    NOLA Fires

    Nope -just saw buildings burning out of control and newsguys saying firemen couldn't get to them because of the flooding! Just didn't make sense they weren't using tankers. THe one I remember specifically was the huge warehouse on the waterfront, where they had a single fire boat shooting water...

    NOLA Fires

    I wonder if anyone here thought it strange there was no use of aerial tankers when New Orleans was burning. Did they ever get any in there or even try?

    Any flight schools that pay good?

    No. Even the ones who charge a mint for instruction don't filter much down to the CFIs (I think someone here once posted American Fliers pays about $8.00 per hour, charges like $40). Independents make much more, but try finding students with avgas at $5/gallon. I've heard a really good...

    Insurance Question

    Many questions here; I am an insurance professional, so I'll try and give some guidance; The renters policy is an excellent idea; make certain you purchase the aircraft damage (for the plane you are flying) portion, in AT LEAST an amount equal to the school's deductible. Find out first what...

    Online database of CFI's?

    Also - http://www.nafinet.org/directory/flight_lookup.html - National Association of Flight Instructors. Look for a "master instructor" if there is one in your area. Also - from Gleim (the red books) - http://www.gleim.com/aviation/cfi/search/ Those will give you some names, but do what was...

    PA-28-200R Landing gear

    --as an aside, you should watch (listen) for a pump which does not shut off; usually indicates a leak in the system (and will wear out that expensive pump if not repaired). It will stay on to keep the gear (and pressure) up; the gear may stay all the way up, but the pressure will be too low for...

    "Aim towards the Enemy." - Instruction p

    US Army Not to be outdone... "American parachutists -- devils in baggy pants -- are less than 100 meters from my outpost line. I can't sleep at night; they pop up from nowhere and we never know when or how they will strike next. Seems like the black-hearted devils are everywhere... " (An...

    Ultralights and logging time

    Doc Never mind. Found the question posed by someone else in Doc's FAR forum and he quoted the 8700 posting as well. Can you even register an ultralight?

    Ultralights and logging time

    got me... I also log time spent reading posts on aviation websites.... Thinking about it, the definitions would also match hang gliders and powered parachutes. Where do you find FAA orders? I was relying on what little I found on the subject in my FAR/AIM. Thanks.

    BobbySamd nearing 4000 posts!!!!!

    Bobby I can second that, having benefitted from Bobby's comments on many occasions. I wonder about the sanity of one who must cut and paste from Psychology Today in order to support a dis.... thanks for everything Bobby!

    Ultralights and logging time

    Logging ultralight time I'm not so sure it cannot be; FAR part 1 definitions: Aircraft means a device that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air. Airplane means an engine-driven fixed wing aircraft heavier than air, that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the...

    Flight Instructor Renewal

    renewal Kinda my fault he answered like that. I asked exactly the same question last week... Concensus at the time seemed to favor Gleim and there were a few negatives about the AF, including staying online forever and having outdated and obsolete information in the course.

    Salt Lake City

    slc The restricted area covers the depot itself, but it never covered the storage bunkers(?). The bunkers are North of the restricted area by a few miles. Brighton is OPEN! 24" base at the bottom of the mountain, 48" midmountain. Saw video on the news this am and it looks great!

    Salt Lake City

    SLC Avbug--know what you mean; actually, I was practicing 8s on in that area about 3 years ago without realizing where I was (just pre 9/11). I realized where I was when I saw two HMMWVs show up and the guys got out and looked up at us. No violation at the time, but I generally stay over...

    Salt Lake City

    SLC I didn't know they had female cliff divers at the Mayan--thought they were all male. Its actually billed as a family restaurant and owned by Larry Miller. Located in Sandy, around 9400 South State. Definitely go see the Temple; if you tell anyone you went to SLC, they will ask if you...

    Car accident averts WWIII?

    GSP I see Fly has the REAL transcript of the Patton speach... Also--the movie, which was meant to be anti-war (failing miserably at that), had the men standing passively and listening to him make that speach. The reality was they loved the speach and were laughing most of the way through...

    Car accident averts WWIII?

    Nope No conspiracy there. Patton had already been relieved by Ike and would have been on his way back to the states and probable retirement when he died. Definitive Patton biography-- "patton" by Ladislas Farago. Not that GSP couldn't have driven all the way past Moscow, given half a...

    "Private Jets" special on Travel Channel

    Promo Oh yeah, I think so! Thanks for the heads-up! Beats hell out of watching Katie Couric interview some author on his new memory book (the name of which escapes me....)! Too bad I have a job interview and will probably have to be working in a real office this time of day in a week or two....
