    New Pilots and Airsickness

    TonyC, that sounds hidious! I want to puke just thinking about it. To the origonal poster, Go to your local marine supply store and get "Sea Band" They are an accupressure device you wear on your wrists. Work wonders I've had passengers use them with great results. Also, my father used them to...

    flightarchive.com is open

    It seems to only show flights filed with a flight number. Even the 135 guys who file with a tail number don't show.

    Thrust reverser in the flair?

    My current job operates a Lear 31a on gravel strips between 3500' and 4800' long. We require the use of thrust reversers with the nose still in the air. There are two primary reasons for this. The Gravel Gaurd on the nose wheel is not adaquite to minimize the FOD damage to the leading edge of...

    Good Morning Fairbanks!

    Pilot124, In ANC and FAI there is a pretty good selection of women. Both towns have colleges. In the villages you never lose your girlfriend, you just lose your turn.......

    SkyWest acquisition

    ILS, You neglected to mention the other half of ERA. There are three large rotor bases operating everything from B-206B's to B-214ST's. SkyWest is pretty conseritive with their business. The rotor world is far different from fixed wing scheduled 121.

    Just say NO to scud running!

    Asquared, Thats because your POI doesn't comprehend your company's FOM :D (no small advantage when dealing with him). Has anyone bumped him in a village to do a three engine ferry lately?

    Fireworks

    A couple of years ago under part 135, and perfectly legal, I hauled a drum of Jet B, 300# of dynamite and a box of blasting caps in a Cessna 207. There is a clause in the hazMat regs allowing normally prohibited items to be carried in an aircraft in remote enviroments. There are some specific...

    Qantas in ANC - any idea why?

    Last summer there was a blurb on the local tv news about Quantas starting summer service to ANC. I don't remember the details, but it had something to do with a tourism councel.

    PA-18 & rust

    I better clarify this. The company operating the aircraft in the accident I linked had fantastic MX. I never had a problem getting something fixed on an airplane. When I was there they were operating 14 cubs and 1 pawnee. This accident brought to light a previously unknown area of corrosion...

    PA-18 & rust

    As wrigley says your concerns are valid. I flew the airplane in this link the previous season Banner crash Some things to consider are how many aircraft this operator operates, how long have they been in business. Do they keep a stock of parts on hand? What kind of safety record do they...

    Where's Mar?

    Singlecoil Some of us are still waiting for summer to start in our part of AK. Was in FAI for a couple of hours last week and was amazed to see green stuff growing out of the ground. As for MAR, haven't heard him on the radio in a while, hopefully he's sitting reserve with a fly rod in hand.

    Scenic & Air Vegas Hiring Foreign Pilots

    Nice flame rizzo, Scenic is owned by a Japanese citizen. Rumor has it his son expressed an interest in flying so he bought an airline.

    Making Time Fly in Flight

    I usually set the proximity alarm on the GPS and couple the auto-pilot. Then, rack out until it wakes me up. Which is the reason I'm such a lousy C-207 driver.

    Aluminum Overcast bellied in at Van Nuys

    The EAA does have the resources to rebuild the -17, Also the aircraft is insured. I dont know if they will be able to insure it after the rebuild though. To answer the earlier question about the superchargers. As far as I know they are installed, but disabled.
