QUOTE (K5054NZ @ Apr 7 2010, 07:20 AM) Burma is what it was all about. Very touching as commentator Jim Hickey's late father flew PR.XIX Spits in Burma and one time had a run-in with three A6Ms. Was a magnificent display and one I had no prior knowledge about at all. Have some passable photos to upload later today. A PR spit vs 3 zeros???? GULP - don't like those odds! Reminds me of the story about the EF-111 pilot during the first Gulf War who scored a "manouvre kill" - managed to do so well at evading the MiG that was on his tail, that said MiG flew into the...

QUOTE (SA227 @ Mar 28 2010, 08:49 PM) If you have a read of Part 61.801 the helicopter and aeroplane instrument rating are separate ratings. You require a minimum of 10 hours dual instruction in the appropriate category of aircraft and you also need to meet the night flying requirements for the category of aircraft. From my experience instructing and as a flight examiner typically you will need to do 25-40 hours of training to reach the standard for a MEIR. You could do the majority in a fixed wing aircraft and then complete the last 10 hours in a helicopter. That would give you a...

and even more on the misuse of body scanners:- ________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________ So it looks like the misuse is becoming more common, and I also read an article on the Economist about a kind of lie detector that they might also use.

QUOTE (happytraveller @ Feb 24 2010, 06:47 PM) Saw this news item on the BBC, and what a great place it would be to visit if it was possible........4000 aircraft parked there! "Spread across the huge 2,600 acre site, equivalent in size to 1,430 football pitches, is a collection of over 4,000 retired aircraft including nearly every plane the US armed forces have flown since World War II."
