He either has everything, prefers to shop for himself, strives to maintain a clutter free life, or the traditional anniversary gifts do not fit his tastes.

If your guy is into airplanes, why not build a basket with airplane books...

After all the screw ups we have seen at the Federal Bureau of Investigation we know that they need some pretty good public relations right about now. It seems that during the 911 hijacking and attack we later learned that the FBI knew that international terrorists were learning how to fly airplanes but they did not want to learn how to land. Recently we see that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is now hiring people who smoke pot. Their reasoning has been that it is hard to find employees that have not at least tried some illegal drug. In other words the FBI is lowering their standards and one has to ask if they have the standards that low then how can we be sure they are protecting us from...

Most fly fishermen take the sport very seriously. Going beyond the fact that it is a way to catch fish and also to enjoy the outdoors, fly fishermen think of what they do as an art, and rightly so. Fly fishing is much more involved than regular fishing, and it takes practice and dedication to learn the intricacies of the sport.

When learning how to fly fish, or if you have already been doing it for a while, having the right fly fishing rod is essential.

When I was just learning how to fly fish I was very fortunate to have been taught about displaying common courtesy and respect for the beautiful natural resources that God has graciously given us. I naively thought that this is what fly fishing was all about and that everyone who fly fished had the same morals and values that I had learned. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I have found that while many fly fishermen hold to these same moral and ethical standards that I do, not everyone does. In my idealistic mind, I still believe that all fly fishermen should put themselves on a pedestal and should be shining examples of what all fly fishermen should be. I think we should lead by example. We need to be...

There are a number of types of fly lines, one of the common differentiators of these is fly line density. Fly lines have different densities, each density is used for a different method of fly fishing. At the highest level, fly lines either float or sink. When we break it down a bit further we discover that there are more than two types of fly line densities. Here we're going to cover four common types: floating, sink-tip, sinking and intermediate. Floating Fly Lines Floating fly lines are easy to understand, because they simply do what their name suggests, they float on top of the water (or sit in the water film). Floating fly lines are hugely popular for fishing dry flies or nymphs; they can also...

The older we get the less gifts we tend to receive for our birthday, and the gifts that we do receive tend to be things that we need instead of things we want. As if growing older weren't bad enough, our birthdays seem to take on an air of banality that's reinforced by the presence of banal gifts. You might think that this complaint sounds selfish, but the phenomenon that underpins it is one of the unfortunate aspects of the aging process: the older a person gets, the more that they're expected to behave as if having their needs met is a sufficient replacement for receiving the things that they want. Do you someone who fits this criterion? Is that person you? If so, it's time that you stopped...

On December 5, 1945, five Navy TBM Avenger torpedo bombers left Ft Lauderdale Florida on a training mission. They were to fly to several points in the Atlantic and return to the base in Florida, covering a distance of 320 miles. Radio conversations between the pilots were detectable by base and other aircraft in the area. It was known that the practice bombing operation was completed successfully. The first sign of trouble came with the transmission, "I don't know where we are. We must have got lost after that last turn." The transmission was heard by another flight instructor, Lieutenant Robert F. Fox in FT-74, who tried to help the lost flight regain their bearings. Lieutenant Charles Carroll...

Winter time and bad weather is usually a big damper for General Aviation Pilots. During those long winters its easy to forget lots of knowledge that was acquired with lots of hard work. The medium you operate in is nowhere else to be found, than, of course in the sky and it is therefore even more important to keep up with knowledge. It cannot be applied or found anywhere else. So what is one to do in order to stay "fresh" vs "stale"? Reading and more reading and studying; it may sound so stale, but just as a few days ago, the whole nation watched in disbelieve when an Airbus was very skillfully ditched into the Hudson River and all people on board walked away with only wet and cold feet... This is...

Wikipedia on the Web states that a heading indicator (directional gyro or DG) is a flight instrument used in an aircraft to inform the pilot of their heading. It is usually referred to as the directional gyro. Most general aviation aircraft with Directional Gyros have the non-slaved type. This means they need to reset to the magnetic compass at some time interval, depending on the apparent drift of the unit.) One good check for apparent drift is to fly aligned with a fixed land mark (section line road) while checking the gyro heading and then return and fly the same land mark 1/2-1 hour later. From this you can determine the drift rate degrees/10 minutes. (The FAA TSO spec. is a maximum of 4 degrees...

In the hours and days immediately following the tragic attacks on America of 9/11, there was much speculation about the effects on the general aviation industry. While the events of September 11, 2001 have had a significant impact on the economy as a whole, sales of personal aircraft in Michigan have experienced a surprising boost. Certainly, the convenience of personal transportation has played a major role in this increase as airport lines and security have become more time consuming. The reduction of flights resulting from the airline cost-cutting have limited flexibility for the business person and affected the productivity of companies relying on commercial transportation. These factors alone...

Satellite/broadcast communications For more details on this topic, see Transponder (satellite communications). A communications satellite channels are called transponders, because each is a separate transceiver or repeater. With digital video data compression and multiplexing, several video and audio channels may travel through a single transponder on a single wideband carrier. Original analog video only has one channel per transponder, with subcarriers for audio and automatic transmission identification service ATIS. Non-multiplexed radio stations can also travel in single channel per carrier (SCPC) mode, with multiple carriers (analog or digital) per transponder. This allows each station to...

Ever since I was a kid, I had the dream of one day flying a plane. Like other kids my age, I assembled model planes and proudly hung them from strings above my bed, so I could enjoy them from the moment my sleepy eyes opened each morning.

Now, as an adult, I'm the "go-to-guy" among my friends with any question they may have about Piper Airplanes. If you have an interest in planes, or specifically Piper Aircraft... you should enjoy this article. Piper Aircraft was first made famous by its distinct bright yellow Piper J-3 Cub in the...
