There's at least 10 abandoned at HNL by the T-hangers, which is surprising since it's class B. Sometimes on the weekends when the flyers aren't parked among them it looks like a junkyard of abandoned planes.

I've heard the first F4's were designed and built with no gun since the PTB thought the dog fight would have no place in future air war. Truth or myth?

Thanks everyone for the responses. I downloaded something from here and have it set up on 2 screens. I don't think I'm able to fly, still working on that, as it looks to be just a trainer and not a sim. Works from my purposes though. http://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/garminapp

Does anyone have a good training source they'd recommend for the G1000? I'm taking a couple of flights with a local school here to get signed off on the DA40. I looked around for free downloads, which is how I mostly learned the 430w in our 172, but it seems there are only pay courses...

That's amazing.

Yeah, I'm wondering if I'm reading this as you meant it as well. The odds of you selling 6 different planes and all of them crashing on their very next flight are astronomical.

Good stuff, I do the same. I read the NTSB reports for similar reasons I welcome the speculation. My end goal in these instances is to gain knowledge of the who, what, when, where, and why. Most of the time we have to wait a while to learn the 'why.' In the meantime, I often learn more about...

Holy Christ on a cracker..I've been around here for a few unfortunate accident threads and everyone of them ends up the same. Also, what's with the whining about folks speculating, it's a friggin message board, journalistic integrity is not a requirement. Welcome to the internet. Carry on.

Go Hogs! Congrats man. Great job on never giving up.

Yeah those other guys want a ton to fly in the Beaver float plane. Grant and Tham are good people at TRFS, and you won't go wrong renting from them. They aren't the cheapest, but I think you're right in that they have the only 6 place rental available right now. Grant is a character, but...

Thats my old school. The aztec is 200/hr dry and the last I checked was dual only. Fuel is about 6.50/gal right now. Not a fan personally. Check out Moore Air and I highly recommend Georges Aviation.

Right, but on one hand you're talking about mental health issues and the general populace, and on the other you're talking about it and pilots. As we know though pilots aren't a very good sample of a cross section of society because of all of the training and testing that we undergo...

Right, because I'm sure they'd be super thankful afterwards that you saved the vast majority of them from the terrible torture of inevitably one day dying in their sleep.

Lufthansa saying they are "aware" of NYT story but have no comment.

It requires a conscious person and a deliberate action of someone inside the flight deck to lock someone out and prevent entry to the flight deck.

The bewilderment of the Lufthansa CEO regarding this incident is telling. There has been no mention of any faults being revealed via ACARS. If you cut back to AF447 they were referenced very early in the piece. The Lufthansa CEO would be apprised very early by his own people if any hint...

Very cool.

He shut down GA flying over and around the entire island of Oahu around Christmas for about 3 weeks. I, along with every pilot I knew hated it, especially the ones that were working on practice for upcoming check rides. If someone wanted to nose dive a cessna into AF1 on the tarmac at Hickam...

Thanks for making the distinction re: SMOKING. I think we're in agreement on the point that inhaling smoke of any kind is bad for your lungs. I just want to make sure we don't lump "pro pot" in with "pro smoke." The lost benefits of the hemp plant for society are tragic, in large part...

Just because you're "pro-pot" doesn't mean you're a smoker of pot. There are countless ways to ingest THC, whereas cigarettes have to be smoked to be ingested. In fact, you can be pro-pot, and hate any and all types of smoke. See how that works? There are also many people who are pro-pot...
