The consensus on Vertical Reference was that the 407 was probably fast, but that neither pilot was paying attention. The opposing view was that the F/W was clearly at fault because R/W drivers are always right :D There are two forms of taxiing: a normal taxi in congested areas which would...

apparently is not the only one that's broken: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=512087&in_page_id=1770 Unbelievable!

Good stuff that "Dead Guy" -- the America Bar and Grill in Lyonville has it on tap.

We were at Iron Hill Brewery gettin' the old growler filled up for the game. Here's the Mardi Gras promo...

Sarcasm on my part, Bob. ;)

Ya can't trust them FO's :hairraise: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,326670,00.html

Good article Dave! We've been toying with maybe replacing the R44 with a 500 series (probably used). Maybe we can find a 500P and sneak up on people :D

True. But the sword cuts both ways -- there could be some pretty ugly sights in addition to the good ones, Adam :D

On frequencies. I prepare a cheat sheet which lists frequencies I'll probably need (trying to fly a helicopter while looking up stuff on a chart is a real pain). As soon as I switch to a new frequency, I immediately put in the next frequency I'm likely to need. If I'm talking to approach...

That's a lot of stuff Marty! Flight service. The more you call them, the more comfortable it will become -- I recommend not using DUAT until you get comfortable. Don't be afraid to ask the briefer to slow down, to explain something, or to ask for information that they didn't provide (for...

Heard on talk radio today: There's a long standing tradition that the gown worn by the first lady at the inaugural ball is given to the Smithsonian for display. The question then is, if Hillary wins, what kind of gown will Bill wear? A Karan? A Dior? And will it be displayed at the...

That, is wild!

Moi? :no: Forwards, backwards, sideways, straight up, straight down. All the same to me, Tony. Although visibility to the rear when going backwards is somewhat limited, and there's no rear view mirror ;)

When I was a fixed-wind student we got a Warrior to go backwards with a 10 kt GS showing on the LORAN. It was kind of eerie to see the ground moving by the wing the wrong way...

The Accuweather pro subscription site has lots of analysis plus Joe Bastardi. It costs, though -- around $150/yr but is well worth it for both short and long range discussions. http://proa.accuweather.com

Here's why: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,325816,00.html Must have been high DA or maybe over gross...

Yeah, it's good stuff. We got hooked up a couple of weeks ago (no TV offered in our township yet - only cable). Phone quality is better and I love the speed. Now I gotta tell everybody else, thanks, for subsidizing my connection! My driveway is 1/2 mile long and it took Verizon about 9...
