This could be bad... (Presidential TFR in Reno next week). by
EridanMan
A Presidential TFR went up for Reno next Monday and Tuesday, which
also happens to be the first two days of Burning Man.
Please, if you know anyone thinking of flying up, make sure they're on
the mailing list, and they know about this... While the potential for
news headlines is amusing to say the...

Activating Rw lights...just for fun by
Ricky
O.K. so the "activating RW lights" thread got me thinking about the
many times I'd be over (or near) an airport at night and just clicked
them on for the heck of it. Well, sometimes it was to impress a
passenger, sometimes (as a student or new pilot) just to figure out
how it works, and a few times...

Bird strikes on light GA prop aircraft by
Maxwell
I was out hopping some of the local airports last Saturday night and had a
very near miss with a very large bird. It appeared to be a large owl, or
something similar. I was at about 50 to 100 feet on take-off, about 75
knots, and seriously out of runway.
The whole situation just got me to...

the DC-3 by
Kevin Clarke
Not the plane, the airports.
The Washington DC area airports KCGS, KVKX and W32 operate with
additional security requirements as specified under SFAR 94. I was going
through those requirements to understand what I have to do to land at
CGS. I'm not really asking about that, I'll go through that...

Camouflaged UAVs??? by
Neil Gould
After reading the comments in the article "..." in the current AOPA pilot,
I'm angered that someone things it's reasonable to put the responsibility
on VFR pilots to "see and avoid" a camouflaged UAV. What could possibly be
the rationale for such a decision?

If GA is down, why aren't used aircraft prices? by
Dallas
If the number of private pilots is down from 299,000 to 236,000, why are
prices for used aircraft maintaining and even out pacing inflation?
Economics 101, first day of class - price is determined by supply and
demand. Yet I've noticed over the past couple of years the average price
for a late...

Off in the weeds by
Dan Luke[_2_]
It was the second flight of the day for the conservation organization I do
volunteer flying for. The local Baton Rouge guy bird-dogging illegal Cypress
logging had me set up to take him, a reporter and a cameraman from the Fox TV
station up to video the bad guys at work.
4R is the shortest...

Lost a friend today by
Paul Tomblin
Back in May, I finally got a chance to ride along in a friend's float
plane, and he even let me do a couple of take-offs and landings. I was
hoping that since his plane partner had lost his medical, I could convince
him to take me on as a plane partner.
Today, that plane crashed, and my friend...

Cheap Airplane by
Phil
Recent discussions about whether or not general aviation is dying
prompted me to start thinking about why it doesn't seem to be possible
to build a really cheap airplane. I know that you can buy a trike or
an ultralight for around $20,000. But you can't really go cross
country in one of those,...

Military Paint Schemes by
Marco Leon
Something I've always wondered: are there any restrictions on how an owner
can paint their aircraft with a military paint scheme? In particular, the
L-39's have some very authentic-looking and current US military paint jobs
and I wonder if owners have to follow guidelines when painting...
