This mornings Houston Chronicle. "Air crashes kill 3 at 2 area airports" "Wind gusts possible factor." We had a couple of squall lines come through yesterday and some gusty winds. No names, aircraft types (said small planes) , etc. Crashes occurred at Sugar Land Municipal and Livingston airport....

Yesterday was clear, in the 60s (in November in Iowa!), and -- best of all -- our day off. With the kids in school, and the plane fully fueled, it was off to...where? Prairie du Chein, sitting at the confluence of the Mississippi and Wisconsin Rivers, beckoned, with its beautiful approaches,...

One of the greatest inventions of the 20th century -- indeed, one of the landmark inventions in the history of the human race -- was the work of a couple of young men who had never gone to college and were just a couple of bicycle mechanics in Dayton, Ohio This annoys me, the Wright's were not...

I have an end unit hangar (extra corner space) in which I am working on a Champ restoration project. There is enough space in the front of the hangar for a small high wing plane like a Champ or Cub or an Ultralight... It isn't the greatest hangar (it leaks a bit), but you can have the front part...

Hi, Anyone here have a pirep on "17 ways to fall out of the sky" videos/DVD? Seems pretty good, but I'd like to hear from other before buying. Thanks, Hilton

"Jeffrey Voight" wrote in message ... I'm curious about something I frequently see. When I look up and see contrails from airplanes, I often see more than one headed in the same direction, but separated by some distance. ...

Please excuse the cross post, but the topic might be of interest to several groups. I'm wondering whether providing light aircraft transportation services (people and/or cargo) and consulting to small businesses is likely to be a successful approach to setting up a very small aviation business. In...

Many of my emails in response to those of you who have sent me pictures for the new Rec.Aviation website have been "bouncing back". When it became obvious that it was NOT "everyone else's" problem, I contacted Mediacom to inquire about the service. Here is their reply -- anyone care to translate?...

Just watched a show called Repo Men with Vincent (Pussy) Pastore. They show a repo of an airplane, labelling it as a 1998 172. It's pretty clearly a '61 or so (swept tail but no rear window).

I've been asked to pick up my grandson's friend in Las Vegas at LAS on Dec. 26. I'll be motoring down in a C-172SP, strictly VFR. I haven't landed at LAS since long before they built a terminal -- back when the Hacienda would send a limo over to pick me up for lunch and take me back to...
