    How To Obtain a NTSB Accident Report

    I lost a family member in a plane crash in 1981 (boyfriend pilot flew into a thunderstorm) and I was wondering if there was anyway I could obtain a full accident report from the NTSB. I pulled up the accident report through the NTSB database, but it was back when they gave very vague...

    Piper Comanche - Good Buy?

    I've currently got my eyes on a 1959 Piper Comanche 250, and I was wondering what everyone's opinion is on it.

    Thoughts On the CL-600

    Our flight department is in the final stages of adding a Challenger 600 to our fleet. We also have a Challenger 604 in the fleet, and those pilots don't ever seem to have much good to say about the 600. Common comments evolve around it being a pig, poor performance, etc. I've been tapped to...
