    Thought you'd all be interested to know...

    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. :)

    Thought you'd all be interested to know...

    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...

    Thought you'd all be interested to know...

    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...

    Gaston's 2008 statistics

    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.

    Gaston's is requesting feedback

    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...

    Any good websites for learning about different types of airplanes?

    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...

    Any good websites for LSAs?

    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...

    Gaston's is requesting feedback

    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... :)

    What do you do for a living?

    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...

    Is a Commercial Airline Pilot a good profession nowadays?

    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...

    A BIG Thank You

    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...

    Gaston's VI 2009 Attendance

    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 :)

    I hope you all had fun!

    Am I sensing a little bit of Gaston's romance? Its cause of guys like you Felix, that I don't get dates. With the German accent, its totally unfair! :) LOL JK

    I hope you all had fun!

    Yeah. I go down there for free soda, and sometimes I have to wait a while. I don't know where he goes, either :) There's a lot of stuff that happens down in that restaurant that doesn't make sense to me (I'm not a restaurant kind of guy, lol). And I'm gonna rub something in on you guys. You...

    2008 Gastie Award Winners

    I wouldn't feel bad about the fire. It happens. I work there at Gaston's (hello), and we've had cottages BURN DOWN because of fires. Just within the last 4 months, we had one cottage that had to totally be redone on the inside because someone stuffed wood in the fireplace so high, they were...

    What do you do for a living?

    Make that a third of what I make in a year... I know, I know. I get what y'all are saying. And Spike (can I call you Spike?), that's some great advice, and a perspective I hadn't really thought of. I've never been in a situation where I had more money than time (right now its definitely more...
