Is Paul Harrop of AOPA now Sierra Harrop or is that a ...... relative?? Just wondering because I couldn't find any mention of it anywhere...

So was looking at different airports to fly to and ran across Deerfield Regional. Trying to figure out the status of this airport since it still shows on the sectional, still has a published approach, and still shows up on the Vermont transportation agency and FAA as "operational". Further...

Interesting article. One step closer to having complete automation one day. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/single-pilot-planes/index.html

https://nypost.com/2020/10/05/new-details-emerge-in-fatal-queens-seaplane-crash/ This is a tragedy. Not sure what happened but seems perhaps some issue in the cockpit. On a side note, I was fascinated by the owners set up. Has a hanger under his pool deck with a remote control door. That's...

So I was reading an older issue of Air and Space magazine and in the article on Camarillo airport there's a picture of a guys hanger (OMG, what a collection) and I see this odd looking twin that I've never seen before. Anyone know what it is?

A great article in the Atlantic that tells what most likely happened. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/07/mh370-malaysia-airlines/590653/

I just noticed this. Not that it matters but the news says the missing women from Colorado whose fiancé is charged with her murder was a flight instructor. Wondering if anyone here knew her. https://patch.com/colorado/across-co/kelsey-berreths-phone-idaho-woman-may-have-dumped-it-reports

So I was flying around yesterday looking for cheap fuel and decided to deviate to Pittsfield. Checked the NOTAMs on Foreflight and all that was mentioned was some instrument approach notices. Checked the ASOS, announced my intensions and whoa, there are trucks and bulldozers all over the place...

I saw this in the news about the new Vickers Wave Amphibian aircraft. It seems to have a very unique fixed gear landing gear system: Landing Gear The Wave has a fixed landing gear system, named Cross-Over™. This landing gear system reduces the risk of accidents when landing on land with gear...

Got this in my in box today. I've never seen a SST in TWA livery. It also looks like the old Boeing mock up too which I believe never flew, not a Concord version . Quick search on Google shows no other pictures of it in the boneyard. If real, how did it get there...

Not sure if this was posted somewhere but it seems the 84 year old pilot got out and is safe. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/pilot-84-rescued-from-fiery-plane-crash-north-carolina/ What intrigue me was the plane, a Superior T6, experimental..... What's that??? Finally tracked it down and what a...

So we've all done the gopro mounted somewhere on the plane. It's nice but if you wanted many angles you needed many cameras. What about this? https://360fly.com/videos/akeTXBuKiFZvay7b3jeERA/

and Chuckie Schumer wants the FAA to investigate. Does he have a point? Not sure that director of aviation from Farmingdale is helping matters. Not good for GA that's for sure. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/05/23/long-island-small-plane-crash/

Is this guy crazy or brave? http://www.grindtv.com/random/caribbean-tourist-hit-by-small-airplane-landing-at-dangerous-airport-video/#sR4JB3epyO9EdAHq.97

So I thought I'd put this out there in the hopes that there are some people who can help me find out if this plane is still around. As a kid, I had the pleasure of riding in a PBY down in the Bahamas that was owned by a group of businessmen, one of which was Willard Rockwell, Chairman of...

I've never been to enamored with Mooneys but I gotta tell ya, this looks like a great update. I'm happy to see some of these legacy manufactures are updating more than just a panel. Just adding a pilots side door is a big deal. It would seem that that alone would require a major FAA...

For those of you who don't know him, he a conservative blogger and commentator who is spot on most of the time. But the end of this video is where I learned something! He's a pilot! http://youtu.be/BF5lKNm6tU0
