Everytime I open up AVSIM (I've got it as my starting place by default) I get those annoying pop-up ads, asking if I want to get rid of pop-up ads! This is the only website I frequent that does it. Anyway around it. Seems the only pop-up ads I get are for software to get rid of pop-ups! :-mad

Celestia is a free real-time space simulation that lets you experience our universe in three dimensions. Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn't confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy. All travel in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across. A 'point-and-goto' interface makes it simple to navigate through the universe to the object you want to visit. FREE - I think this is pretty cool!http://www.shatters.net/celestia/http://saltydogfly…

Last night at my Dad 80th BD, me and a couple of people were talking about jetliners and someone wondered how long does the tires on the big airliners last before they are replaced.Naturally, everyone turned to look at me due to my avid flight sim hobby and I did not have a clue!!So, how many landing and takeoff cycles take place before the tires are replaced on an airliner on the average??ThanksJohn in Auburn, Ga

Hi all,I imagine most of us fail to exploit this remarkable search engine fully. Today I came across this useful link which will certainly help to remedy that fact:http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,1306756,00.aspMike :-wave

Larry New, 325th Fighter Wing commander, and other dignitaries applauded the Raptor team for their outstanding efforts in making the event possible. Boeing builds the Raptor

An airline stewardess was giving the standard safety briefing to the passengers. She had just finished saying 'In the event of a water landing, your seat cushion may be used as a flotation device,' when a man remarked, "Hey! If the plane can't fly, why should I believe the seat can float?"--------------------------------------------------------------------Passengers on a small commuter plane are waiting for the flight to leave. They're getting a little impatient, but the airport staff has assured them that the pilots will be there soon, and the flight can take offimmediately after that.The entrance opens, and two men walk up the aisle, dressed in pilots' uniforms both are…

Hello how can I find Atlas Air Flight Plans which provide departure airport and time and also destination airport and aircraft type which I am really looking for are flights with the 747-400. Thank you.

This looks like a place to avoid----http://www.alaska.faa.gov/fai/images/TANVLY/CLF-a.jpgNotice the first item in the notes(the rest don't make it look any more attractive)Dave

My brother found this site searching for the Wright kite used to test wing warping, they have free plans. I found the link in the Century of Aviation forum with a search, but for those who haven't been there or seen it...http://www.first-to-fly.com/If you have kids doing a school project on the Wrights, or want to know anything about them, this is THE place to go. History, documents, tons of LARGE pictures, and even an auction for the afore mentioned prop.

I have about 75$ sitting in a Stormpay account (www.stormpay.com) that I would love to spend, but as of yet I have not found anyone who takes it. Stormpay is a nice alternative to paypal considering paypal has some severe CS issues (wait till you have your account frozen with 5k in it...)Anyway not a paypal bashing thread..just looking to maybe do some shopping.

Today my search function for My Yahoo is toast. nothing works at all. Yahoo gives me an eror every time. If I go to advanced search it sends me to a page that looks like a regular search function but takes me to a "My Firstbookmarks" site and a search engine there. If I type in Lycos or Google it does the same thing. Just curious if anyone knows what might be up. Adaware is not seeing anything concerning this so far, think its spyware but Im not sure. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.Hornit
