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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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

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.

This letter is a response to your article “Is a computer required equipment to fly?” in the Jan. 11 issue, and Lieutenant Colonel Burdon L. Davidson USAF (ret.), and his inability to locate pertinent information in keeping his aircraft in compliance with the Airworthiness Directives issued by the FAA. As an A&P (Airframe and Powerplant) […]
