Hi all,

Just learned to day, that if you enter the tail code of civialian or commercial aircraft into the google search box, It will list several pages of info on the aircraft, ( one of which is www.aircraftone.com )including the owners name and address. Pretty Cool!

Tail Numbers

Type in N757D for a BE-1900D. It's flying now, but I crashed it in Bethel, Alaska October 21st 2000. It has a weird malfunction in the Delco Steering and was not properly investigated. The nose wheel power steering decided (on it's own) to take a hard right turn after touchdown when I was attempting to make a left turn. The problem was duplicated in the hangar and the wiring apparatus showed wear and abrasion.

The NTSB has never concluded the exact cause of the accident and the plane is still flying passengers to this day. The NTSB only states that maybe my copilot enagaged the power steering at a higher than normal speed, but in the hangar in front of Raytheon technicians and the airline's chief pilot and maintenance director, with the 1900 on jacks....the nose wheel made an uncommanded right turn when engaged with an outside temperature of about 25 degrees. :?:

Odds are....it will happen again.

Here's a couple of tail numbers to type in for your search. N791FT, a former Flying Tigers DC-8 and was flown by me with Emery Worldwide colors (livery). Another is N867BX a Burlington Air Express DC-8. Both DC-8's are still flying and have several pictures on the net.

I sell a video with both DC-8's featured, called, "The Mighty DC-8 Stretch Jet." I like to share this video with other aviation fans/pilots worldwide since 2001. http://www.dc8.org/store/bertrand/videos.php

For those interested with receiving aviation communications, this video will show you our procedures while crossing the North Pacific and North Atlantic, using HF for position reporting. You can get great insight to your hobby of receiving, especially if you monitor ARINC on HF frequencies. The first person to purchase this video will receive a Jeppesen (out-of-date) Atlantic Orientation Chart which shows all VHF and HF frequencies for the entire Atlantic, with gateway entry intersections. You must email me with "The Radio Reference Forum" and will give the first person the chart and all others a nice discount, but remember to mention The Radio Reference Forum. I will post the first person's handle that ends up with the chart. From him/her you can request all the frequencies you want on both sides of the Atlantic. :D
