Traffic always goes down when the weather improves. You can't TALK about it all the time.HPNFlyGirl said:I think the wx is getting nicer and people are out flying more instead of being online all the time.

Scott, what do you teach re: scuba? Have you done any of the mixed gas diving? I was certified in the late 70's; all my diving in the last 10 years has been occasional recreational sightseeing diving in Cozumel, Mexico. I did a lot of abalone diving in San Diego in the 80s and 90s - none of it exceeded 90' or so. I haven't kept up on what's changed in the sport in the last 10 or more years...smigaldi said:Lets see instead of spending several hour surfing the net today I got up early and rode my bike to my weekend work where I taught scuba and then rode back. In a few moments I intend on taking out the roadster and driving with top down. Tomoorow mor eof the same, if I was not diving I would be flying. While I enjoy the company on POA I would rather be outside enjoying the world.
I shed a tear and stand in staid silence everytime I hear it. Growing up, I heard it most every day.igottafly said:Not much going on lately . I feel like taps are in order.

I'm intruiged by all the WWII dive site possibilities across the South Pacific, but I guess not to the point of learning wreck diving. Finished the book Shadow Divers a few months ago ... I get the shivers just reading about some of the close quarters those guys worked in. Guess I'm an open water diver at heart after all.

I dove on a Kate off of O'ahu. But not having the experience for wrecks I was very cautious, even though it was just a plane and not a wreck as complex as a ship. But then I had no problems diving in lava tubes, even free diving.gkainz said:I dove Hawaii and Philippines when I was in the Navy... lots of wrecks around the PI, but didn't have the training and wasn't up to learning on the fly, so to speak, so no wreck diving for me then.

flyingcheesehead said:Grant,
Any particular reason for choosing KMKE? I won't go there any more. $ignature is the only place on the field for GA, and you get nailed for $44 just for showing up. Both times I've been there I've gotten service ranging from mediocre to nonexistant (including being yelled at for not "registering" my plane when there had been nobody at the front desk when I arrived).
My comments on AirNav were a little less restrained than the above.

We only bought a few gallons of gas but they lent us the crew car, let us park out front, and lent us an office for a meeting all without any extra charges or trouble. MKE would be last on my list too when going to Milwaukee.
