I know they chose long flights for the large amounts of fuel...but they never said anything about them purchasing their tickets last minute... i thought about this from the day it happened....i was surprised that for this long this thought hadnt crossed people's minds... just seems a little...

I dont rememeber them saying that they bought their plane tickets the day before...i assumed they had them reserved already.... The whole week was beutiful weather..they just got lucky IMO.. I think that it could have possibly been alot worse then it was if the weather wasnt clear.. They...

What would have happened on 9/11 if the weather was OVC at 100 and 1/2 mile vis.?? always wanted to ask..never wanted to bring it up..

i flew down to eagles nest airport in south jersey just to meet with someone...and to check out all the R/C flying that goes on there...this airport MAYBE gets 10 planes a month landing there.. and while i was on the ground a white SUV with the FAA logo on the side pulls up to the airport and...

Thanks guys ..keep it coming...I am already getting excited about this Henning thats how i see it...I will most likely find myself somewhere that i never knew existed ok so lets hear some stories, the routes that you took, or weather you encountered ect ect.. I wanna get the full idea of...

just wondering if anyone has ever done a long VFR flight 800-1000nm in an aircraft like a Piper Warrior or something close (C-172 C-182 arrow ect ect.) Reason i ask is becasue a freind and I have our own Warrior..I am just a Private pilot not IR and he is student pilot and since we have the...

i just would never cancel IFR in NY airspace..even on a perfect weather day .its just too busy, and too much going on..just do what your told and there will be no problems...thats my philosophy around there...your not gonna help anything by changing to VFR 5 miles from the airport..they still...

im wondering why so cheap myself...but im not one to judge the prices planes should be...i have no clue...but seems like alot of airplane for such a little cost... and a hangar queen is like a garage queen for cars...meaning, they never leave the hangar and they just sit in there all clean and...

i gotta try pledge on my windshield... hey does anyone know if pledge is good for making windshields clearer or is it just for getting the hard dirt off?? The windshield on my warrior is starting to look old...Its starting to look foggy..especially at night ..can i just use a plastic polish on...

Yeah the outide temp was pretty cold.maybe 30-35 degrees...the plane is kept in a hangar but we didnt plug in the block heater..but i would say the ambient temps in the hangar when we got to the airport was about 45 degrees..so its not like it was frigid temps or anything well below freezing or...

hello, Some of you may have read my other thread on here about new engine break in....we are still doing this as per what the mechanics told us and it pretty much goes along with what everyone says on here...sometimes it hard to follow exactly becasue of weather or traffic ect ect while...
