Kim Jong Un is taking flying lessons!

Hi guys... Looking for used IFR training materials to study for groundschool and IFR written knowledge test. I used the King Schools videos for my Private training. Corny as they were, I found them to be effective. If anybody out there has something like that gathering dust that they'd...

I was bicycling from the North 40 where I was camped all the way to the Scholler entrance closest to Vintage. I do this because it is a lot faster and less physical exertion to get to Airshow Center than by walking in the N. 40 entrance. While biking along outside the fence from Homebuilt...

I may be flying in the Virginia area, has anybody flown into Norfolk, gotten a car, and taken a tour of the Battleship Wisconsin in Norfolk? It looks like KPVG airport is my best bet right now. Anything else I should see in the area?

I'm going to be flying a Cherokee Six -260 with a CFI next week to get checked out in it. I'm looking for any tips, tricks, and hints for this airplane from preflight to landing. What airspeeds to fly, what power settings to use, etc. I have about 220 hours and most of that time is in...

I could buy two Claw kits for the RV, get a total of four anchors that way, and still come out ahead vs. the aircraft kit... :rolleyes: The Claw tiedown kit for RV awnings, $25.66: http://tweetys.com/the-claw-tie-down-kit.aspx The Claw tiedown kit for airplanes, $84.99...

Just planning my trip to Oshkosh this year. :D What's the nearest liquor store to the North 40? I will have a bicycle and a backpack. Probably faster than riding the bus.

Pretty simple poll. What US State is your primary residence? For those who live outside of the US, there is a poll choice for you too! Vote carefully!

I like the old Douglas artwork they have repurposed.

How much money do you make per year as an individual? If you are married just vote with your individual income--NOT as household. I put this poll up because there have been many threads on money and how much money it costs to fly. It would be interesting to know what kind of distribution we...

This is in Syria. A Mi-17 helicopter looks like it is damaged and is in what looks like a controlled, rapid spiraling descent when it explodes. The helicopter is under fire the whole time from small arms. I feel a little sorry for the pilots. :yikes:

Hey, did anybody else notice the plane in Gangnam Style was a Mooney M20? :D

I know this is a silly question, but how much would it cost to retrofit a Beechcraft Bonanza from having a throwover yoke to one with dual controls? It's a Beech G-35 if that matters.

Landing MiG-21 overran the runway, through a fence, and onto a road. That's all the details I have for now.

I'm planning on departing KMIC on 7/26 and staying through 7/29 VFR weather permitting.

Yes, flying a cross country trip is possible without an iPad, even with the terrain whizzing by underneath you at full rental power! :D

I couldn't even tell what kind of plane it was from the wreckage... http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2012/03/21/plane-crash-kills-3-people-north-of-glencoe/ GLENCOE, Minn. (WCCO) — At least three people have been killed in a small airplane crash just north of Glencoe on Wednesday, according...

I have a friend who got a DWI when he was 20. Yes, bad move for him, I know. He is now 26 and hasn't had any drunk driving violations since. He has had speeding tickets, but nothing he lost his license over. He now wants to be a Private Pilot for recreation, not as the start of a future...
