Geekdoms Collide Saturday at Udvar-Hazy

This Saturday morning at 10 AM EST, the earth will move … or stop I guess, whichever is cooler I guess. For me, it means the first time that I’m going to visit the Udvar-Hazy Center of the Smithsonian at Washington Dulles Airport. I’ve been meaning to...

Oshkosh, the Verb

The Future of Aviation, LaHood Style

OK, I might as well just come out and say it right from the start … I’m pretty miffed. But I’ve actually been angry since the NBAA convention in Florida last fall when I heard Tom Buffenbarger, president of the International Association...

Eating our Young: The Final Flap About NWA 188

I’ve actually been trying to write this article for quite awhile. It was much tougher than I thought simply because I’m what my wife the psychologist would call conflicted, unsure of where I stood, or at least I was until a few days ago. If...

Ho, Ho, Ho Jetwhiners

I can’t believe it’s Christmas time again. Our thanks to the folks at Junior Flyer for this great Santa graphic too. Scott and I are going to take the rest of the week off to hang out with family, but we both wanted to leave you with a couple...

Be Very Afraid of This Pilot

After running this blog for three years or so I can honestly say I’ve seen and heard quite a few really interesting stories about the aviation industry. I’m headed to AOPA Summit in Tampa next week because I want to hear a few more. The other...

The Top 10 Reasons They Missed MSP

Just like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, unraveling the real story behind the Northwest/Delta Airlines crew who forgot to land at MSP just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser. Brings to mind the gap in the Nixon Watergate tapes. If that doesn’t...

Lessons From the Crash of Air France 447

Having just traveled to Paris on an Air France A330 a week before the crash of Flight 447, I took a rather personal interest in the crisis wondering whether it might have been the same aircraft I’d flown on the week before for starters and a host...

Max Says "Learn to Fly" … Pass it on

For writers, any kind of writers, the big league means writing books. My first foray came 20 years ago when Tab Books - eventually absorbed into the McGraw Hill network - gave me a chance to write about something I held near and dear to my heart, and...

Jetwhine Wins a Webbie

The past six months have not been easy for the aviation industry, or any other industry quite frankly, as we’ve all witnessed the bottom falling out of the marketplace. No one has any idea whether we’ve actually hit the bottom or not, nor...

Business Jet Travel: A Line in the Sand

Airline Labor: Tougher Tactics to Come?

I have to good fortune to be one of the aviation resources some media folks seem to want to use to translate complex aviation babble into language even my 14-year old daughter can understand. We don’t have too many good-news stories in the airline...

Landing Light

After just digging out from under 10 inches of lake effect snow in Chicago, I walked in to find these great shots from a Jetwhine reader. Thanks Alan J. They reminded me of a time when an instructor once encouraged me to try landing a Cessna 150 so softly...
