I have made the jump to satellite radio for my car, choosing XM Radio as my provider. Wow, am I in love now that I am free of the canned format of commercial radio! :) I was wondering if anyone has taken the portable version of the XM radio receiver, in my case called the Delphi Roadie or Roadie...

Looking to buy a protable/backup transceiver. Any recommendations?

I am just about ready to buy an older Taylorcraft that has no electrical system. I am looking for recommendations on a battery operated radio to use in the plane. I would really like one that also works as an intercom. Danny Deger

Hi, I'm from Canada, can anyone offer an opinion on the best route from Portland ME to Chester CT, VFR no Mode C? If anyone knows the area, I would appreciate your comments. Thanks

A few months ago there was a discussion here about positioning on the runway at an angle to better see traffic from the rear while awaiting takeoff clearance, and I opined in the face of dissent by Steven McNicoll that it was a good idea. I had a chance to fly a 172 while I was out west and was...

I was returning to LOM today and after one plane had landed but not yet cleared the runway, a pilot at the approach end announced "position and hold". He taxied into position and waited for the previous aircraft to clear the runway. He then made a normal departure. I was taught at uncontrolled...

I just found the kind of GA story we'd all like to see more of: Local jet-setters take flight When time is critical, Triangle executives hop aboard their own planes Triangle Business Journal, January 16, 2004 http://triangle.bizjournals.com/triangle/stories/2004/01/19/story3.html - Nathan

So I was flipping through the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation today... and I saw an article about aviation. More specifically, it was in their weekly News for Kids section. It basically talked about general aviation in Georgia, in a positive light, and spread word about the Young Eagles...

Let me be the first to say: Great show, Roger! Congratulations on coming up with a new theory of Titanic's demise. To be able to "fly" 2.5 miles straight down into the depths of the North Atlantic -- wow! What an experience that must've been. Now go buy a Bonanza with all the speaking fees...

As our simulator captain has provided a link to, a plane crashed into a building just an hour south of my home in Waco, TX. What I want to say about this is that nobody knows whether or not this crash was "deliberate" or not and probably won't for a long time. To say otherwise is simply jumping to...

Ham radio and general aviation (GA) have a lot of things in common. Among them a They are both technology oriented. The members of each can't understand why more people aren't interested in

I got in a little trouble with the FAA and they want to take my license for 6 months. Now their case isn't too strong (and based very much on the subjectivity of "safe" and not on any clear cut violation of a FAR). I'm trying to decide whether to fight it (expensive attorney fees) or just suck it...

I can't vouch for the authenticity of this story. I was talking with an acquaintence I don't see often and he asked me: "You're a pilot aren't you?" I told him I was, that I'd gotten my PPL last August. He then launched into this story he'd heard from a relative who worked at the Udvar Hazy...

One of the guys who founded our flying club 40+ years ago is still a member. He's got a lot of experience, but quite frankly some things I've heard about him scare the hell out of me. But nothing quite as bad as this: He's proposing that the club does a "Missing Man Formation" over Bill Law's...
