    8 seats for 1.3M?

    My boss has decided that he'd like to have a little more room than what our current little Cheyenne II can give him. He's telling me that he'd like to seat 6 people in the back comfortably. I can understand why - many trips I fly involve taking 6, and in the Cheyenne that means one is sitting on...

    Question for an America West pilot...

    Can any America West pilots please send me a PM or e-mail me? I'm trying to get in touch with one, and figured this board would be a good way to do so. Thanks! :D

    Good news for Falcon Capt!

    LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Married life is over for "Full House" actor John Stamos and "X-Men" actress Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, the former Victoria's Secret model. They have separated after five years of marriage, publicist Lewis Kay said Monday. "The split is amicable and they have asked...

    Riding through the Chernobyl "dead zone"

    Sorry for the non-aviation topic, but this web site was really interesting to me, and I thought perhaps some of you would feel the same way. Motorcycle Riding through the Chernobyl Dead Zone

    Frasca FTD

    61.57 says: (c) Instrument experience. Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, no person may act as pilot in command under IFR or in weather conditions less than the minimums prescribed for VFR, unless within the preceding 6 calendar months, that person has: (1) For the purpose of...

    Admin Question...

    After seeing the "You guys are jerks" thread pop up in error, and remembering all the times I've seen threads created when the user meant to just post a reply to an existing thread - I began to wonder if it's not possible with the message board software to simply remove the "Post New Thread"...

    F-18 Question...

    I was watching some TV show about the Blue Angels, and began thinking that I've never really seen or heard anything about the F-18 other than in air shows. So pardon the dumb civilian question, but what military role does the F-18 serve? It seems like I always hear about the other fighters...

    Disregarding the FARs?

    I was talking to a CFI a couple of days ago, and we had a discussion about IFR currency. He basically said that he doesn't really worry about being a few months out of currency if he's just filing IFR to climb through a high, thin, overcast layer. He mentioned that if he planned on doing any...

    Avweb sued?

    I heard from a CFI buddy today that the infamous Mr. Wolk is suing (or sued?) Avweb at the tune of $100K because some columnists called him an ambulance chaser and some other not so nice things. What's the story on this, or is everyone keeping their mouths shut in fear that Wolk's 747 sized...

    Ever stop to think how lucky we are?

    A little bit ago, I took advantage of some long overdue VFR weather and headed out to the airport to bore holes in the sky. After tooling around in the Duchess for awhile, I set her down at a small airport nearby and shut down on the grass. I spent about two hours sitting on the wing root...

    Getting checked out in the Baron?/Airnet

    I guess I'll break in the new Training Forum with a question: I've discovered an A55 available for rent that doesn't require insane insurance minimums. I need 10 hours of dual, but I meet the other requirements (350TT, IR, 50+ multi). I've checked out the plane and it looks pretty nice. It'd be...

    B1 kept buzzing my pool party!

    Today, I was at a pool party in west Austin, and witnessed a B1 fly rather slowly directly overhead on several occasions. I'd guess at about 1000' AGL - it was loud enough to drown out our converstations and music at the party. VERY cool! I love that plane. Wonder what it was doing, though - I...

    Admins - is this site backed up?

    I'm sorry if the answer is, "Of course it is, you knucklehead!", but last week at another message board I'm a part of, the server crashed and nothing was backed up, so we had to start anew. :( I'm a frequent lurker at the various RJ/Scope threads, and very much appreciate the efforts of the...

    Stupid question time....

    Okay, I'm gonna ask a dumb question, so bear with me here! =) What the heck does "Tango Uniform" stand for? I know what it means in context, but have no clue what T.U. is an abbreviation for. I hear it all the time, but never bothered to ask.
