So I get that there was a problem, and the controller needed to keep things moving, but damn, show a little respect when the pilot is asking for information and pointing out an error that could have been deadly. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/runway-miss-creates-tension-tarmac-15337525

Glad to see that it wasn't the lack of filing a flight plan that caused the crash. :no: http://news.yahoo.com/guardsman-doing-maneuvers-crashes-dies-ohio-020047825.html

So I arrived at 0645 this morning and was suprised at the freedom provided for the test. I got the obligatory paperwork out of the way and was again suprised that the only sensors used were on the head. No leg sensors, no snore mics, and generally, the ability to be as comfortable as I want to...

So, does anybody know if the print newspapers vary at all from the online content that the same organization provides? What about e-readers/tablets? same as the print or website? I guess I was wondering if paying for a digital subscription really gets me anything more than just surfing their...

Sleep Apnea MWT/How do I get one? (UPDATED, Jan 2012) So, I had my physical back in July, and due to my sleep apnea treatment, the AME obviously had to send it to OKC for final decision. Took them some time, but they came back and asked for an updated report from my treating doc, only asking...

Not sure if this has been posted yet or not. It's about 3 weeks old, so I may behind the curve on it. Either way, I just found it, and found the story to read almost like a novel. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bs-md-chesapeake-plane-crash-20111029,0,3158460.story?page=1

It's kind of repetitive, but in HD, it looks awesome. Especially all the lightining strikes in the clouds. http://vimeo.com/32001208

Does anybody know if it's a requirement to have an operational tower for liveatc.net to work properly? We don't have a tower at KFDK, but when I pull it up on liveatc, the status is listed as "up" and I can connect to it. But there is no radio traffic whatsoever. I can see planes in the...

Found this while floating around looking for flight gear. http://martinsburg.craigslist.org/rvs/2568160171.html 1967 Cherokee 140 $36,500

Can somebody please explain to me why perfectly able body individuals walk up to a building with multiple doors, and push the handicap button, then stand there and wait for the slow a$$ motor to open the door for them, and then do it again on the interior door and wait again........when they...

So as promised, my next lesson covered steep turns and landings. And of course, I got scolded again by my instructor. Scolded in a good way though. She was mad that my steep turns were better than hers. Only had to do them a couple of times to include 720's in each direction and they were...

Going to a conference in Branson this week. Gonna have some down time, so I figured, why not have some "up time." Anybody have recommendations for a flight school or CFI w/plane in the Branson, MO area? or within a reasonable drive from Branson? Also, if any CFI's are interested in helping...

So far, things have been relatively calm and lots of fun. We have worked through take-offs, radio communications, and power on/off stalls, and slow flight, though for some reason, I feel as though the slow flight and the power off stalls were combined into the same excercise to show how one can...

It's times like this where I really wish the NHL was as much of a front runner as the NFL. How many NFL pre-season games went untelevised. Dare I say NONE!!! :no: How many NHL Pre-season games are going untelevised. Dare I say at least 90%. :yes: I know here in the DC area, NONE of them...

So I have the below reference. Can somebody please explain to me when/why you would choose to use one of them over another for a particular situation? Is one of them an "absolute avoid" at all costs? :dunno:

Just Venting!!!!! Had my intro flight last sunday and was ready to get going with lessons this weekend. Having horrible luck with CFI's though. I've talked to many different CFI's, but can't seem to get one locked in. One that I liked works for a school that I have no desire to do business...

OMG!!!, :goofy:that was unreal. Finally having a short and small possibility to see in action all the items that I've been reading and studying was very gratifying. All I can say is that they got me, hook, line, AND SINKER!!!! :yikes: Can't wait to call and schedule the first actual lesson...

Started reading through the weather information. :hairraise:. Hair raising was the first response, then after about 2 and half hours, it turned to :mad2:. Then I started reading through some of the practice exams which had 130 questions just on weather. :incazzato: Feel like I need to contact...

Ok, on many other forums I belong to, each and every one of them has somebody that has mapped out the Diners, Drive-in's, and Dives (from the Food Network show) location and taken their unique methods to tour many of those fine establisments. That said, has somebody taken the time to put their...
