Oct 31

Posted by admin in flying school | No Comments

Nottingham has a delightful array of fascinating tourist attractions, suiting everyone from the history buff to the Robin Hood fan, but the city has a lot to offer beyond half-day excursions for out-of-towners. For those who live in the city proper, or in its surrounding conurbation, and for those who visit on day trips and holidays, there is music of all sorts, theater, dining, shopping, sport and nightlife. Entertainment is rich and plentiful in the modern city of Nottingham.

For classical music, there are several performing groups to choose from, including the Nottingham Symphony Orchestra, the Nottingham Philharmonic Orchestra, the Harmonic Society, the Bach Choir, the Symphonic Wind Orchestra, and the Early Music group Musica Donum Dei. The government also sponsors an annual series of orchestral concerts known as the Nottingham Classics, and the Nottingham Music Society hosts chamber music performances at the Castle Gate Congregational Centre.

The city is home to several other exciting music venues, including the Royal Concert Hall and the Nottingham Arena, which feature a wide variety of modern performers. More intimate shows are played at club venues such as Junktion 7, The Old Angel, the award-winning Rock City and its sister venues, and many more. Nottingham has a very lively pub and club scene, sustained by young adults from the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University. The local music scene has produced the bands Swing Out Sister, Ten Years After, Paper Lace, Tindersticks, Stereo MCs, Pitchshifter and Consumed.

The discerning theatre buff may attend plays at the Nottingham Playhouse, the Theatre Royal, and the Nottingham Arts Theatre. Smaller local theatres include Albert Hall Nottingham, the Bonington Theatre, the Clarendon Community Theatre, the Courtyard Theatre, and the Lakeside Arts Centre. Each year Newstead Abbey hosts summer theatre, with Shakespeare and other offerings, while in the winter time they present nostalgic Christmas pageants.

Who Is My Hero

Oct 31

Posted by admin in flight school | 2 Comments

Bombs exploded across the night sky lighting up the world with hot fiery bursts of red. A loud sonic boom awakened the sleeping people to the reality of war.

Fear perpetrated the hearts of those who were not prepared. Horror lined the faces of those who survived the first attack. Terror overwhelmed their thoughts because it was only a matter of time and their lives would soon be over.

The Lord God Almighty looked down upon the ragging firestorm and took flight into the night air abandoning the perfection of Heaven to fight for the children He loved. God strapped on His sword of righteousness and waged a great battle against the evil serpent of the world.

The Devil incited evil people with a plan to destroy goodness from the world. Their bombs pelted every good country destroying those who fought for justice. Burning up lands and kingdoms for the sake of conquest.

The people cried out in one voice, pleads for a Savior to defeat the Devil’s rampage on the earth. They shouted all in unison, the question, “Who Is My Hero? Who can save us from the anti-Christ?”

Isaiah 59: 14&15a, “Justice is driven away, and right cannot come near. Truth stumbles in the public square, and honesty finds no place there. There is so little honesty that anyone who stops doing evil finds himself the victim of crime.”

The bombs threaten extinction of all human life. The murderous threats of evil explode igniting fighting on every single shore. No one is safe, cry the people. No one is able to defend his house from the ravages of war.

The people cry out all in unison, “Who Is My Hero? Who will save us from the Anti-Christ?”

Leaving Nothing To Be Desired In North Carolina – North Carolina Travel Information

Oct 31

Posted by admin in aviation | No Comments

From the Atlantic Seaboard to the Appalachian Mountains, North Carolina has all the bases covered for travel, whether it’s business or pleasure. Spanning from outdoor recreation to exquisite dining and from modern industry to historical legends, North Carolina is the place to travel any time of year. Each of the four distinct seasons has something to offer.

North Carolina was one of the 13 original colonies, although its history starts much earlier as the first English settlement in the new world. The mysterious “Lost Colony” on Roanoke Island was established by the Crown in 1585, composed mostly of men. By 1587, when an expedition had returned, the entire settlement was gone. There are many theories about whether they were assimilated into one of the many local tribes or if they had perished as the hands of natives or due to starvation; luckily, you can visit the archaeological site today and decide for yourself what might have been their fate. Roanoke Island also happens to be the birthplace of the first English child born in the New World, Virginia Dare.

Travel North Carolina from Border to Border

North Carolina is divided into four distinct regions, gaining in elevation as they move west. Consequently, travelers to the state can enjoy a wonderful combination of Southern warmth and Northeastern cool all in one journey. The Blue Ridge Mountains in the Shining Rock Wilderness Area is a majestic destination for hikers and backpackers within the Appalachian Mountains that wind their way through Western North Carolina. There are also a number of ski resorts and winter getaways in this elevated part of the state, as well as the highest peak east of the Mississippi River: Mount Mitchell.

Aspen is one of the most popular ski destinations in the Unites States and perhaps one of the best well known in the entire world. Creating an Aspen ski vacation resort was the brainchild of Friedl Pfeifer, an accomplished skier from Austria who wound up in Aspen at the end of WW II.

