I'm looking at getting back into aviation after a 6+ year hiatus. My dream has always been to fly, but that hit the wall since I got my ratings in 2002 and started a family. Now that I'm more settled, I'm looking to get back into it. I currently have about 270 total time (all 6+ years ago)...

I was up in Oshkosh this weekend and stopped in at the EAA museam and Pioneer Airport. I actually forked over the money and took a flight in their 1929 Travel-Air open-cockpit biplane. In my whopping 250 hours of flying, I've never been in an airplane more exhilirating and more fun than this...

Okay, I've been considering ATC. I've been really impressed on previous tours of towers and would love to do this as well. (actually, I'd love a center position) My first love is flying, but I can definitely live with flying for fun rather than a career. Heck, communicating to me during flight...

Happened last night, still no sign of the pilot. Survived the water landing, but sounds like the cold waters of the lake claimed him.

Also, once the financial...

I was just arguing with two business men on the train to my finance job about the airlines. We started on the fact that United Exec's got millions in bonuses. I stayed out until one of them started saying how pilots are overpaid glorified bus-drivers. I couldn't believe how long it took me to...
My friend was leaving work a few minutes ago and called me when he saw a Piper curled up in a bunch of trees at the exit of his parking lot. The police were just starting to secure the scene and he says that they didn't appear to be trying to help anyone in the plane which most likely means it's...
