I came across this site today and thought I'd pass it along. It uses ADS-B data to display a map of GPS interference around the world. From the FAQ, it sounds like they update it every 24 hours: https://gpsjam.org

Are there any sectors that you don't enjoy being transferred to because the controllers are unpleasant to deal with? I flew with someone a while back who did not get flight following after we departed because he didn't want to deal with some particular controllers. Any sectors near you with a...

This one happened in my neck of the woods. "The student pilot departed for a local, personal flight with one passenger onboard...." Aircraft: Titan TITAN TORNADO Aircraft Damage: Substantial Defining Event: Fuel exhaustion Injuries: 2 Serious...

I'm attempting to take the Bonanza to Texas either tomorrow or Sunday and then return on Wednesday; this is for a vacation with my family. If anyone is bored and wants to give me an opinion on how do-able you think that trip is (KBTR-KCPT) with the weather forecast, I'd be appreciative for an...

In 1968, the US Army published a specification for an observation aircraft that could not be heard from the ground when at a minimum altitude of 1,200ft. Lockheed received a contract for two prototypes and in 1966, built two QT-2 Quiet Thruster aircraft. These were modified Schweizer SGS 2-32...

There are some interesting items up for auction here, including a ride in a P-51.

From what I gather the current pilot job market is a bit thin, so I thought I would post these two positions for the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry that I came across: "Candidates should be current in single engine land airplanes at the time of application. The candidate will...

I noticed when I was flying to get an oil change that my IFD didn't show an airport on the screen that both my Dynon and iFly did. It wasn't a display issue because the IFD wouldn't allow me to fly to the missing identifier. All three devices have the most current data. The ID is MS57, which is...

I like to set my destination airport on the ground, then when I'm in the air and on on my way, I'll use direct-enter-enter instead of intercepting the original course. Are there pilots who intercept instead? I use this technique pretty often, even outside of the above example, where I might get...

I've owned three airplanes so far, a 152, a Beech Sierra and now a Bonanza. I didn't fly any of them prior to purchase, and the only plane I saw in person prior to purchase was the Sierra. I'm wondering how typical this is among owners.

Well, which will it be?

Noticed these on ADS-B Exchange tonight. Loon Balloons?

Saw this on another forum and had to share. Pilot says he and his wife returned to his plane to head home and found an envelope with cash and a note on the glare shield. Apparently another pilot took 10 gallons of fuel from his plane and left double what that would cost. I guess because fuel...

I just hit 500 PIC hours and to make it sweeter, it was on a vacation flight with my family, which is one of my most enjoyable reasons to fly. Do you get any insurance breaks for milestone hours like 500 or 1000?

There's the Ford Tri-Motor, there's the Falcon 7x. Are there are a bunch of other three-engine airplane options? *Edit* Yes there are, but not sure if any are reasonable for someone of normal airplane ownership means. Some sort of tri-motor cri-cri?

We used Aeroshell 100 for my last oil change, can I utilize Aeroshell 100 Plus without issue if I need to top it off? What about more extreme mixing of oils like brands or weights?

Not sure if this one has been posted yet; he's real lucky he got it down before the wires. Video in here: https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/local/lafourche-terrebonne/small-plane-makes-landing-on-highway-in-lafourche-thursday-morning/289-2d45eedf-1744-4f6d-8e88-4849b7931894

My family has a trip planned to New Braunfels in a couple of weeks. I'm planning on stopping in Conroe (KCXO) and eating at the restaurant on the field and then continuing on to New Braunfels (KBAZ). This would make it two one-hour flights, so it should be an easy trip if the weather cooperates...
