    What is it..

    It looks Italian for some reason. Maybe the red. Just intuition but if I had to guess I would say the builder doesn't speak english. I don't know why. I like the planes looks and that is a true glass cockpit.

    Why would the FBI be the lead agency on the Gulfstream G650 crash in New Mexico?

    If that was Area 51 I would speculate energy (laser) weapon, and tractor beam.

    Bullet Hole in 737

    How long do you guys think the hole could have been there. Years? Or do they check fuselages periodically.

    Ever seen a UFO?

    USS Enterprise the first nuclear powered carrier was supposedly a ufo magnet. Many reported and probably many non reported sightings. More ufo's are reported at sea than in the air. Maybe because the FAA isn't involved in shipping.

    The best 4 seat STOL bush planes.

    Even if money were no concern? That Sherpa is $700,000 in parts and then you have to assemble it.

    The best 4 seat STOL bush planes.

    The 850hp Turbine Super Sherpa. Under 100' take off at 5000#'s at 3000' alt. So they say. Empty I believe is just under 3000 pounds with a 6000 pound gross. I love this plane but at 35 gallons per hour it is cost prohibitive.

    Why Prices?

    I'm asking the same question about the Maule. The spec sheet makes it look like the bargain.

    Why Prices?

    Thanks Tom. The Carbon Cub looks awesome. I wonder if I should go with an LSA. I had figured resell would be easier on a certified aircraft but I could be wrong. So I guess you would say the Cessna is more expensive because of the aluminum body, maybe fit and finish on the interior?

    Bullet Hole in 737

    Did they find a bullet?. Not likely but it could be the first meteorite impact on a plane. News are reporting a .40cal hole fired from a rifle into the air. The only thing is .40 cal rifles are not common at all.

    A just wondering Secret Service question

    If he did fly his own plane his call sign would be Airforce One, even if he rented. No mater what aircraft, once the president is onboard it becomes Airforce One. Bush landed on a carrier.

    The Road

    I just finished Cormick McCarthy's The Road. Same guy that wrote No Country for Old Men. It was a good read and I recommend it. I am a huge Larry Niven fan and I recommend The Mote in God's Eye as a first read for Niven. That or Niven's Ringworld.

    Why Prices?

    Hello folks, sorry for what may be a dumb question. I got my private pilots license in a Cessna 152 about 15 years ago and soon there after let it expire for lack of money to fly. Anyway I'm getting back into recreational aviation and am going to buy a plane . I pretty much have my mind set on...
