    They didn't blame the pilot this time!

    ATC didn't listen to the readback: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,318935,00.html

    Baltimore Inner Harbor

    Here's my preference Gary, but it's not going to help you, my friend! Fun place to fly into, though, and you get a great view of Ft. McHenry! It's about a ten minute drive in their courtesy car... http://www.baltimoremarinecenter.com/heliport.cfm

    more "Don't mess with old folks"

    Isn't there a saying that sorta goes "age, experience, and deception trump youthful exuberance every time"?

    Cool T&G's

    I got stuck in traffic northbound on Rt 611 right by the Willow Grove Naval Air Station. The good news is that I got to watch a couple of A-10's do T&G's. They looked like they were doing 60+ degree bank turns in the pattern as well -- they were flying tighter patterns than many a student...

    Zero Gs. Does this hurt the plane?

    No biggie in an airplane. But you'll likely kill yourself in any helicopter with a semi-rigid rotor system :hairraise:

    Which Aircraft

    After 15 years, I doubt it makes any difference. Low-wing doesn't fly a whole lot different than high-wing except maybe that low-wings have more of a tendency to float if you come in too hot. Of course, this is all real easy to say for a guy who hasn't flown anything but rotorcraft in the...

    Chopper 101 web page - info for fixed-wingers

    All Robinsons come with them because there's no requirement to have any gyro instruments. In the case of our R44, we have an AI with a tube and ball (no TC) so I generally glance at it to make sure I'm not flying sideways :D

    Chopper 101 web page - info for fixed-wingers

    Dunno. Never tried it :dunno: Probably not since I'd be missing some of the visual cues I'm used to.

    The happiest day(s) in the life of a pilot!

    They say that the two happiest days in a pilot's life are the day he buys an aircraft and then the day he sells it. I got to spread it out over three days for my PA28-181. The day I bought it a few months after getting my PP-ASEL, the day a few years back that I sold 2/3 of it because I was...
