Actually all of Arizona participates I think. The Navajo reservation doesn't. Personally I loved Dayligh Saving from a work perspective when I was on graves. It was an extra hour of OT at work once a year. Then, when you spring forward and work an hour less, you keep your mouth shut and get a free h...

Bah, now THIS is a sexy plane! She's my age too, but looks a hell of a lot better. The curves and speed of a 22 year old. Wonder if she's single...

I like the first one. High visibility if it crashes, so it make my job as a CAP member easier!

But I've always hated this paint job:

The NTSB disagrees: The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows. The pilots' inadequate planning, judgment, and airmanship in the performance of a 180 turn maneuver inside of a limited turning space. http://ntsb.gov/ntsb/GenPDF.asp?id=DCA07MA...

Avation Nation '08

Just a friendly reminder. Aviation Nation, one of the largest airshows in the country, is November 8th and 9th at Nellis Air Force Base. I know I haven't been around on here much at all lately, but I just gotta plug it. I'll be (hopefully) at the CAP aircraft, which should be right in front of the T...

Well, maybe they're not FARs exactly. They are rules and laws developed by the Federal Government that airport and airline operators are required to follow.

I saw the lightboard once too and have no idea why it was there. The B gates are almost done. My office is by B19 so I get regular views. Once this last bit is done I'm going to guss that the C gates will be next. They DESPERATLY need the ramp rehab. Also, they should be breaking bround on the new c...

Texting can serve several purposes. All the ones mentioned before are good ones, but some were left out. In an area you can't hear and/or talk, like on the ramp at an airport or in class. Leave a message when you know someone can't talk, like if they'r ein a meeting. Have something to say, like an a...

Nope, he didn't. Expect more calls to close VGT because it's "unsafe".

This story smells worse then a lav truck that hasn't been emptied for a month. Two years from now (if B6 still exists) there will be a small blurb saying this lawsuit was dropped buried on page 19 of some newspaper. A flight attendant is NOT going to give up his or her seat for the jumpseat and then...

F9 isn't going anywhere NOW. They've got like a 6 million cushion between red and black. That goes quick, especially with fuel prices going out of sight. I'm expecting to see F9, B6, and FL all go away. Mesa Air Group (not the employees, but the company) deserves every bad thing coming to them. And ...

My instructor told me he's fine with me crashing... As long as I didn't run out of fuel! Dunno what to make of that.
