Well, it has some pretty good general aviation footage :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nrq31J6RbgU I don't know why I thought of this movie today. I loved it as a kid. I admit I havent seen this scene in probably 15+ years, didnt even think of it really. Amazing what you can do with the...

Just got back from waiting an hour to walk around inside the B17G “Aluminum Overcast.” http://b17.org EAA sponsored the event at the airport I fly out of. I brought my family, wife and 9 month old to see this old bird. Took several pictures. I hope the next time I see one of these I can...

Had the local news on while I was working from home. Every 5 minutes it was a 'breaking news story' for over an hour with the same 4 sentences. So much for *new* news updates. http://snipurl.com/pm75 ANYWAY... Their reporter is flying over the wreckage in their news helicopter and says...

Seems like the worst thing you can do, (or maybe a good thing to do depending on how you look at it) is go to news.google.com and search for plane crash. Is there ever a day there's not a news story on an "single engine" or "cessna" or "had engine trouble" story of an accident? BAH!! (this...

Nothing like seeing a common name from POA inside Flight Training Magazine with a decent picture too ;-) Good Job Nick!

Not sure if anyone saw this yet but I just ran across it. For those of you (like me) that also dabble with Microsoft's Flight Simulator I just found this released information today. Looks like some serious eye candy, and a 2006 holiday release. Check out these first release screenshots...

Well this is the first time I have seen my home airport closed down. Closed except for helicopter operations. Last night a Swearingen Merlin II, a twin-engine turboprop, crash landed. Both people onboard got out of the aircraft fine but the aircraft was destroyed. From the pictures I have seen...

I saw this when I went and read the thread here titled "Just havin' a little fun - The Pinnacle Crash..." There was a link on that story that lead me to this: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/01/12/earlyshow/main666322.shtml Theres also a video which after watching making you "think"...

This came to mind today as I was checking the weather from my desk at work. (Yes I know, very busy where I work ;)) Below are METARs from some of the local airports. (I rent out of LZU) KWDR 082240Z AUTO 32014G19KT 267V337 10SM CLR 07/M05 A2988 RMK AO1 KPDK 082153Z 32015G21KT 10SM CLR 08/M06...

Well, the only close call I may have experienced that turned out to be a great lesson learned for me, and it may not even have been a real close call but at the moment it gave an anxious feeling, was on my first real go-around. Few weeks before my checkride I was working around the pattern...

Well, no pilot related medical message board would be complete with out a discussion thread on Color Vision issues. I guess I'll be the first to break the ice on this one. I know I learned a lot from the folks on the *other* message board of the respected organization we know of. :) I'm...

Wondering how many folks here use the AOPA Flight Planner? Might be interested if there are enough people, to open a discussion on some of its features and use. Safe Flying!
