Got in another hop today, with some solo time tossed in for good
measure..  Was supposed to fly yesterday, but the aux fuel gauge went
batty on the flight before mine.  It was nice to get a call from the
school letting me know before I took the drive down.  Unfortunately, I

On the schedule to fly this morning at 10.  Rain was forecast for
sometime around 12am and I was awakened at 3:39am by a torrential
downpour.  Cats and dogs my a.s, this was cows and horses.  I haven't
seen it rain this hard in YEARS out here.

Today was a flat out kick in the a.s..  A week ago I was talking to a
friend of my sister's who was coordinating "Red Ribbon Week" (an
anti-drug program dedicated to the memory of slain DEA agent Enrique
Camarena) at my nephew's school.  She mentioned last year she had the

I did my first full down autorotation yesterday however it was not my

On the book at 10 today, but got a call from my instructor (let's call
him "Q" from now on 'cuz I'm too lazy to type "my instructor") called
me last night to let me know the ship I was scheduled in might not be
ready to fly as it was down for maintenance.

Looking for Hiller UH-12B parts anybody got a good contact or know of
someone parting one out.

Is there anyone out there who can recommend any UK integrated JAR CPL(H)
courses?  I've checked out Cabair and the only other school set-up I know of
is Oxford Aviation Training who I've yet to check out in person.  Currently
my options are to jump in with both feet, sell up and do ...

Sean do you see the original post that I (Shiver Me Timbers) made
regarding the Canadian Governments recent purchase of Sikorsky
S-92 helicopters or do you only see the TROLL ALERT message
being made by Dennis Hawkins.

Hey any of you oldtimers know which will give me a faster cruise,

TIA,
Bart
