    Laminating a Pilot Certificate

    I've found that with some of my cards (think insurance card, work ID card, ect), when exposed to heat and wear, and after being in one of those plastic faced card holders, that the ink will wear or stick to the plastic card holder on the rare occasions I have to take it out. To solve this...

    Delta Airlines Lost and Found in the News

    Apparently a boy left a valuable memento of his deceased father on a Delta aircraft and didn't realize it until after leaving the airport. A close family friend called customer service and they were able to track down the item, one of his father's shirts, and return it to the boy. I'm sure it...

    Caption This

    How about this as a caption: "I'm going to start a thread and post a picture, then watch to see how long it takes before the guys around here start arguing about something completely unrelated to the original intent of the thread!!" Oh, wait, that is just like every other thread.... :rofl...

    Support for Flying Club POA Topic

    I've been curious as to why it seems that there are substantially more flying clubs in the north east and midwest. Yet I can't seem to find any locally and, comparatively, very few regionally in the south east. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places or asking the right questions, but...

    I WON!!!

    I'm very sorry for your loss, Josh. It must be heartbreaking to forfeit that great prize package but rules are rules, and you broke 'em.... specifically Part 2 Paragraph 1 which states: NO PICS, DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!!!

    Dumbphone, Android phone, prepaid service, which ones?

    Look at Straight Talk Wireless. I have heard a lot of good things about them. They have a $50 unlimited or $30 for 1000 minutes, 1000 texts, and 30 MB data. The $30 plans looks like it may work for Mom. If she needs more minutes for the month she just re-ups the $30 early.

    Red Bull Stratos

    I think he would have beat the free fall duration record if it wasnt for the face shield heat issue causing his mask to fog. I bet he was sweating bullets not being able to see anything or measure the time he'd been falling, but knowing the ground is coming fast.

    Red Bull Stratos

    Looks like he fell short of the longest freefall record and it looks like he hit about 729 mph so just short of Mach 1 (still waiting for official speed calc). But did set record for highest manned balloon flight and and highest parachute jump. And best of all a safe and uneventful landing...

    The mission is launched. If successful, Felix will be the first person to break the sound barrier without the use of an airplane. Currently at 30,000 feet and climbing. God speed, Felix.

    Skydivers Land @ Sub Base

    Yes, federal grant money is involved in both airports. I understand that there needs to be extra safety involved when dodging the meat missiles. However, for an airport that has no other business, and was only recently reopened after being closed for several YEARS while the runway was repaved...
