	Women in Aviation: Timeline
		Famous aviator Ruth Nichols' attempt to cross the Atlantic on a solo flight was unsuccessful.
		Hanna Reitsch, the only woman on a German research expedition to study thermal conditions in South America, was the first female to be awarded the Silver Soaring Medal when she made a long distance flight over Argentina.
		Reitsch was often the only woman in her male classed at an aviation institute, where she developed and tested various aviation devices.

	SumpThis: General Aviation Timeline
		This timeline begins in the year 1975 with the introduction of making sump drain valves standard on new Cessna single-engine aircraft models.
		Side Note: Articles and experiments referenced on the timeline refer to different types of fuel tanks; however, it is sump drains and preflight inspection procedures that are of interest because these items are common to all of the tanks discussed.
		The May 1983 issue of Aviation Safety, Volume 3, Number 5 documents Rodney Gross's experiences with water contamination in a rubber bladder tank equipped Cessna 182K that occurred in the year 1978.

	SumpThis, General Aviation
		For years, in general aviation, sump drains, moving aircraft wings, dipping an aircraft's tail and taking fuel samples during preflight inspections have been the means for positive detection, but as material on the SumpThis web-site indicates, these means are unreliable and affect safety of flight.
		Yet, thousands of general aviation flights are made based on fuel samples that do not reveal contamination, and many aircraft accidents in general aviation are unexplained.
		If you are involved in general aviation, or if you are a person over whom aircraft fly, please proceed to the timeline.

	Palm Aviation
		Now, with hundreds of handheld aviation applications on the market it is common to see pilots connecting a GPS receiver to their handheld for a moving map, doing flight planning, viewing airport information, storing flight time, reading regulations, downloading weather (on the ground or in-flight), and the list goes on.
		As an aviator in the Navy, there are a variety of items that I use, but most significant is the entire Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) manual for the E-2C Plus Aircraft that I have on an SD card.
		While all aviators carry a Pocket Checklist (PCL) with them when they fly, a NATOPS manual is simply too large and heavy to carry with you on a flight--not so with my Palm Powered handheld.

	The History of Commercial Aviation - Concorde
		France and Britain hoped to take the lead in aviation with the introduction of its superonic jet, the Concorde.
		By the end of the 1950s, Britain's huge lead in commercial jets evaporated once the de Havilland Comets were grounded.
		In the 1960s, when supersonic flight seemed to be the last unconquered frontier of commercial aviation, nearly all major carriers lined up to take delivery of the Concorde.
