and I were only planning to stay there long enough to refuel the plane and eat lunch. In the mid-1800’s, a large group of German immigrants transformed Mazatlan from a small fishing village into a thriving seaport. Their legacy lives on in the form of local melodies based on Bavarian folk music, called Banda. Another vestige of the past remains: The Pacifico Brewery established in 1900. Unfortunately, Miguel and I weren’t there long enough to sample the music or the beer. However, it turned out we were in Mazatlan long enough to establish Millennium Airlines before moving on to Puerto Vallarta. We were flying a Cessna 172, a four seat, single engine plane with a high, fixed wing. Back in 1955, Cessna Aircraft Company started making 172’s and more of them have been built than any other aircraft. Based on how long it has been around and its popularity, the Cessna 172 ranks as the most successful aircraft in history. Miguel’s 172 was a year 2000 model which meant it was a special edition called the Millennium 172. As such, it included upgrades and modifications; several of them, such as extra fresh air vents and redesigned seats, later became standard equipment. It also had a commemorative bronze medallion on the outside which included a stylized version of the word Millennium. When the fueler in Mazatlan observed the medallion on the plane, he asked if we were pilots for Millennium Airlines. As we were flying a rather diminutive plane, we found that rather funny. It…
until 16 years after the plane crash that then University President Warren Armstrong cut the program due to financial reasons. To this day many people argue and debate whether Wichita State should reinstate the football program and it is my belief that they should. Since the ending of the program there have been multiple instances of outside and inside sources contemplating bringing the program back. For example, in 1998 an advisory committee at Wichita State recommended reinstating the…
Cirrus vs Cessna Flying a Cessna is great experience. Flying a Cirrus is a spectacular experience. Although both of these are aircrafts that do the same thing, they are very different. Technology has come a long way in aviation and especially in the new 2017 cirrus. Comparing to the 1970’s Cessna’s which is the common aircrafts flown right now, there has been a huge noticeable difference in design and innovation. One of many differences in the Cirrus compared to the Cessna, is the avionics.…
Cessna Skyhawk single-jet planes, first built in 1956 by Clyde Cessna, were very profitable in the 1980’s. However, with a downturn in the aviation business during the following 15 years, Cessna was unable to produce enough profit to sustain production of the Skyhawk and similar piston-engine planes and stopped production. Stopping production also resulted in Cessna laying off 75 percent of their employees. Fortunately, Skyhawks are not the only aircrafts that Cessna builds and they were able…
pill, Russel claims, which she took before falling "into a deep sleep”. Before going to the Bahamas, Aaliyah told her boyfriend that she didn't like the plane. In response, he advised her not to get on with it. But her last words to him were, “You know, I gotta do it.” "The total weight of the luggage, fuel on board at the time of the accident, plus the weight of the passengers showed that the total gross weight of the airplane was substantially exceeded," said the National Transportation Safety…
Ford is a private pilot of both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, and owns an 800-acre (3.2 km2) ranch in Jackson, Wyoming, approximately half of which he has donated as a nature reserve.

Ford began flight training in the 1960s at Wild Rose Idlewild Airport in Wild Rose, Wisconsin, flying in a Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer, but…
Between 100 and 200 employees worked on the aircraft’s development, but those people largely came from Cessna. However, workers at a production facility would be needed to fill orders of the Scorpion jet, he said. So, One may say that whilst on challenge, scorpion brings the capability to peer and make the most perishable intelligence and strike fleeting objectives, bringing tactical benefit to even the most worrying conditions. Scorpion will definitely meet even the most stringent US military…

Peninsula. We were only planning to stay there long enough to get fuel and eat lunch. In the mid-1800’s, a large group of German immigrants transformed Mazatlan from a native fishing village into a thriving seaport. One of their continuing legacies is the local music which is called Banda and is a variation of Bavarian folk music. Another is The Pacifico Brewery which was established in 1900. Unfortunately, we were there not there long enough to sample the music or the beer. However, it…
Deep bonding with flights I developed as a toddler. The flights’ landing and takeoff, I watched curiously when I was waiting in the airport launch for boarding Lufthansa flight to India. Fading of sawing noise as the plane disappeared in the sky during takeoff and puffs of smoke from the wheel as they touched the ground on landing captivated me. My level of excitement to watch these scenes never changed a bit even now. The contrail left behind by jets still amuses me. Playing flight…
