I'm wondering if anyone is based at RDU or vicinity and might be able to provide any info about rental availability, clubs, FBOs, and so forth. Also Horace Williams, from this outsider's perspective it seems to be pretty much a UNC facility? Any clubs, rental availability, etc? Thanks for...

This may be old news, but it appears that new hangars are being built at KUGN, near Stick & Rudder club. They are extending taxiway C2, adjacent to what the FAA airport diagram calls 'porta ports'. Given what I can see so far, these will likely be another 2 rows of clamshells, similar to the...

So I'm on my way home from work tonight, cranky because it's so damn hot and only going to get hotter, tired at the end of a week that felt like I was working in the tower, and I turned out of a parking lot headed for the tollway, and crossing my field of vision is the Collings Foundation B-17...

This past weekend I flew right seat in 2 different planes into and out of 2 different airports (Piper at KPWK and Skyhawk at KUGN). Listening to the controllers at Palwaukee I have a hard time understanding what they are saying, and I always thought it was my hearing, or maybe my cheap headset...

Coming home from CT yesterday, flew UAL direct from BDL to ORD, Capt. Lenahan (sp?) refused to turn on Channel 9 so we could hear the comm. What's up, big guy (whoever you are)? What's the problem with letting your paying passengers hear what's going on between you and ATC? There are so few...
