    Oh hell no...

    I work as a bank Chief Compliance Officer. Years ago, when the privacy rules first required that banks must prepare a privacy policy statement and provide it to customers, I argued that our privacy statement should just be two short sentences: "There is no privacy. Get over it."

    What I learned on my beach vacation

    Ipad mini window mount

    For me, the advantage is having the iPad level with the rest of the panel. I found with yoke mount or lap, every time I'd look down to see the iPad, I was steering off course. With it level with the panel, I don't have that issue. I have not had any issues with the suction mount failing so...

    Ipad mini window mount

    I use one in a Beech Musketeer on the far left corner of the windshield (which is really off to just left of the panel). I use the standard length arm. No issues.

    1st Time Camping at SNF - What essential to bring?

    Thanks, found it and used it. So we flew in on Wed, out on Sat. Didn't find that I had anything that I really regretted not bringing. Had a couple of things I did bring that I didn't use. Bugs were not a problem - there was a good breeze the whole time we were there and I think that kept...

    We were among those leaving on Saturday. Definitely the right call as yesterday was miserable back home in central Georgia. We had arrived on Wednesday, so we still had plenty of time to see all we wanted to see. The crowds were pretty light on Wed and Thur - had plenty of time to talk to...

    Camping with the plane for the 1st time at SNF. We will be in vintage aircraft camping area. Coming on Wed and leaving on Sat. Does anyone know if there is ice available and affordable to restock the cooler? I would presume there is since there are so many recommendations to bring beer.
