Whether or not Arizona is flat is debatable - you've obviously never been there, and my Phoenix sectional aeronautic chart, plus several trips over I-40 disagree with that postulate.
However, Fosset seems to be missing over Nevada, which I assure you is quite mountainous, especially in the area 70 miles SE of Reno where he is supposed to have departed from.

Christ, what is it, preteen know-it-all day on Slashdot?
1. No, you don't (generally) call "the tower" to file a flight plan. By the way, you are aware that airports with control towers are a minuscule minority, right?
2. No, you don't call "the FAA" to file a flight plan.
3. No, you don't need to file a flight plan to take of at 99.99 % of the commercial airports in the country.
The only time you are required to file a flight plan for VFR flight is if you are planning to cross the ADIZ - air defense identification zone. This may be the case if you are planning to cross the US border, planning a flight over international water, or are flying in/out of a few select airports surrounding Washington DC.
You can file a flight plan in a few ways. You can file online using DUATS, which of course requires an internet connection. You can call 1-800-WX-BRIEF which will connect you to the helpful, friendly people at the Lockheed Martin company. Since all flight service facilities have been outsourced to LMCO, whom is obviously interested in maximizing shareholder value, filing a VFR flight plan now requires around a one hour time on hold. So of course, no one files unless they have to.
If it doesn't stick out of the slot, you won't be able to receive a signal. That's the antenna, and the the GPS signal is too weak to bury it inside the card slot.
Bulldinky. I bought arount two dozen brand-new name brand CFL bulbs when I bought my house 11 months ago. They look terrible, and ABSOLUTELY take a few minutes to hit full brightness. Within 6 months 1/4 had burned out. Since then, I only use them in my porch lights that stay on all night, and replaced all the interior bulbs with halogens. None have burned out yet, and it's made no noticable change to my power bill.
100LL only presents big fouling issues in engines originally certified to use 80/87, which is of course no longer available. A little dose of TCP at each fillup solves the problem nicely.
That EAA STC? Only good for some little putt-putt trainers. If I'm only burning 5-6 GPH, it's barely worth the trouble to save 75C/gallon. Besides, the STC is rapidly becoming completely worthless. You can't use mogas with ethanol in it, and it's becoming almost impossible to find mogas without it in many parts of the country. Even worse, not all states require labeling on the pump stating ethanol content, so you may be buying "mystery fuel"
Ducati has been building a system to mechanically control valve closing for quite a while... the desmodromic cylinder head. One cam opens the valve, the other closes it. http://www.ducatidesmo.com/valves.htm
I wholeheartedly agree. You may find this picture relevant to your interests, I took it on Dec. 26 2006, onboard a Delta Airlines flight from New York to Seattle.
The IFE had to be rebooted 3 or 4 times during a 5 hour flight, some people's screens never worked at all. Luckly I caught a snapshot of the offensive software's startup screen.
It's the credit card which can bork your FICO score due to it's practice of reporting "Highest Balance" instead of "Credit Limit" to the credit bureaus, so your utilization ratio looks artifically high. More info on Crapital One.
Yep, LORAN still works just fine. I fly a small plane with an Apollo 618C, which works great, and IMO has a far superior user interface than the godawful bendix-king GPS which is also installed on the A/C.
I highly doubt you've ever had to shop for yourself. Incandescent lightbulbs sell for 25c each pretty regularly. TFA was ecstatic that *mart managed to reduce it's price for CFLs to $2.50 each.
I have electric forced air heat. Want to explain to me how heating my home with lightbulbs would be any less efficient than running the furnace?
In fact, I'd bet that it would be MORE efficient to heat with lightbulbs. The furnace has duct losses due to the air distribution pipes running though the crawlspace.
I RTFA and I don't believe that "last 10 years" for a second. I replaced every single lightbulb in my apartment with CFLs. (15 bulbs or so.) Within one year, all but one had failed.
Zillow claims it has 50,000 sqft, 8 bedrooms and 1???? bathroom. If you put put the parcel ID 9208900079 into the King County Tax Assessor's page, they claim it has two buildings, one with 48160 sqft, 7 bedrooms, and 18.75 bathroms, and the other with 1890 sqft, 1 br, 1 bath. Choose whomever you with to believe.

You missed the second part of the headline: "Online Retailer Also Cuts Energy Costs by 33 Percent" And today, they've cut their energy costs by 100%!
Have you ever been to central Nevada? There's a hell of a lot of nothing out there.

Of course, the same can be said about nitrogen ZOMG, we're all going to die! 78% of our atmosphere is already nitrogen!

Yeah, I read that book too. I'm practicing for my new career as a high-speed pizza delivery specialist as we speak.

I find Pilot MyCast indisepensable. On the ground only, of course, but when you need to keep a weather eye out, it's great.
I, for one, welcome them.
