Helen, Cell phones bring one more factor to SAR. There is an aspect to cell phones that will work even in North Dakota far away from any cell tower. I am not...
Essentially my recollection from some discussions as well. The MVA is 2000 feet MSL near JYO. The new 19R runway (opening this month according to the airport...
Dear Pilots - Friend and Leesburg Pilot Ray Comley built a beautiful Lancair 360 and flew it in the local area. You may have seen it at Leesburg (near George...
Helen, That's really neat. I didn't know what a lighted airway looked like on the chart. It's got the light's morse signal too. Until a few years ago there...
That was Green 13 down there near Ocracoke. It was the last colored airway in the United States that I was aware of. I am entertained to hear Helen talk about...
Sure wish I had kept all my aeronautical charts from the early 1970s for a comparison against today's charts... The changes would probably surprise me.. ... ...
The colored airways were denoted brown, and had designations as to color: green, red, amber, etc. These originally started as beacon colors on lighted...
Bill, Do you know what Victor airway Green 3 became? I've noticed there are some really low-number V airways that seem to follow old airline routes. -m ... ...
Victor 6 is what replaced green 3, but it didn't stay Victor 6 all the way to San Francisco. I don't remember the other Victor airway number that was used the...
So here is a question when looking at the Coppertown (CPN) vor on the Great Falls Montana sectional what is the letter "A" west of the town of Anaconda or the...
... Schools out West like to put letters on hillsides. You'll notice a dot near each notation showing the location of the large hillside letter. The A is for...

Doug, Thank you so much for this report. I'd been meaning to go to KHSP but had forgotten. This reminded me and gave me the impetus, and went yesterday. It...
Not in Idaho, but in western Montana. They are not operated by the FAA, but rather by the State Of Montana. See http://www.mdt.mt.gov/aviation/beacons.shtml...
Oh good grief. Who the hell are you Steve, the self appointed list police? Listen, the woman posted an incorrect, baseless assertion that could harm a pilot's...
No, but I also don't make insulting posts in public. I think it was interesting that you sent this post to me and then cross posted it to the list. I thought...
Hello, I very much agree. I'm over the western mountains and deserts quite a bit in my airplane. Most of this country is a substantial amount of nothing....
Gentlemen, you really don't need to fight over me. Not that I don't appreciate your concern. I do. I probably did have the exact state of the beacons...
... All, Arguing about this seems rather strange to me, given that the questions are objectively answerable with just a few clicks. Pick your provider and...
FWIW, I AM the list police. I have gotten four complaints about this exchange, and have to agree that it's gotten a little out of hand all the way around....
Was returning to JYO this morning at around 3am, and Potomac tracon was so quiet that they gave me the VOR-A approach into JYO.? Even did the procedure turn at...

Wow, that is cool. I recall coming back to GAI a few years back and getting a routing over BWI at about 11 PM. Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. Steven Nichols...
