    “Approved” to land long

    I regularly ask if we are using 36 since the hangars at at the north end of 12000 and 10000 ft runways. Most of the times they will approve but once in a while they say they have traffic behind me and I need to get down and out of the way.

    To mask or not to mask?

    I (partially) read a study that said COVID patients stated they had a loss of taste/smell more frequently than an elevated temperature prior to onset of other symptoms. Would it make sense to have several flavored aerosols and spray them in the air and ask patrons what they smell before...
