I've noticed older students tend to overthink the tasks in the airplane. Look at it as driving a tractor, not a sports car. Pick a spot on the cowl and hold that line to stay straight on the taxiway. Works in the air, too.

I have only the highest respect the Tuskegee Airmen and have met several of them over the years in their bright red sport coats. It is undeniable that challenges they faced in and out of uniform would have defeated weaker men. But, they were not infallible, either...

personal preference more than anything I'm a track up, but know several pilots that swear by N up. It was explained to me that that is how they hold their sectionals or enroutes. (I do the rotation mentally to correspond the chart to the moving map). My daughter, when first seeing the 430w...

The gates open same time each day so I would suspect the airshow iself would follow suit. http://www.cosportaviation.org/spectator.html Check the BJC NOTAMs as the date gets closer. There should be one stating when the waivered airspace for the airshow is in effect.

I got my ride via a drawing from Aspen Avionics a couple of years ago. I rode with Steve Gustafson, which kinda neat since he lives not to far from the airport I get the "heavy" maintenance done on my plane. I often see the team practicing in the winter and early spring over his property just...

I've done it a couple times with the local science teachers. Some in the class will be fascinated, others will take a nap. Here's some info that might be useful in preparing a presentation http://www.teachervision.fen.com/transportation-history/resource/63895.html Your local EAA chapter...
