Well said, Stratobee. Being somewhat tired of flying OPJ (other people's junk), I've been idly watching the Skymaster market, and it's analogous to the housing market: I'm sorry you bought at a...

None of which explains why the FCC all of a sudden got hot to ban 121.5 ELTs when it will still remain a 'guard' frequency, and the FAA's silence on the issue so far. The 121.5 homing feature in the...

I'll second that. We fly a 336 on our marine survey, occasionally interspersed with a 337. The sight picture difference is striking, especially at the speeds we use on the survey tracks. 100 knots is...

Thanks but, no, 'Chronic' is the family name, anglicized from some now obscure Germanic spelling. Why they picked that version, the family has wondered for years especially those of us who've had to...
