This is an opening for anyone interested in aviation or time building. We do a study on the health of the bay once a week starting in April. The study...
Gary, Great talking with you just now. Below is my contact info. I can send you my resume, I just have to find it. The short summary is I have an MA in...
I wanted to poll the group to see if anyone had any recommendations for handheld transceivers... I recently found out that I have a little one on the way...
If you're looking to save money, I'd look for an older ICOM on E-Bay. I've still got the IC-A22 I bought over 10 years ago - I've replaced the battery pack...
On the flight line at Oshkosh AirVenture where I volunteer, we use Icom A6s and are well pleased with them. You can probably imagine the duty cycle to which...
Todd, I have had a Vertex Standard VXA-700 for three years or so and I love it. Works great, it's compact, and best of all it looks and feels way cool. I guess...
Back when I used to be able to spend lunch hours at Gravely Point watching arrivals at DCA, I watched a United Airbus do that. Twice! He finally landed safely...
... Congratulations on the baby! I have the Sporty's. It's probably the cheapest out there and it has served me fine over the years. But if I had it to do...
My Icom IC-A21 has been superb for all these years. I have used it as a primary NavCom and not had a problem. I know the VOR side isn't that critical anymore,...
If you're wondering what the "commentators" are saying. The expression "Das ging beinahe in die hose" is uniquely German, but it essentially means: "Wow he...
I think that's one of those things that looks good on paper (and I've done it myself) but would sound like hell at the hearing if it didn't work out right. ...
Because the camera wasn't set up on Rwy 33... <g> At 12:05 PM 3/2/2008, Joe Budge flung these words upon me: ... Joseph E. (Jeb) Burnside 1966 C33A N9451S KVNC...
Hi all: I may need a 235/236 CFI for 4-5 hours, if the deal I'm working on goes though. Funny about insurance, I have 600+ hours in PA-28-180, 28R-200 and 100+...

I'll second the VXA-700. It's a nice size, had a LiON battery, and works on 2 meters if your a Ham as well. It gets WX and FM bands too. (I'm not sure of...
Dean, I have a total of 3800 hours 1000 instruction given and about 120 in 235's. If I can help just let me know. I'm in the Frederick area. Gary 301 524 3206 ...
Gary: Thanks for the response. If it works out, I'll be in touch. It is in the southern part of the state. How flexible are you? I need a "flight review" and...
PIty how airline pilots are handicapped by not being allowed to use forward slips. A perfectly good solution thats taken out of the tool kit just because it...
Thanks to Ron Herrold and Randy Horner for coming up with the homeward bound fix for the COATT4 jerk-around. I filed KCRE-GVE-DOCCS-KJYO, got exactly that,...
I would have to disagree with the statement that airline pilots are handicapped by not being allowed to use forward slips. I have slipped transport category ...
No, he means a forward slip. Countering the cross winds with rudder to hold the runway heading then aileron to counter the cross wind. Same cross control...
Approaching in a crab and then removing it with rudder while lowering the upwind landing gear to the runway allows me to handle about twice the component that...
