Mexico to Manufacture Aircraft
It appears Mexico with its 120 million population is considering getting into the lucrative aviation manufacturing sector. Mexico is sending its team of aviation specialists to the Ukraine to look into manufacturing new parts, spare parts, fuselages and wing assemblies as well as setting up certified repair stations. This agreement does not affect the United States in anyway, but the Mi Helicopter series does include the Mi-24 pictured here. The Ukrainian President announced the two countries may draft an agreement to protect their investments and relief for problems with double taxation. Not so sure this is a good piece of news for the Department of Homeland Security? That is rather close to our already leaking borders.

Sex in a Cessna, Part III
Now then, your head should be slightly off to the side so you can see around your sexual partner and look for other aviation traffic. In some Cessna's you will find issues with the seats which are all the way to the door and no room for the woman to put her knees, we recommend a pillow underneath your rear end to elevate you so she has the comfort she needs for decent ride as you both join the mile high club. This has only happened to me once, but it can happen, so be careful of that too. It is best to help her guide her feet back over. This article was written using my pen name and for educational and fictional purposes only.

Aluminum Cleaner for Aircraft Detailing by Alcoa
There are many choices for aircraft detailing when it comes to aviation uses. We thank Alcoa for licensing it's polish from it's state of the art, high tech Research and Development Group, to worthy distributors such as CLB Enterprises so it is available to our team and aviation enthusiasts at a low and fair price. Many might argue that Mother's Polish is the best for motorcycles and we have to agree Mother's is an excellent product, but when using large amounts to do large surfaces, there is a certain profit motivation with our team. Mother's Polishes of course are great also. Yet one of the best products we have ever found is Alcoa's Aluminum Polishes.

Airline Security; Stewardesses The Last Line Of Defense!
Dan currently acts as the International Director of the World Federation of Bodyguards and has a private business as a Security & Protection Consultant. This fact has repeatedly been proven by security inspections, where security agents, have boarded aircrafts with weapons and explosives etc. There is also the fact, that the Airlines often have little control over the actual Airport security and close to no-control at foreign Airports. In many foreign airports the airlines simply have to rely on the local security and the occasional inspections, by official institutions such as the FAA etc. This is a fact that is evident by the many cases of persons carrying weapons onboard aircrafts anyway.

Entering Business Aviation, Part I: Types of Aircraft
The jets that people fly in corporate aviation are usually a lot smaller than those found with the airlines. Lastly, Embraer has recently entered the business jet fray with their Legacy aircraft. Long a builder of regional jets, Embraer aircraft should start showing up increasingly as they are the low cost price leader in their category. Their newer aircraft will all have the Bombardier name, but in the meantime, the popular Challenger 604 and Global Express along with their 5000 model are some of the cabin class aircraft being flown today. Bombardier has several aircraft under the Challenger and Canadair moniker.

Young Men Trying to Imitate the 9-11 Scenario, Part III
We made airport restrictions on general aviation hurting the boy's chances to get another free airplane ride in now and again. I am not saying that Teen Challenge, DARE or any of another dozen programs are not totally worthy efforts both in our time spent and the results yielded. Only different in that they try harder or dream more. But I do point out here and forever that we are simultaneously rewarding those who act out and are not following the program. Those who go beyond what normal kids do and try to exceed the normal realm of their social structure.

China is Starting to Build Military Fighter Trainers
The JL-19 or FTC 2000 aircraft is a tandem two-seat, single engine jet fighter aircraft developed by Guizhou Aviation Industry. This would be one terrific little fighter plane to own for personal use and fly around as a sport plane too. And if you have the money, they would sell you one too. The JL-19 Mountain Eagle or the FTC-2000 it's NATO number will use the Chinese built WP-13 jet engine. Since it is both a fighter and trainer, some small countries, lacking a large fleet of fighter planes, could use the Mountain Eagle to train their fighter pilots in peace time, arming it for use as a fighter in war time.

Young Men Trying to Imitate the 9-11 Scenario, Part IV
We do not need any more rules in general aviation. Why don't they stick up for what is right here and say something? If it were not for our victories in the air in previous wars we would not be able to maintain our countries freedom. On a mission that most did not come back from. Do you honestly think they would vote for more laws in aviation? Certainly not, yet they are the ones who know about such, who are able to change policy. Are we to say that our Presidents experience could never have existed in today's times? The answer is YES, that is what we are saying.

Fighter Jet Trainers Sport Planes
Aviation Week had some interesting things to say about this project. Many countries still are not exactly feeling good about buying the Korean T-50s. The US is now taking delivery of Raytheon's T-6A Texan 2 has the security of U. Now as a matter of fact I talked to a training pilot in San Antonio who said they were getting their first ones in last June. Many Aerospace consultants in Europe believe this aircraft may take the lead around the world as the trainer of place.
