I had the same problem. I could get them to turn over, but they wouldn't fire. I checked to make sure the mixture was set correctly for the field altitude. (that wasn't the problem).
Then I noticed that the left and right main tanks were empty.
Problem solved.

We have the Wii Fit but haven't taken it out of the box yet.
The lady from my church who needed 2 Wii's for Christmas presents, got them today at Gamestop in Latrobe. They got 5 in today.

I noticed 2-737's left Latrobe on Monday heading to Biloxi-Gulfport MS
Flight #'s were
SPA712
TRS8253
First I thought they were taking gamblers to Mississippi casinos.
Wrong. They were taking local National Guard troops for training. They will be deployed to Iraq in about a year.
The troops were from the local guard at Mt Pleasant PA and Torrance PA (near Blairsville)
The Torrance guard had a prayer service on Sunday Afternoon at the Derry Area high school. On Monday morning as the buses pulled out, there were citizens at two key locations in Derry Twp to wave American flags as the troops passed. I wish I had known in advance, I would have been there.
Joe Biden is due to speak at Greensburg-Salem high school tommorrow at 10:30am and then head to Wilkes-Barre PA
So I may get some shots of his aircraft. The wind has been favoring RW 5 at KLBE today so he may fly over the house.

Wii's are still in short supply. You can pay a premium on ebay and get one for about $320.00 or buy a bundle. (gamestop has a bundle with wi play (includes an extra controller) a twin station remote recharger with batteries for $349.00
Otherwise keep calling the store and you might luck out and get there in time on the day they come in.
Best Buy in Greensburg PA will have some at 2pm tommorrow. I bet they have a line of people when they open.
I've heard some negatives about Woods '09 (putting in particular).
I was really impressed with the Ryder Cup. Very exciting TV.

I've done some searching an come up with the following.
N62773 is registered with the FAA as a 1976 Piper PA-23-250 flight aware said that Angel Flight 773 was a PA-27
N9103V is a 1969 Mooney M-20 Turbo. It is the plane flying today as Angel Flight 3V After arriving at KLUK it filed a plan as N9103V to return to 6G1

NGF3V a Mooney arrived before noon from 6G1 Titusville PA NGF773 a Piper Aztec arrived at 12:08 from KBLM Monmouth NJ
They both had flight plans to leave at 12:10, but they must have decided to refuel or have lunch first.
NGF3V departed to KLUK Cincinnati OH NGF773 returned to KBLM Monmouth NJ
My theory is that they were part of a multi plane flight transporting a passenger from Monmouth NJ to Cincinnati OH.
I could be wrong, Latrobe Area Hospital has some fine facilities that were a result of contributions from Fred Rogers and Arnold Palmer.

Congratulations Ed and Nicole.
I think the Alaska Journey will have to wait until the Mrs is totally retired, and we could spend several months on it.
Today, the price of gas at Fort Nelson is close to $6.00 a gallon. I think its 1.57 per litre.
As for changing a tire Tom, No I'm not ready for that, and never will be.
But I'm up for having AAA or CAA do it.

At about 4pm on 09-10-08 a blimp passed very low over our house. It was crossing underneath the RW 23 approach for KLBE and once clear than pointed its nose up and climbed a bit. The sun was directly behind it so I couldn't get a picture. So we headed for KLBE and got one bad shot while enroute. www.billvons.com/gasbuddys/without thumbs/9-10-08_blimp.jpg[/img] When we arrived at the airport there wasn't any sign of the blimp. We got a shot of a Pennsylvania Police Caravan taxiing out to take off on RW 5 www.billvons.com/gasbuddys/without thumbs/9-10-08_PA_State_Police.jpg[/img] Then a shot of the Caravan climbing out, with our condo association in the distance. (It is about 5 miles away) www.billvons.com/gasbuddys/without thumbs/9-10-08-house.jpg[/img] Then we left, only to find out that John McCains "Straight Talk Express" landed a few minutes later. Today I will attempt to get a picture of it, from the house, as it departs KLBE after McCain's visit to the flight 93 memorial.

I just changed your email address in the auto-pirep system.
This is a function that only an administrator can do.
Anyone that has a similar problem, leave me a message containing your pilot ID and your new email address.

For those in the dark about the teamspeak protocol:
The channels should not be used to chat. If you want to chat, use the Bluegrass "Pilots Lounge" channel which is set aside for that purpose.
