We’ve been working for quite a while now developing an upgrade to the Living With Your Plane website. It’s not ready yet, but we’re getting a lot closer. One of the new primary features of the improved website is a map with pins showing airparks — or, as some people refer to them, fly-in communities. […]
GLOBAL WARMING’S HIDDEN AGENDA
To Thomas F. Norton: Right on. Beautiful editorial (“Aviation and the green hysteria,” Jan. 25 issue). As you must know, but do not state, this green stuff is the vehicle a powerful clique is using to get control of the world. The Global Warming issue is as phony as can be. I have been a […]
MUSEUM HONORS 390TH BOMB GROUP
I would like to call your attention to our museum located in Tucson, Arizona, the 390th Memorial Museum. We are a separate museum located on the grounds of the Pima Air Museum at 6000 E. Valencia Road. This museum, which has been open for 25 years, features a fully restored B-17G and many artifacts commemorating […]
READER RECOMMENDATION FOR ROUGH-RUNNING ENGINE
To Paul McBride: I just received my copy of GANews and, as usual, your column was one of the first for me to read (What to do about a “slightly” rough running engine, Jan. 25 issue). I think Joe Casey has a carburetor venturi problem. There was an AD on some O-320s and his may […]
CAN AL GORE EXPLAIN THIS?
I read Thomas F. Norton’s column in the Jan. 25 issue, “Aviation and the green hysteria” — right on. I flew for Wien Alaska Airlines from 1952-1982, most of it north of a line from Nome-Fairbanks-Whitehorse. I have lived in Alaska since 1945. What I don’t understand is why somebody doesn’t ask Al Gore to […]
LIFE IS GOOD
To Deb McFarland: Great stuff (Diary of a mad Luscombe pilot). You’re right: Age and waistline are immaterial when your mind’s in the sky. Life is good. You got a purty airplane, too. JERRY PAINTER Arlington, Wash.
I’VE FOUND A WINNER
To Deb McFarland: Regarding your column, Short Final, that ran in the Jan. 25 issue (Diary of a mad Luscombe pilot). This is the second article of yours I have read. With the first it was “WHAT? and grin.” The latest is “LOL, I’ve found a winner.” DENNIS RENZ via email
THE WOES OF A LOWLY PIPER CHEROKEE DRIVER
I, too, have flown into Winder, Georgia, with the main goal centered on feasting at the Spitfire Grill at the Jackson County Airport (Short Final: Diary of a mad Luscombe pilot, Jan. 25 issue). I had flown from Klamath Falls, Oregon, four days of salivating about their wondrous $100 hamburger. That particular day, I’d flown […]
GAN’S McFARLAND IS GA’S BEST AMBASSADOR
Regarding Deb McFarland: Very good choice, guys. She sees the magic in flying, where so many have put it away as no more than a means of travel. I can only assume that there are very few boring times in her family life. She is the best ambassador for GA I have seen in a […]
