I just took over the admin & accounting duties for one of the planes I am a partner in and would welcome some help on a structure and tax issue. The plane, a 1977 PA32 is held in an S corporation. The problem is, as I see it, we unfairly are paying income taxes on our own money when we...

I have the iPhone 4S that is out of memory so FF doesn't update fully. I trimmed away photos but hate to dump all my music too. What are you guys using to avoid memory overload?

I recently had a gear extension problem in our 1977 Piper Lance. None of the gear extended normally, so I went to a safe altitude & area, slowed, held down the emergency gear extension lever and executed the reccomended maneuvers. No Joy. I began pumping the lever and after many, many...
