Hey everybody! Finally finished my move to Kansas City. Any local KC people involved with the local EAA chapter?

A guy at the AMT board I also post at has this website and sells some cool t-shirts and stuff for AMT's. Not a lot now, but what is there is cool, and he plans to add more products http://www.aircraftmechanicshirts.com/shop/

Does anyone in the Atlanta area have a copy of the Jeppesen AP general book? I was told last night in my first day of class that I have to have one tonight or I get points deducted...I have one on order, but won't be here for a couple of days...would be willing to drive anywhere in the...

For you CFI's 1. Does the knowledge test expire? In other words, since it may be some time before I get to finish the practical part, and then do my checkride, can I go ahead and get some ground instruction, get endorsed and take the test? Even if it may be a year or more before I actually...

...can anyone give me some info on the EAA chapters in the area? Mainly just which ones seem to be the most active. What type of EAA fly-ins (pancake breakfasts, air shows etc...) are there. Thanks:)

August 25th Saturday at 12:00 noon. Downwind cafe at GMU(Greenville downtown) Post if you're in!

Well, last month it was suggested that we go out to Greenville Downtown (GMU) and eat at the Downwind Cafe. Wanted to get the ball rolling on this one, since it would be further away and require maybe some more planning. Is everyone still interested in doing this? Any dates that work best for...

Well, I went down to Atlanta Area Technical School and spent a hectic day enrolling in my first semester for the AMT program. So far I am taking Aviation Physics, Applied Aircraft Sciences 1 and 2 and hopefully will be able to get into Turbine Powerplants 1 on Monday....:D I am stoked!

For any of you who are, or have trained with a free lance CFI...I have a question. If you train with an FBO, you can rent from them afterwards... Obviously if your Free Lance CFI doesn't own their own plane, you would be using an FBO anyway...but if the CFI has his/her own plane, is it normal...

Came across this article...not sure if it has been discussed here at all. http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/2012-07-02/delta-deal-seals-fate-hundreds-50-seat-jets Can anyone "in the know" translate into english what this might mean for pilots and A&P's at the regionals and at Delta...

...for you AMT's and Engineer types, a question. Is there a specific reason(or reasons) that opposed engines are preferred for use in aircraft? Is it just that the shape works better, or is there something about the direction of force on the crankshaft?? Something else?

What is an example of a standard interest rate and term available for a 60's-70's model Cherokee or C152/C172?

Hey. Does anyone know if there exists a place online where GMM's for specific airlines and aircraft are available? I know it's probably not put out there by the airlines themselves...but maybe someone has PDF's online:dunno:

So tentatively set Saturday July 28th at 12 noon at Spitfire Deli at KWDR. Post here if you are coming. As always, suggestions, comments appreciated.

...or any other inspection for that matter? Is it a flat fee? Hourly? Depends? I am asking because I (being of the entrepreneurial spirit) am interested in getting my A&P, and my IA and potentially doing inspections free-lance. Just wonder what the earning potential vs investment would be like.

Well, we did Flying Machine and Elevation, I've been looking for another spot...the only ones I found(within a decent distance) are Spitfire Grill at KWDR, Downwind at KPDK(or 57th, but that's kinda pricey)...and one down at Peach State(GA2) called Barnstormers. Peach State is a grass field, and...

Is a D-bag... That is all... :-)

So, I know I don't even have my PPL yet...but I have been doing a lot of dreaming about my dream plane to try and get someday (this is a semi-realistic dream...not going for the Falcon or Lear) My mission would be to have the ability to transport me, my wife...and my two small dogs (and some...

So, I am pretty sure there is no reg about this, but just curious about something. If you are planning to overfly a Class D or C airport's airspace(and I mean like going to 4000 to go over a 3600 ft class D ceiling...not 18,000 ft above it), is it common or expected to contact the tower and let...
