Can anybody here tall me what the standard rate of turn is in a 757? Is it the
same as small palnes, i.ei, is it universal at 360 degrees in 2 minutes?
I've got someone telling me the Boeing 757 that hit the Pentagon did some
impossible turn before flying into the building, and it ...

I've been carrying my O2 for quite a few years now. However, I've
never found a good way to transport the cannulas/hoses/valves. The
molded plastic container they came it is too time consuming to repack
4 cannuals after every trip. I've been putting them in plastic zip

For years I've turned by back on Garmin GPSs because they did not
provide terrain. Now it looks like the Garmin 296 provides that. I'm
considering selling my Skymap IIIc (which has terrain) and buying the
Garmin. The IIIc certainly has a bigger screen but the Garmin has the

Anybody know the name of the painting that shows a grandfather and his
grandson at an airshow next to the nose of Sentimental Journey, or is there
an online aviation art gallery that might have it?  I'm looking for a print

I hesitated to even bother writing about this, since so far it seems like
pretty much a non-event.  But then I figured, what the heck...hardly anyone
ever actually writes about actual flying, however mundane, in this
newsgroup, so here you go...

Anyone know about this little 2 place twin. I would love to try and talk
my Dad into buying a kit. It looks as if it will be the cheapest twin
ever. 2 place side by side. 2 80hp motors. 3 1/2 gph, and a total of 7
gph. Looks like it will be the cheapest what to build Multi time. Put

The crosswinds runway needs $5.5 million in repairs and
safety-related work, none of which is eligible for reimbursement
by the Federal Aviation Administration, said Brad Penrod,

Stall = Engine stall??  Why do they always seem to screw this up??

because of less time i'm interested in doing an Accelerated Instruments Rating.
Some Flight Schools offer such accelerated thing.
Does anybody of you have any experience in it ?
What school has the most experience doing it ?

How do I check weather while flying in Canada? Is there a 800-WX-BRIEF
in Canada? Where do I file my domestic Canadian flight plans? The AOPA
packet didn't include any of this information.

    I know after reading this newsgroup for over three years that many
questions have been asked regarding the "best" GPS for the money...so
forgive me but the Garmin 296 is so new I can't find out much about it.
Lots of old articles about older models of GPS receivers.

I was wondering how much weight taking off the wheel pants would gain
me for cargo? I have a 1979 C152 with wheel pants and need to be able
to carry a little more weight.  I've heard around 18 pounds, but does

Whoever first recommended "Flonase" has earned themselves a FREE night in
one of our aviation theme suites!
We worked our booth at the "Fly Iowa" airshow both Saturday and Sunday.  We
were outside, in the hot, dusty wind, on the edge of a thousand square miles
