Click Here To Help Improving This Blog !Search more, you’ll find more. This principle perfectly applies to aviation resources on the web. I use to bookmark interesting aviation sites to later share them on this blog. There is a drawback in doing that: the list grows quickly, and I don’t want to turn this blog into “PlasticSurfer”. So here is the first […]
As a pilot, the challenging part in maintaining a proper level of theoretical knowledge is to find support material that is not too boring. Sorry, not too academical. The “Principles of Flight” - the posh name for aerodynamics - is not the most easiest topic, but the webiste I found for you will make it […]
I’m always amazed by the infinite variety of the web, and by the excellent content some put there just because they can. Research work for this blog frequently leads me to new discoveries, and two of them over the last days were so good that I can’t resist and have to share them here…
The first […]
It’s always the same story ! As soon as I’m away from the Internet for a couple of days (more on this later), interesting event do occur. If you missed it, a gun got fired on a US Airways flight. Gun on board ? Yes, one of those pilots can legally carry if they want […]

There is however one thing making it different from all other aviation blogs: posts on aircrafts for sale. Whether you look for a Bonanza or Cessna Citation, you will find […]
I’m an avid aviation reader, but time is frequently the limit of what I can read. So each time I receive a new magazine, I start reading the columns from authors I know and appreciate. If you’re a fellow reader you won’t be surprised to know that my favorite topics are modern aircrafts and safety.

Aviation is a serious activity, and as all serious activities it also contains a serious part of fun ! From true stories, like this pilot who wanted to say he made a kiss-landing, but talk to his passengers about a “french-kiss-landing”.
The communications between air traffic controllers and pilots are also sometimes… surprising, like when a […]
One of my favorite source of information is www.planenews.com. I already posted about this site in early december when they opened their pilot shop.
