    Behind The Power Curve

    Ahh I remember my first instructor talking about the power curve several times during my training. It was something I really didnt "GET" until later on in my flying endeavors. Like so many other things, LOL.. day late, dollar short :yes:

    Erasable highlighters?

    I have one, but with mine I noticed when I erase, it also erases part of the sectional leaving a sort of light haze along the course line that once was.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator X

    I don't think its far fetched to believe it will look just like the screenshots. I usually upgrade my PC right around the time MS releases a new version of flight simulator every few years. I'll do the same some time in the last quarter of '06 to coincide with the new FS10. But I always...

    Fatal twin crash at Palwaukee

    That is not really exciting news. We know they love to report aircraft accidents in the media and then butcher the facts. Ofcourse I'm sure all those car crashes do not result in fatalities. Well sad news none the less... :(

    Microsoft Flight Simulator X

    Not sure if anyone saw this yet but I just ran across it. For those of you (like me) that also dabble with Microsoft's Flight Simulator I just found this released information today. Looks like some serious eye candy, and a 2006 holiday release. Check out these first release screenshots...

    Separate politics forum?

    Would have voted No myself. Seen many a good person go awry when it comes to politics. KEEP US ALL AVIATION ALL THE TIME!

    Accidents

    Sort of reminds me of a line in some movie about getting a race car driver to go to a funeral. I guess some pilots don't like to read about aviation accidents. I myself always gravitate to the particular thread to see what happened and if it was aircraft or pilot related. Then either learn...

    Old School E6B OR Get with the Times; How should a Student Learn?

    I have both. When I was in training for my PP I started with the wizzer and moved on to sporty's e6b device afterward. I found it somewhat interesting to get the calculations I was looking for out of this funky looking contraption and they were always close enough to right to keep me interested...

    Oh No, My Baby!!!!!!!!!! Crash at PTK.

    Re: Crash at PTK Couple times a year? Cap'n what are you involved in that you deal with this grief so often? Sorry to hear about the accident. This spooks us all from time to time.

    Hope they can "see and avoid" by remote control

    I hear they are doing their work around the mexican border issues lately as well. We might be seeing more and more of these things in our airspace.

    Thank G-d Bryon is OK!

    Thank GOD all are well, and for good training. Its weird, Yesterday I just thought about how much POA has grown and if at some time we might have the unfortunate news of one of the community having an incident or worse reported here. I pray these are far and few between. The comment section...

    Flying kids...

    Thanks Brian, that alone may be enough to put this future flyer in the back seat. I want to make sure he can look outside and not be stuck looking at the smoking prohibited placard. Although that's not a bad thing to instill to the young one. I'll be sure to let him sit up front before/after...

    Flying kids...

    I'm taking my first kid up this weekend. A 4 year old that according to his parents eats, sleeps, and is always talking airplanes. Wants to wear his air force t-shirt when we fly this weekend. LOL... I am looking forward to it. I am meeting his father and the boy at the airfield while his wife...

    Night Flying Limitation

    Hmmmmmmmmmmm, that has caught my interest, never hard details of such a thing, maybe I... no, never mind, I won't cheat. Maybe I will, no.. well, maybe... ahh no... LOL... "Search your feelings, Father, you can't do this. I feel the conflict within you. Let go of your hate." :redface...
