    How the hell does this happen?

    This maybe old news, but this morning on the CBS Morning News, they interviewed a couple who are part of a group trying to get some "passenger bill of rights" passed in Congress after flying on AA and being held on the tarmac in Austin TX (after being diverted for Wx) for 9 hours, supposedly...

    Adam A500....why?

    Just for shyts and giggles... I just finished reading an article in Twin & Turbine magazine on the new A500 and wondered what the reasoning would be to spend $1M for a new concept airplane that doesn't do anything better than my C340 (w/Ram VI's) does at 1/3 the cost. Avidyne flat panels and...

    Intermittent alternator light warnings

    During my last 2 flights in my 340, both of my alternator lights and low voltage light came on, but the guage was showing that they were each putting out full power. The prop synch light and the gear lights (red) came on at the same time too. The first incident was not a "problem", we were in...

    Hoods for Bose headsets

    The thread on Bose headsets jogged my memory..... Anyone know where to get (if available) the practice hoods that attach to Bose headsets. I have to use my old David Clarks everytime I want to go practice approaches. Sporty's doesn't have them and I've done an internet search, but no luck so far.

    Where's the free market re: insurance

    I'm re-doing the insurance on my 340 and asked my agent who writes my house, cars, boat if her company (Farm Bureau) can obtain aircraft insurance also. So...she emails her head office to ask the question and gets this back from them: _________________________________ "....There are about 9...

    Delta pilots just rattling sabres?

    So....is Delta's Pilot Union serious about a strike, or is this just sabre rattling for negotiations? We leave for a much needed vacation in the Dominican Republic the 31st of March and my wife is getting concerned about booking alternative flights. If they go, when is the plan, and how long...

    Trading "down" from a C340 to a Malibu

    Due to various reasons ($4/gal gas being one), I'm contemplating trading my C-340 down to a Piper Malibu, or B36TC. Things have changed in my business and the C340 is now more airplane than I need and want to pay for, since I'm not traveling the distances I have been, or the wx in the...

    Spin-off from forced landings...closest calls.

    What's been your "closest call"? I've had two. Several years ago, I got CO poisoning over "nowhere" Nevada. The nearest AP was Susanville, CA, but by the time I got there (20+ min), dumb thinking made me press on to Chester, CA 30 miles up the road where I had an employee living at the time...

    Pilatus PC12 vs. King Air200

    As I was pulling into the airport today, I ran into a guy who was leaving, that had a very nice 10 y/o King Air that he'd just traded in (sold) to buy a 3 y/o PC12. I didn't get the details from him, but the line guys told me he's a fairly low time pilot (500-1000 hours) and had trouble getting...
