Re: FBI Building Hit By Small Plane Also from the Statesman: FAA confirms plane came from Georgetown By Ben Wear | Thursday, February 18, 2010, 12:29 PM The plane that hit a building today took off from a Georgetown airport at 9:40 a.m., before heading south and slamming into an office...

Re: FBI Building Hit By Small Plane There is an A Joseph Stack III in TxDPS Driver License records with a 1956 DOB (which matches the 'note' being attributed to Joe Stack on the Austin American Statesman website)...last renewal was in 2004 with an address on Parmer in North Austin. Also...

Re: FBI Building Hit By Small Plane I did, however, find that there was a Joseph A Stack that had a Piper PA-28-236 with a last action date in 2007. Tail number shows to have been flown from Portales to KGTU last August (no activity on FlightAware more recent than that using the tail number)...

Maybe they were using scalene instead of equilateral :rofl:

No, flying out of AUS but doing some landing work at 50R. We mapped out Llano for a XC...my comment to the instructor (who is not a native Texan) is that we needed to make some BBQ runs.

Any announcements that they were flying tandem? I watched a similar thing a few weeks ago at one of the untowered fields around Austin but they had radioed intentions all the way around...I stayed out of the way and watched.

I guess we can say 40, although it was right on the cusp of 41... I'd knocked the idea around off and on for several years but finally made the inquiries during June. Had one of the intro flights the week prior to the 41st and actually got started three days after turning 41. Seven weeks...

thnx all... in no particular order: - don't think there were any pics taken. I know I didn't have a camera (other than the cell phone and I didn't think to take a pic of the empty seat) and I don't think the instructor did either. Did get the 'congrats' comments from the two people working...

:blueplane: First lesson was on June 19th...since getting started in June, I had logged right at 25 hours, including a few hours in a different craft. Since then, I had also accumulated approximately 55 take-offs and landings in Austin and the surrounding areas. The elements worked against me...

Interestingly enough there was an article in the Houston Chronicle (at least in the web version) about Continental carrying more and more of the mail and using that work to offset the other losses. They also made reference to the increase in available space on some planes as customers started...

damned kids :rolleyes: oh well, at least it's only $75

As someone who went through the decision-making process within the past month, one of the things I looked at was the cost-per-hour for the rental. I cannot offer insight on the 172 vs 150 question since I am not training in a Cessna, but I have a choice between a two-seater and...

And what's worse is that Lawyer E will take the case on contingency...meaning that plaintiff attempting to manufacture a settlement does not have to come up with dime one to commence suit. The answers to all civil matters do not rest within the walls of the Courtroom...sadly, the media has...

Not really sure if I quite qualify as a 'refugee' since I found rec.aviation about the time it seems to have disintegrated...and it took a little time to get the registration done since the CAPTCHA screen wasn't there for a period of time. But it finally appeared and thus I was able to get a...
