No videos, but Jim is downloading the photographs sometime in the next few days, and I asked him to get me some 800x600 shots of her. I wish you all were here to see it. It was a hold-your-breath experience. :)

I'll see what I can do. My camera is too cumbersome to carry around with me, and I didn't know it was going to be here till I got here. But other people (including Jim) took some shots so I'll see what I can get. He backed it up into the drive all the way over by the tennis courts to get...

Just thought you'd all be interested to know that a DC-3 (yes, a DC-3), just took off of 3M0. It was quite the exciting moment seeing it barely clear the trees at the end of the resort. I haven't been on here in a while, but I thought I'd share this fun info with you guys. I hope you all...

Is the modified Cessna 190 what you're calling the 195? Cause if not, I saw one of those (I never miss a radial) :) I'm not questioning your intelligence as much as I am just curious. I figure that's what you mean, though, cause I didn't see anything like her (the 192.5 :) ) on the field.

That sucks, man. I don't blame you, but I hate to hear that. Since I work there, I could get into a discussion with you about why things are done a certain way, but the truth of the matter is it wouldn't do any good. You'd still be out money and the policy would still be the same. That's not...

I love to learn, and I see a lot of planes that fly in to where I work, and I don't know what some of them are (I can tell the Cessnas apart, but others start to confuse me). Anywho, are there any websites that are a really good database for the different types of planes out there? I posted a...

I was talking to a guy, and he was saying he owns an LSA that is only a one-seater. He bought it cause it flies really slow, and I think he said it has a stall speed of something like 35 knots... Anywho, I can't remember what sort of plane it was, and I had other questions as well. Are there...

My family makes fun of me cause I say, "soda." They say, "where are you from cause around here its a pop!" But my grandmother is from Europe, and she was my babysitter when I was young. That's the only thing I can think of... :)

85m! Woot woot! And that was with TWO loop de loops!

This is wonderful advice. I'm a young pup, and I have a lot to learn, but I keep my ears (or in this case eyes) open, and I get great advice like this. I'm a very passive person, and this works against me a lot, too. But the other day, someone told me if you want something you have to REALLY...

Tell them to give that guy Jason behind the front desk counter a raise... Please? :) JK

Congratulations!

No apologies needed. I figure any career that doubles as a hobby is difficult to get into. I just had NO CLUE, that's all. Besides, I am of the mindset that a hobby should be kept a hobby and a job a job. Otherwise the lines of work and play start blurring, and everything seems like work...

I remember last year 2007, you told me you were using a rented plane. Yet someone referred to that as your Bo. Did you purchase a plane in the last year, sir? Also, I don't want to sound like a weirdo for remembering our conversation from 12 months ago. I have a really good memory like that...

I think that's when the Y(a)k-Pack flies in. Unless you're prepared to do aerobatics with a group of radial-engined Soviet trainers, you'd probably better reschedule :)
