I have some videos of the tiny Cricri aircraft, but all are of the petrol engine version. I know some have been fitted with R/C turbines, but can't find a video. I have tried Google. I have seen some photos. Any one know of a video? Regards Doug

Wings And Prayers The concept of prayer is not lost on most pilots, but it’s usually the result of something that happens in the air and not the reason for being up there in the first place. But 10 pilots from various states weren’t involved in the usual type of cockpit entreaties...

Is there a site that has flight instructors looking for a job? Fred

Beer makes for some unusual tales - at least that is what I found when I used that single keyword in a search of the NTSB accident database - though I expanded the search back to 1-1-1962 which yielded some of the more, um, interesting tales. 68 records contain the word "beer" - yet no matches...

With four hours to kill at JFK waiting to get back to SMF, I thought I'd listen to JFK ATIS. The second to last sentence has me somewhat puzzled. "...aircraft are requested to use the assigned runway for noise abatement. Advise the controller on initial contact that you have information...
