    I spent a year researching distance learning colleges. if you've got a bunch of credits from different sources, and no degree, this is the best place. it's in Connecticut

    bizarre Soviet A310 crash, 10 years ago

    the post on the caravan crash in florida reminded me of a AEROFLOT A310 crash about 10 ago. The CApt was letting his 13 year old son sit in the left seat in cruise. The autopilot got knocked off and they did a split S. The SIC almost recovered the plane, but not quite.

    747 fire bomber

    evergreen aviation is converting a 747 for firebombing. the idea is that one of these will be equal to about 10 c-130's. The plane's supposed to cover a huge region, like the western US, and fly around and kick a_s on fires. It's supposed to make the drops with gear and flaps down.

    motorcycle cc question

    I've got a 1979 Suzuki GS1000 GT (L). It seems to me a 500 cc bike would be better on gas mileage, etc. What's the advantage of all that extra power ? does it help on long trips ? with two people ? going up hills ? It seems like I just use a fraction of the available power on a regular...

    my opinion of job scene

    I've decided that aviating is in the same leaque as people who participate in polo tournaments (with horses), etc, etc, etc - ie. the really well off. I'm completely burnt out on sending out resumes. It's like candidate John Edwards said a few nights ago; "there's two America's; one's...

    first aid review/quiz

    OK; i heard that a lady passed away while watching Passion of the Christ, in Wichita KS. Apparently a nurse in the theater tried to revive her. That got me wondering if I'd remember what to do in a similar sitauation, based a 25 year old CPR course. Basically, you pump on the person's chest...

    motorcycle maintenance question

    what's the maintenance routine on a motorcycle ? (besides checking the oil, tire press., etc) I've got a 1979 Suzuki. I saw 'fork oil' in a 'cycle store. I guess you should check transmission and brake fluid. thanks

    V-Nam era/area C-118 ditching question

    OK A big, 300 pound plus, sixty year old Puerto Rican guy was loading my piston cargo plane in San Juan for six months. One morning at 5 AM he tells me that he once ditched an AF DC-7 (C-118 ?) off of Viet nam, presumably during the war. He's not my idea of the pilot image, but I believe...

    non aviation email ?

    I just saw a story about a guy who was searching on the internet for an uncle's email address - and he wound finding his uncle's WW II mess kit being offered for sale. (Apparently this kit had been found in Belgium where the Uncle abandoned it in the 1940's. it still had his social security...
