I am making a concerted effort to get the age and number of unread messages in my personal inbox down to a reasonable number...
One of today's focuses is on emails I have sent to myself with various flying related web sites.
The first one I opened revealed an absolute gem: http://www.av8n.com/how/, the home of the online book "See How It Flies, A new spin on the perceptions, procedures, and principles of flight" by John S. Denker. This is an absolutely fantastic resource on the "how" of flying an airplane, and has information that is pertinent to experienced pilots as well as student pilots.
The second "find" was http://adds.aviationweather.gov/, NOAA's National Weather Service - Aviation Weather Center - Aviation Digital Data Service (ADDS) which offers a wealth of avaiation related weather information.
The third email had yet another really good site focused on pilot training - this one more student oriented, but still full of good review topics for the experienced pilot: http://www.ufly.com/lessons/. One of my favorite sections is the one of Dutch Rolls.
The forth site is http://www.airbum.com/, which seems to have a bit of everything for the aviation enthusiast.
Another interesting couple of sites in a later covey of messages were http://www.aeroplanner.com/compare/index.cfm which offers basic online flight planning as well as fee based advanced tools and options and http://www.noticetoairmen.com/links.htm which offers a number of links to other online pilot resources.
The final pick for today is a compendium of pilot related material brought to us by our friends at the FAA:
