It covers the Pro & Cons, and debunks some rather old wifes tales. I highly suggest that people on both sides of the issue read the article. BTW...

    FAR 61.3(a)(l)

    Having a pilot certificate with your photo on it is great and all, but that would mean that you would have to get a new one every few years. Personally I like the idea of 61.3, but I don't like the fact that they skipped the normal comment period, I think that it would have been better if we...

    Pictures

    I recently went flying and for the first time I remember to bring my camera. The pictures weren't too great but I thought that it was pretty cool to finally have pictures from while I was flying. So I am wondering does anyone else take a camera up with them? No matter how big or small the...

I checked FAR 71, 91, I also looked in the AIM and found nothing. Personally I have yet to fly above...
