Decalin instead of TCP? by
Bob Fry
With the demise of 80/87 avgas, I bought a gallon of TCP and will
start adding that to the 100LL that I must now buy.
However, scouting around the internet I found something that claims to
be similar in function but safer: decalin. Here's a blurb from
Aircraft Spruce. My questions are, has...

Lookup flight number - plane ? by
Evert
Hi all!
Is there a way/place where I can find out what brand/model plane is
(usually) used to service a certain flight number? I booked my
holiday, and am curious what kind of planes I'll be flying in... ;-)

Jimmy Franklin Airshow - Heart Memorial Fund by
[email protected]
Hey everyone, if you want to contribute to a great memorial, and get a
tax deduction, please consider the Jimmy Franklin Heart Memorial.
Anyone who has ever seen Jimmy perform at an airshow knows what type of
entertainer and pilot he was (I think he should have been an
astronaut). So if you've...

MC
Anybody know how for long the electric fuel-pump
in a fuel-injected Piper-Arrow IV can be
operated for.?
indefinitely ? or intermitantly ?
The POH is somewhat vague as it says that the
electric pump can be turned-off in cruise and
I haven't spotted a limitation in the POH yet.
The reason I ask,...

Scanner by
Greg
I plan on going to Oshkosh again this year. I enjoy getting there a
couple of days early and sit near the flight line and watch all the
planes arrive. I think it would be more enjoyable if I had a scanner
to listen to air traffic control. Could someone recommend an
inexpensive scanner for this...

It is this reporter's opinion that in the hustle and bustle of our busy lives

Flying jets at low altitude by
Roy Smith
It's always been my understanding that jets are inherently uneconomical
to fly at low altitudes because of the amount of fuel they burn down
where the air is thick. Now I read in the NY Times
(http://nytimes.com/2004/06/14/business/14CND-ARMS.html?hp) that Boeing
just beat out Lockheed for an...

AVIATIONTOOLBOX: recent FAA sectional scans by
Kyler Laird
When I got my first DVD of sectional images from the FAA I was
thrilled by the quality of the scans. I did, however, notice
that the sectionals had wide-ranges of colors to denote similar
elevations. This was especially noticeable out west where the
sectionals meet.
Lately I've noticed that some...

I'm not a pilot.

the test pilot did (unexpectedly) on the first test flight of the dash-
They said that he was able to maintain a constant 1g during the maneuver.

What are Boeing's plans? by
David Lednicer
Here is an interesting question: the USAF KC-767 deal was supposed to keep
the 767 line open, but this deal is dormant. If the USAF doesn't act soon,
they won't be able to buy 767s as the line closes real soon. With this
in mind; how are they going to buy E-10s (767-400ERs) if the line is closed?

Power pack for camping? by
Paul Tomblin
I'm going to be in plane camping at Oshkosh this year, and I'm wondering
how I'm going to keep my camera batteries and iPod charged. I know from
harsh experience that keeping the airplane master on to use a cigarette
lighter adaptor runs down the plane battery pretty damn fast, so that's
not a...

Question about air turbulence? by
QuantumHED
How fast does air around the fuselage of a plane move compared to its
velocity. for example, if a plane is flying very close to the ground at
300mph per hour over my head, will I get blasted by 300mph gust? somebody
let me know. thanks.
