What a great video! Thanks for sharing. I love it when people share their GA video footage!

One thing to keep in mind. The bad guys will target whatever has the biggest market share. Why bother attacking something that will only affect 5000 people when you can devise something that will attack 10,000,000 people? I use firefox and IE. I also have versions of Opera and Netscape to test...

That video got me FIRED UP! Thanks for sharing. I love it when folks submit video oftheir GA flights.

I have a real life WOOKIE. Moments after this picture my big furry friend helped me adjust my glasses! Aircraft is in a constant bank to the right when I fly with him. ;)

I believe there was a typo, the actual URL for CFO is http://www.cardinalflyers.com :cheerio:

Throw on a STOLS Kit - that might help!

Ghery, I think that is pretty accurate no matter where you heard it from. I have memories of some weird looking aircraft that were British, and I definitely have seen my share of bizarre looking Russian aircraft too.

Several of the instructors I have had taught me to lean on the ground. I actually had a hard time knowing how much to lean when inflight. I think I have gotten a better feel for leaning the mixture now. I had to become more aware of the leaning mixture process because I thought it was important...

I can see how the administrator giving the test might think it best to call out the colors rather than write them down. You could always wait to see the second light to see if the white/green were what you thought you just saw. Then write it down. Perhaps they were made to write down their...

I hear about the angel flight actions pretty often from my wife who is an RN at Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta. She tries to talk aviation with me when she can handle it, whenever she can. I would do it in a heartbeat if I had the opportunity. :target:

I have to add this Armstrong Whitworth Argosy airplane to my all-ugly list of aircraft.

If you are in an airplane that has no GPS, those NDBs might be worth more to you at that moment. I have never been a huge fan of NDBs. I always thought it was cool to triangulate your position with VORs. But from time to time when flying the GPSless planes I did tune in the NDBs along my route...

Hey! I'm working towards getting out of "rookie" and obtaining "Ready to Solo" status too!

Frank, thanks for sharing. That was an interesting read.

ROFLMFAO... You hit the nail on the head.

WOW... That thing looks kind of small. How would a 6-2 200 pound person like myself fit in that? Or worse, if I got into it, and couldnt get out!?

Brian, you are correct. I fly better than I type stories :)

Nothing fancy for me, early 80s P model Skyhawk.

Well, the only close call I may have experienced that turned out to be a great lesson learned for me, and it may not even have been a real close call but at the moment it gave an anxious feeling, was on my first real go-around. Few weeks before my checkride I was working around the pattern...

I believe you are correct. Click on the route path and hold down the mouse button to drag the path to different locations on the map. I have done this when trying to alter a route to fly over airports (just in case) along my route. Try dragging it, see how it works for you. It should also put...
