    OPEC price fixing?

    As this is an organization of several countries which import to the USA, how is this not price fixing and would not be in violation of U.S. anti-trust regulation? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-10-20/after-year-of-pain-opec-close-to-halting-u-s-oil-in-its-tracks

    New airport restaurant-KFUL

    If the cuisine is as good as what the new owner has done to the place he has a winner. He also owns an establishment elsewhere so hopefully he'll be a success at this new location. The online article does not mention everything the new owner has done. Example of this is the full flight...

    Ammo for everyone

    Ammo and more. Much, much more. The page is long but is easily viewed. Surely one will find something more worthy than a simple flame thrower. Actually, think of the FT as only a part of a larger personal arsenal. https://www.unammo.com/

    Jade Helm plane spotting

    Last week featured multiple H-60s flying roughly due west at lo alt. Most were single bird but some were in trail formation. Twice, on two consecutive days, I observed a single H-60 making a wide 360 seemingly centered on my location. Of course they entered the maneuver after flying directly...

    V 12 airway

    Some follow Route 66. I have been wanting to follow the airways. I got hosed. I thought V-12 which starts at GVO, NW of KSBA, (nothing but the sunrise starts in the east, sorry boys it's just the way it is) I thought the airway would at least follow I-40 across this great nation. But no...as far...

    Airfield notations

    See Additional Remarks http://airnav.com/airport/KMUI I know what PPR means. What is PRK? I hazard to guess it is parking. And what is RSTD?

    Pt 121 CRM

    Assume 'big iron' multicrew. What is happening in the cockpit 40 or 20 minutes or 10 minutes prior to beginning descent from cruise alt? Also, what briefings are made to cabin crew and when? I just witnessed an overflight of what I assume a flight from Mexico City to San Francisco...

    UH-60 and CH-53

    I believe the US Army does not operate the CH-53 in OD green. If that is correct the Stallions are Marine. But the Marines do not operate UH-60. I can only wonder what these two types are doing flying between 200-500 agl over congested city. For the past several hours their route has...

    FREE - Bushnell binoculars

    Bushnell Falcon 10 x 50 with carrying case. There is a problem but is easy fix. The knob for the central focus adjustment is connected to the center barrel by a bushing which looks to be press fit (interference fit) into the stationary barrel. This bushing is solid and looks to be made of pot...

    Prohibited airspace for past Presidents

    I noticed on the VFR sectional as shown on AirNav that P-49 for Crawford, TX is still shown. So I went to another airspace of which I am familiar...the hills north of Santa Barbara, CA do not show a prohibition for Reagan's ranch. Except for perhaps AirNav hasn't updated their VFR chart (a...
