After the strike he flew Corporate 727's around the world. It has been almost 4 years since he passed. He also...

I kind of wish I could show a green co-pilot how to shoot an ADF approach. Most of them have never shot one. I did hundreds and was quite good at them. Last one I did in actual conditions was around 2008. Did them in the sim for a few more years. We no longer have an ADF in the Citation. I...

Do they have a backup/emergency pitch trim motor? The planes that I have flown, without manual pitch trim, always had a second motor.

When I was 15 my Dad bought a disassembled C140 about 75 miles away. We hauled it home with just a truck. One trip with the wings and a few parts. Another trip with the bed full of parts and the tailwheel tied down in the back of the truck. Not sure how the police would like that today. I soloed...