With only a few dollars in his pocket he founded the first ski school in Aspen and partnered with Walter Paepcke to create to create what was then the world’s longest chairlift.

The sleepy mining town of Aspen was suddenly transformed into one of the most popular recreational nooks in America. Now Aspen is home to many ski resorts, hotels, and bread and breakfast cottages to accommodate the thousands of people which take an Aspen ski vacation each year.

Are you considering an Aspen ski vacation? If so, it is a very popular choice, and you will be surely be glad you visited Aspen. Aspen is surrounded by 4 mountains and offers more than 4500 acres of fascinating terrain. Aspen receives plenty of snow each year that is just perfect for skiing and other snow related sports.

Ajax Mountain is a big draw for the more advanced skiers. It has over 700 acres for skiing and a vertical drop of more than 3200 feet. Next to Ajax is the Aspen Highlands which is perfectly suitable for beginning and intermediate skiers. You may even spot some Olympic medalists on the Aspen Highlands, as it is a favored skiing spot for skiers of all abilities who seek an Aspen ski vacation.

The Buttermilk is smaller mountain and more suited for beginning skiers. This also is home to the longest terrain park and host to the ESPN Winter X Games.

The Value of Counterintuitive Thinking in a Recession

Oct 29

Posted by admin in aviation | No Comments

Business people in the service sector received additional confirmation of what they have suspected for some time to be unfolding in Ireland: services are being hit hard as all but the most essential purchases are pared back by consumers and businesses alike. The NCB Purchasing Manager’s Index (where the baseline value is 50) dropped to a low of 36.1 in October; it has now shrunk for nine months on the trot. Bottom-line indicators on new work levels, staffing and pipeline activity are all continuing to splutter.

The first response of most managers in these circumstances is to cut costs: staffing shrinks, and expenditure on marketing, advertising and consultancy shrivels as companies try to get lean. If the economy doesn’t pick up, additional rounds of cuts are made, as the company grimly hunkers down, adopts the hedgehog position to protect itself, and hopes it can survive the economic winter.

In one way, this policy of self-preservation may be seen to reflect a lack of timely business planning; as Donald Keough, the former president of Coca-Cola writes in ‘The Ten Commandments for Business Failure’, any company that doesn’t keep a watchful eye on staffing and non-core expenditure in times of plenty is likely to be ill-equipped for any pending heavy weather.

For Helicopter training, cheaper to fly Airplanes first?

Oct 25

Posted by admin in flying airplanes | 5 Comments

Whenever people ask about learning to fly helicopters, there is always someone who advises them that it will be less expensive to fly airplanes first, then complete an add-on rating. What do you guys think?

Let us assume that helicopters cost about double, and that the student just wants to be a commercial helicopter pilot, with an instrument rating. They have no particular desire to fly airplanes other than as a less expensive means to that end. Can anyone show by calculation how it will be cheaper to fly airplanes first?
I am hoping to resolve the matter for the purpose of advising future student pilots on the best path to take. From a strictly financial perspective, is it better to train in Airplanes first? or Helicopters first?

Naturally a new pilot may have to build time to be employable, above and beyond the initial training. But, this will be true either way, so I’m mostly curious about the cost of earning the certificate itself.
Joe, doesn’t a commercial helicopter license require only 150 hours, instead of the 250 for airplanes?
150 x $150 = $22,500?
61.129(c)?
Is 50 hours really sufficient for a helo Commercial add-on?
Learn to hover: ~10 hours
Learn maneuvers, especially autorotation, proficient to solo: 10-20 hours
35 hours PIC (i.e. solo): 61.129(c)(2)(1)
Practice until ready for checkride: ~10 hours
Instrument Add-on: 15 hours 61.65(d)(2)(i)
And this would be if everything went perfectly. What do you guys think?
With regard to just the license itself, even a 50 hour add-on plus 250 airplane time will be more expensive than 150 helicopter time.

flight school?

how mutch will it cost to get a flying licens in las vegas.

Usually to get your private pilots license in the US it averages between $5800. – $7000. It really depends upon how much time it takes you to get your rating, the FAA requires 40 hours of flight time, but almost everyone needs a little more to be ready for their flight test. If you are looking for a flight school I suggest that you visit http://www.beapilot.com/ they have a database that you can research for flight schools.

Hope this helps and good luck!

i am scared, isn’t that enough.

I will tell you a funny little story, ok? So sit back and relax and think humor~~

Me and my older sis (at the time ages were 21&26) went to Mississippi for 12 days. We of course flew down from the East Coast. About a two hour air trip roughly. She was soooo calm and relaxed while getting our bags checked and she kept telling me to stop being so silly of worrying…

Taxi-ing down the run way – I had to just about de-claw her nails from my arm skin~ she clamped down so hard crying "oh my god, oh my god" LOL LOL It really isnt that bad, dont let people tell you any different, I was a nervous wreck before we took off, but while we were heading out and up– was the most peaceful ride………

So enjoy ur trip, it really really really isnt bad at all. Even hit some Turb- still wasnt bad at all……..

happy travels!!!!!!!!
