FAA declares NOTAM now means:
Notice To Air Missions.
Sigh....
It'll be a generation before anyone stops thinking 'Notice to Airmen' when they read 'NOTAM'.

Could have been NOTAMWLGTBQ!!!I certainly hope when those missions finish reading their notices they’ll tell us pilots about them.
This is assuming airplanes require pilots to fly in 2050. The NOTAMs may then be renamed to something like NOTAD (NOtice To Air Drones).It'll be a generation before anyone stops thinking 'Notice to Airmen' when they read 'NOTAM'.
I qualify as "older" and I do.I qua;ify as "oldeTry to find an older guy that calls them Commemorative!

It's like when Confederate Air Force decided to change their name and had to find a word that started with C so they could still be the CAF. Try to find an older guy that calls them Commemorative!
The biggest issue when the vote was held was the fact that the old name was causing corporate donations to dry up.To be fair, when I first heard of the Confederate Air Force, I had no idea what exactly they did, or why they would name themselves that. Apparently it actually started off as an inside joke more than anything else. I always thought the name change to Commemorative Air Force just made sense on so many levels, not the least of which that now the name actually reflects what they do.

No arguments, but I never hear the word Commemorative, only CAF or Confederate. I do live in the South though!The biggest issue when the vote was held was the fact that the old name was causing corporate donations to dry up.

Danger! Collision of fantasy universes. Take cover!!Han Solo's E6B uses parsecs as a unit of time.

Wow, I never noticed that!Spock is confused by Jim's "one to the fourth power" amplification explanation (start at :50):
Gotta calculate for that solar wind correction.
Wow, I never noticed that!
