The Red Bull Air Races were at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway this past weekend (October 11 &12) and they are as close to being an aviation event as NASCAR is to an automobile race. Red Bull Air Races are all about Red Bull promoting Red Bull and producing a TV show for the sports channels. Now do not get me wrong—the pilots are some of the…

So, as I write this, I am sitting at a campground in south central Kansas under a beautiful blue sky with just a touch of a breeze to make the air temperature feel perfect. But I am thinking that winds are not always so kind. About twelve hours ago, my wife and I, as well as many other campers, were scurrying around, lowering tents, raising…

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if the 96C will output positional data which can be linked to the Mode S to give ADSB out.
There is a trial about to start in the UK whereby portable GPS can be used to provide positional information to the Transponder.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Neil.

100 years ago this month, a relatively minor member of the European Monarchy was assassinated in a relatively unknown location. And the result of that moment set a new course in world history for the next 100 years. Because of the various alliances between European countries, nearly all of Europe was drug into the…

John Harmon built the first Van’s Aircraft RV-3 in California. In 1986, he modified a stock RV-3 by bolting on an angle-valve IO-360, different cowl and a raised turtledeck with modified canopy and the Harmon Rocket I (HR1) was born. Since then, John…

So, for my history buff friends, try these: When and where was the last US soil invaded and held by a foreign power? During World War II, when and what was the first Theater of Operations considered conquered by the US and its allies? And another WW II question for my Navy Air readers. What Japanese decision was considered crucial for…

I have a lot of opportunities to talk to pilots, and that is fun. I enjoy hearing of other pilots’ experiences, and I get a chance to learn from the mistakes of others. And one of the topics that often arises in fly-talk sessions has to do with AOPA and EAA and other national and regional flying organizations. Someone is always asking someone, “Are you a member?” and “So, what do you…

When I picked this book up, I was expecting a story about flying from some northerly point to some southerly point, following the birds. I was expecting something like “Father Goose”, by William Lishman. Lishman’s book follows his account of…

What is it that inspires innovation? What prompts an idea before it ever exists? What native ability fueled the Wright brothers’ passion and allowed them to soar skyward into the same air where so many others had faltered before? The answer to these questions are simply “Imagination”.…

In the February 2013 issue of Aircraft Owner Magazine I wrote about flying into Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (KSBA) and satisfying one’s hunger at the Beachside Bar and Café. Santa Barbara does not begin and end with the coastline. There is a world beyond the sand, surf, fish n’ chips and beach volleyball.…

It was in February 1963 in Davos. We took off from snow on the Golf course with a Pilatus PC-6 Porter!
Not the Turboporter, but one of the first built PC-6 with a Lycoming 540HP engine. I will never forget that ride.
At that time, I had about have of my militaryhospital "vacation" behind me. I've never felt better!
