As I started reading the editorial “One sky, one voice” (Sept. 23 issue), the object was to seek the one word that might be missing. Sure enough nothing was said regarding the equity of the situation being discussed. It is all one sky. It truly is and is jointly owned by each property owner to […]

Learning from others’ mistakes
Amidst the rubble of a fatal King Air crash, accident investigator Greg Feith found something strange: A Velcro strip on the panel. When he asked the pilot’s wife what it was for, she told him that her husband would put an alarm clock there, set for 15-minute intervals. During his regular flights from Oklahoma to […]
Red goes to school
The other day, I was sitting in my dirty truck patiently waiting in the pick-up line at Clayton Elementary School when I heard a rooster crow. Loudly. My first thought was that I had finally lost it. When the rooster crowed again, a tingling of a suspicion emerged. My next thought was, “”This is not […]
Thanks for the hunting articles
Congratulations and thank you for the excellent articles on hunting that appeared in the September issue. Too many good aviation periodicals have died because articles simply regurgitate the same stuff we learned during training. Once one has mastered flying from point A to point B, it’s time to go somewhere! I love to fly because […]

Wrong engine
In your Sept. 8 issue you have an article “Engine malfunction grounds last airworthy Lockheed Constellation.” I believe there may be an error as to what engine was damaged. The accompanying photo is showing the No. 2 engine as being removed. At least two places in the article the engine is referred to as ” […]
The wrong direction
Well put, Amelia (A permanent Washington ADIZ? Why? Sept. 9 issue). I cannot for the life of me fathom why our government prefers to restrict our freedom instead of protect our freedom in the name of security. It seems that the government is bent in the wrong direction. What will it take to redirect their […]
Missing puzzle
MISSING PUZZLE Where is the crossword? I couldn’t find it in the latest edition. It is my favorite part of the paper and my wife usually works it before I can get it. I have been a long time reader. I hope the Crossword comes back. William J. Nelson, M.D. El Paso, Texas Editor’s Note: We […]
