You may remove the @ before fopen which supresses error and see exact error 
it prints out.
But if your allow_url_fopen is set to off you don't have much options as it 
seems that this parameter cannot be set from ini_set or from .htaccess file 
but only from php.ini file for security reasons.

Alternative is to use curl to open remote content.

<?php
function get_data($url)
{
  $ch = curl_init();
  $timeout = 5;
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
  $data = curl_exec($ch);
  curl_close($ch);
  return $data;
}
$output = 
@htmlspecialchars(get_data(http://www.corporateairamerica.com/logbooks/CAA001/CAA00120110826160800.txt'));echo("$output<br 
/>");?>
