I was at a Ninety-Nines luncheon last week, and we were talking about our latest experience in the Bonanza on the field. Many around the table had either currently/previously owned, or flown one during their flying times, and one person said, "Everybody flies a Bonanza at some point." Which...

My company has installed a 'softphone' feature on our laptops, so we can make and accept calls, etc. over the internet when we're working remotely and VPN'ed in. Many of my colleagues and I have noticed tha tthe call quality is less than desired, notably due to the 'stuttering/echoing effect'...

A debut at my sister's recent cookie exchange.... where the cookies are good, but it's all about the display..... Introducing Cookie Regional Airport (COKI); I had fun building this, and Grant did an excellent job on the hold short lines :D

... or at least a Neo-Pagan..... (note: this post isn't meant to offend anyone, my apologies if it does) In an interesting discussion of differences in religions this evening, I naively entered "what religion should I be?" on Google. The first link took me to...

Looking for some advice from my fellow POAers on one of my favorite non-aviation topics - dining! :) Our company is having its large annual member conference in Atlanta at the end of September. I will be one of the staff attending, which means long days on one's feet answering questions...

Troy is 'On The Air' at IFR, March issue! "Here we go......" Funny entry.. ('On The Air' is the humor section of IFR magazine) Leslie

Need some input from the techies in the room.... I've been volunteered to assist with putting together some pre-recorded music for our company's awards ceremony. For the closing act, we want to use a broadway show tune, but have employees sing the tune with recorded music in the background...

OK, so I had too much fun at Gastons... I'm putting together a Poker Run for the Ninety-Nines Chicago Area Chapter flying event this fall. You do not have to be a 99 to participate; I'm more interested in getting folks up and enjoying the skies. Confirming airports at this time, but so far...

Well, I know I don't post much here, but I consider many of you friends (you should see my "friends" list :)), so I wanted to let you know that I'm in hospital right now. Started experiencing acute abdominal pain Saturday morning, and as of this evening they still haven't reached a diagnosis...

Morning, all. Saw this in AvWeb today - in case you're not able to hop across the Really Big Pond, this sounds like great viewing - little bit of everything: http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/1018-full.html#196790 In case the news link doesn't work, here's a connection to the...

Nick: this one's for you.... http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N5105N ConUS claim is pending. While I called the tower chief earlier in the day to let them know of our plans, I think we still managed to provide some entertainment value in an otherwise calm evening. From Approach (who...

FYI, AOPA has posted the collage of photos they were requesting from A Day in the Life of America's Airports. For those that remember, the day selected was May 19 - our Wings Fly-B-Q. We've got some POA'ers who made the photo submission cut - congrats and great work! to check it out...

Muncie doesn't look too good for Saturday, so Grant and I are planning on Cape Girardeau, MO instead. Heard good things about the FBO, and we should be able to get a ride to Lambert's, home of the 'throwed rolls'. Thinking of landing somewhere between 11:30 and noon, if anyone would like to...

For a while, I've toyed with the idea of getting into astronomy as a hobby. I'm just starting to learn more, and have yet to purchase a telescope; research on that topic continues. I would like to purchase a scope that is somewhat portable, so I can occasionally take it out to sites with less...

Hi, all. Haven't posted in a while; things have been pretty stressful with work and flying. But I haven't gone away completely.... I'm on the path. The IR checkride is scheduled for saturday morning. Just finished the last flight with the instructor today, we'll do paperwork and tabbing of...
