Unfortunately, this mass media news story is not very clear about exactly what is proposed to change. It sounds to me that Philly Approach will take control of airspace that feeds Newark tower, whichbusee to be controlled by New York Approach. But unless I'm mistaken, the controllers of that...

THIS... Is CNN.

I know this place isn't pprune or largely geared towards professional airline pilots, but a question occurred to me last week. While the 737 Max is (was) grounded, does that mean flight crews that are assigned to fly the Max are also effectively grounded? Are they stuck earning the contract...

Apologies if this has been raised -- the video is ~3 mo. old. I think this exchange dragged on WAY too long over the air. I thought the pilot made some reasonable efforts to cut the exchange off. I would hope if I was a pilot in that situation, I'd have the presence of mind to simply say we'd...

I have close friends whose son will be reaching a milestone birthday this year. They live within a couple of miles of a reliever airport, with lots of air traffic overhead, and under the paths for arrivals & departures from the closest metro Class B complex. We spent the day with them this...

A coworker has had success on Lomaira (Phentermine). I see that phentermine is on the DNI list, along with naltrexone. My question is, the FAA guidance (https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/aam/ame/guide/pharm/dni_dnf/) seems to suggest ALL weight loss...

Was it a deliberate MC choice or Xenfro default to have hyperlinks appear in blue text, but not underlined? The difference between blue and black text is subtle, and sometimes you can't easily identify hyperlinked text without the underline, especially if the linked text is not explicitly a...

Airline cabin crew reveal their guilty secrets: from sex in the sky to short-changing passengers

The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club. Of course if you never discuss what conduct led to a disciplinary action, there is nothing to be learned about the incident except fear of arbitrary...

Interesting read. After 60 years, B-52 bombers slow, rusty and frighteningly effective

I know... Use the search box. I did, and my Google-fu seems weak today. If anyone recalls this discussion or knows about the series and can give me a point I'd be most grateful.

Two problems with searching for "RV" on POA: 1) its too short and the search engine rejects it; and 2) you're more likely to find a thread about the E-AB line aircraft than a rolling camper. Short question: Do the power/water hookup campsites routinely fill up each year? If so, when (first...

I tend to believe that anyone who picks up the phone to order a "Snuggie" deserves whatever they've got coming to them. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/03/06/how-the-snuggie-maker-deceived-its-customers/?tid=hybrid_linearcol_2_na

I'd hate for this to get lost on the tail end of a 20-page discussion. The "overregulation" theme that was a big part of the FlyteNow thread made me think of the title quote. It is crystalized in this comment from the DCPilots group:

Yeah, we all knew this already. Same thing with sports TFRs, and esp. the Disney TFR ("Temporary", heh). http://news.yahoo.com/ap-exclusive-ferguson-no-fly-zone-aimed-media-193552378.html

Perhaps I'm forever influenced by the picture of the elusive Beech Starship from my youth, but I was interested when I saw the Velocity V-twin make a splash in AOPA mag a couple of years ago. Anyone seen any of them "in the wild"?

We've got the UN General Assembly beginning today; POTUS arriving tomorrow for same; Yankees (19:00 local start) and Jets (20:30 local start) both playing at home tonight. I'm just here to say "Let's be careful out there." ETA: Skyvector Link
