    For Sale King Air Flight Safety manual

    No cost for the manual....you pay for shipping. Super King Air 200 & B200 model, last update was revision 6, early 90's. Still has good info for the older models. Its in very good condition, in the original blue FS binder. I hate to see this thing get dumped in the recycle bin.

    Why three entrances to runway?

    Flew out of Taipei (TPE) the other day, headed for BKK. As we approached the departure end of runway 5, I noticed that there were three 'entrances' to the runway. All lined up next to each other, each slightly different. I'm taking a WAG that one is VFR conditions, one for really ugly and...

    Looking for an OLD Concord 'comedy' recording

    I used to have a cassette tape of a British Airways pilot talking about his career flying the Concord. It was a copy of a copy of a copy and barely understandable. But it was friggen hilarious to listen to this guy talk about flying the plane. I'm going to guess this was recorded about 20-25...

    fatal crash in Cashmere

    Pretty sad. Cashmere isn't an easy place to land at if your not familiar with it. I live about 1.5 miles from where this happened, never heard a thing. However, AFAIK, the coroner has not released the ID of the pilot. Several witnesses, several differnet stories...
