I had my handheld radio on today listening to the local traffic at a nearby airfield. This is what I heard.
Airport Unicom, what is your active runway?

Someone forwarded me a link recently to this NPR story where listeners were asked to send in clips of their favorite sounds and talk a bit about why the sound had meaning for me.

Cessna has announced they will take the wraps off of their new plane marking their entry into the LSA market on Monday at 9:30. (At Oshkosh of course.) Cessna will then hold a news conference where they are expected to talk about the aircraft as well as release details about new prop aircraft they are […]
Starplulse has an article questioning if Angelina Jolie should be flying a Cirrus. Of course I question how much the author knows about the Cirrus since he referred to it as a “speedy jet”. Yes it is speedy… jet it is not. ;)
