Hi guys,
What do you recommend for follow-up training after ASEL? Not ready to start on my instrument rating just yet, but I want to challenge myself and keep learning so I stay sharp. I fly 172s/152s about twice a week. Thanks.
Hi guys,
Got a '66 182J at school with extended range tanks (39 gal). They're of the [pain in the butt] bladder type. The right-hand cell has a laceration in the integral nipple where it passes through what looks like the wing butt rib and joins the aluminum fuel line in the fuselage. Wow...
Question for the fighter/attack guys: How do y'all initially acquire targets on the ground? I'm asking in light of the recent Zarqawi sting. Is it a GPS fix or what? It seems like a technological nightmare to be zipping around at 300 knots in the dark trying to put a GBU-12 on a house...
Starting my A&P in late August..... where did you guys accumulate most of your tools? I've got some already, but I'll need quite a few more, and I don't really want to buy them new if I don't have to. Any ideas? Yardsales? Shops that are upgrading to newer stuff?
Heard Captain Haynes tell his story tonight in Manassas, VA. Very positive guy and sharp as a tack, try to catch his speech sometime if you can. While I was waiting in line for his autograph, the guy in front of me asked how long it took him to get back to work....
"About three months...
Anbody happen to catch the pair of vipers over Montgomery County, MD tonight around 1930? Looked like they were circling GAI at one point. I'm assuming they were FS 121 out of Andrews but I didn't get a great look.
They sounded sweeeeeeeeeet.........
My dad was on USAir 142 earlier today (passenger) out of Anchorage when his 319 apparently hit a goose at FL350 (!!!!)..... anybody have more info? Captain's glass was screwed up, but not as badly as you'd think. The only photograph he got was from the flight deck-- no exterior views. I...

VENTURA, California (AP) -- A teacher who kept a 40 mm shell on his desk as a paperweight blew off part of his hand when he apparently used the object to try to squash a bug, authorities say.
The 5-inch-long shell exploded Monday while Robert Colla was teaching 20 to 25...
I've been sifting through the '06 FARs and the FAA website but I can't find the answer to this question..... I lost my [current & otherwise valid] student pilot certificate/class III medical-- can I fly with a CFI until I get a replacement from the FAA or do I need to have it in my physical...
Where'd the forum go, do we still have it?
I like this 27 year-old girl. I'm 22. Feedback from people has been mixed. Some say it's fine, others say I should yank the yellow handle. Wow now this thread is aviation related.....
Any males have positive experiences dating older women...
Assuming these are Pratts but I could be wrong.... regardless, how do the TRs work on engines w/ hush kits?

Ok, so anybody who's been around aviation for any length of time or who has gleaned anything from the discussions in these forums knows that it's easy to make a small fortune in aviation.... you simply start out with a larg-- yeah yeah ha ha ha.
So what's the best way to supplement your...
Registering a truck boys and girls, need a dorky pilot license plate idea. I think I have one but I wanna see what y'all can come up with. $10 money order mailed to the winner if I use yours-- and if it's not illegal to execute such a transaction on this website (mods?? Trying to shoot...

Hi guys,
Been doing some research on ETOPS quals, but I'd like to hear it from y'all as well. What's involved in the certification process? I assume it's an individual thing, i.e. an ETOPS cert is good for a specific airframe and not the whole type. Is that correct? Is "ETOPS" always...
