I guess I'm pretty partial to this site...moohahaha. :twisted:
I've met most of my flying friends on here.

Some others I like:

Every topic under the sun for my beloved 170:
www.cessna170.org

Government-provided weather (NWS for aviation)
adds.aviationweather.gov

Fun GA tidbits:
www.avweb.com

Where I find all those accident analysis stories:
Google News ("small plane")

Like Skyvector, but better in my opinion:
www.runwayfinder.com

The guy who build it is cool too, he was going to help me out on some BCP stuff a few years back. Skyvector guy told me to take a hike.

It takes a big man to cry. But it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

I didn't know if it's an un-mentionable, kinda like M**le. :wink:
