Interesting story - they were badly prepared and got lucky. Personally, I will never accept to fly over water without wearing the following items: 1. Adequate inflatable floatation device ( for all passengers ) 2. PLB 3. Waterproof emergency strobe with lithium battery 4. Signal mirror...

Thanks :wink2: My wife has decided we all should get a MASSIVE dose of atonement :D We are going to Legoland, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Cirque du Soleil, etc... And the shopping malls are the icing on the cake.... I keep thinking about how much flying I could have done with all that...

The usual greeting for Yom Kippur is "Tsom Kal" ( have an easy fast ). My Yom Kippur was exhausting...I spent the day at Disneyworld with the kids....:D

I just purchased a pair of AV-Sun bifocals and I am extremely happy with them. The quality is absolutely great ! Their lenses are made with a Milspec resin providing excellent optical properties - no distortion and flawless definition. Now I can read checklists, sectionals and instruments...

Thanks for the info. I did a bit of research on the internet before this trip and knew about the T-6 rides... They charge $ 430 for half an hour...that's too expensive for me but I'm sure it must be quite an experience.... We're already spending a small fortune on flights, hotels and...

Hi, I'm in America again - this time with my little tribe... We spent a few days in NYC - took the kids to the American Museum of Natural History and to the Intrepid... Also spent a couple of days in Blue Bell with Adam Zucker. We went flying together yesterday in the Philadelphia...

Thank you for posting this cool link... :) Notice to all POA members: if you travel to Israel, please send me a PM. I'd be happy to take you flying in my area ( weather permitting ). P.S. the best time to visit the country is around April - May ( too hot and too humid during the summer...

You might be right on this....:dunno: I was able to download and study the circuitry diagram for the Lone Star charger - couldn't get that data for the other models I found...

Yeah, I agree...pretty expensive. But if your cheapo charger fries your fancy $800 Ipad, you'll regret not buying a decent charger with good over charging / surge protection... :D

That's the charger I use... http://www.pilotshop.com/lonestar-usb-power-convertor-plug-amps-p-11372.html I think it's FAA approved and comes with a pretty good surge / over-charge protection system... You can download the technical brochure here...

Don't bother watching that pathetic movie....:rolleyes2: A lot of swearing, a lot of shooting...a bit like "Red Tails" - only worse...

From the makers of X-Plane... The VP400 Runway Seeker.... http://www.x-plane.com/x-world/hardware/seeker-avionics/ Pretty impressive....

Unbelievable... His "Bob Hoover routine" was the most amazing thing I saw at Oshkosh...stellar performance by an incredibly gifted pilot. Very sad...

Is he the pilot who performed the amazing Bob Hoover Shrike routine at Oshkosh last July ?

I just found another permanent mount for the GoPro.... http://www.pilotmall.com/product/RAM-Mount-Camera-Strut-Mount-Kit/video-systems Cheap enough, but I prefer the AirVideo design...

No, there's no flash... But unless you're investing in a fancy external flash, built-in flash is mostly useless....

The GoPro2 sensor is 11 MP ( takes pretty nice pictures ). In video mode you can use either HD (720p) or full HD (1080p) reolutions....with stunning results. You can purchase lots of accessories, including the LCD backpack ( a small LCD viewfinder ). I love it.

I agree, but it's generally not a relevant option if you don't own an aircraft...

Well, I have the original GoPro adhesive mounts, I just don't feel comfortable with "stickers" and would rather get a more permanent mount ( with screws ).

Looks great. What materials did you use ? Wood ? I am contemplating the eventual purchase of an Aerovideo mount...it is indeed a pricey gadget... http://www.aerovideo.net/
