the airlines. I have put a topic on ebay to try and get the airlines to sponsor me to get my commercial pilots licence. You can find it here...

Apparently there is an on-line test you must take before you take your Form-5 ride to be allowed to fly cadets or AF ROTC. Where is the manual that I need to study for this test? Thanks! -Robert

The most important article you have ever read "THE BEATLES CAUSED THE DISINTEGRATION OF MANKIND” The Rock revolution happened in the Sixties (6, number of the Beast). It came from Liverpool, which was the port base to the Titanic, destroyed by God because of the arrogant insult of Captain Smith...

Here are a whole bunch of pictures -- and videos -- of the MATS Constellation's visit to Iowa City this past weekend. http://www.alexisparkinn.com/2004_iowa_city_fly-in.htm Mary and I were able to log some right-seat time in that big, beautiful bird, with 84 (?) year old Frank Lang in the...

Clarion County (KAXQ) in western Pennsylvania has a comissioned AWOS-3 that transmits on 118.275. However there is no METAR report available for the field. Is there any particular reason why this is so? It seems a waste to have a functional weather reporting device that can't contribute its...

I thought this was pretty funny. My non-aviation wife has about 800 hours in the right seat but has never expressed any interest in aviation or the airplane (other than being a good method to get to cool places like the beach or a remote area of Mexico). Last night at dinner she was able to rattle...
