Hi, Does anyone know where i can rent a Plane, "Cessna 172-182-206" in the vicinity of Columbus OH or DETROIT ? Walter remove '.remove' to reply

I was recently on a flight where I was able to listen to the Pilots speak to Air Traffic control. It was quite fascinating but I understood very little of what they were saying. Does anyone know of a good resource for their terminology? Also, I was wondering if anyone knew what the following...

A friend sent me this and I thought I'd share it with the group: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/survival/skills/index.html Lots of food for thought. -R

New to powered flight. It's a jungle out there. Seeking the short list of the most popular 4-seat single engine aircraft made in the last ~20 years. What are the best options? (Used, fixed gear.) ::tuno

Question for insurance experts - Insurance for the Columbia 400 is absurdly high compared to other similar aircraft, presumably because the premiums are loaded due to lack of significant statistics. Any idea how long potential Columbia buyers can expect to wait for the premium to stabilize? Can...

I'm sure this was discussed for a while after it happened...I wanted to bring this up again...I was just reading an article that I came across explaining how Corey Lidle's crash into a Manhattan Building could have happened. Some people say it was mechanical failure, others say it because he flew...

I think people complaining that the Cessna LSA isn't competetive in terms of useful load are missing something. They've obviously targeted the training market and as such probably have ruggedized the airframe and systems to withstand the abuse of legions of students learning to aviate. It's not...

....in at least five ways that I've found so far: o The 496 allows extensive customizing of displayed data fields. The G1000 is very limited in this respect. o The 496 automatically records each flight's origin, destination, time and distance. The G1000 lacks this feature. o The...

Well, for a while I thought a new day had dawned... Here's the scenario: Launched VFR from Saginaw headed to parts 28 miles south of Cleveland... 19 Miles North of Detroit City Airport (I refuse to call it the other name) I called ATC and asked for VFR following and Lake Services... The Detroit...

"Nope. Absolutely not. Guaranteed. No new Garmin aviation portable at Oshkosh. That ship will not sail." From one of the Cessna Pilots Ass'n forums. Apparently, Garmin dealers have been given the word. -- Dan T-182T at BFM

Just wondering if anyone out there has used or is using the Bendix King KLN 90 GPS? In particular what are owners impressions overall of the unit. How easy is it to use? Screen any glare issues etc Thanks in advance

We're relaxing in the cool evening air on row 564, just north of RWY 9/27 at OSH, digesting burgers & beers from Friar Tuck's. The field has closed for arrivals and things have gotten quiet after a busy day. Looking forward to the first day of the show tomorrow and the N40HOPS party...

Best-selling mystery author Marcia Muller has written me into "The Ever-running Man" as the manager of the Little River, CA airport. She hadn't forewarned me, so reading my own name was a pleasant surprise. Bob Gardner

As gas -- and corn -- prices creep ever higher, everyone in my great State of Iowa is all ablush with talk of riches pouring in, thanks to ethanol production. They can barely contain their glee at this remarkable turn of economic fortune. (Remember, just a few years ago farmers here had one foot...

I took a trip with my family and went to a website to find a hotel. Of course I chose the lowest rate. When I finished the confirmation process, I saw that I had requested the Government rate. The difference was over $100 per night ($148 vs $269 per night) OOPS! Spoke with my younger brother,...

Back in the early '80s, I became involved with Arthur and Terri Jones when Arthur attempted to start an airline in the Los Angeles area using 3 B-707 aircraft that he had purchased. The attempt failed when Arthur refused to provide adequate financial data to the DOT. Forbes listed him as one of...
