    I apparently have no way to convert .wav to .mp3 which would get it down some more. As to how, I have a video package that makes Windows Movie Maker look like Notepad. But in addition to the video production functions, it has a plethora of capture, input and output functions (output audio...

    Online airport info

    The AOPA kneeboard format has everything except the NOTAMS and hazards. I print it on a standard sheet and make those notes as needed during briefing. If the airport has a taxiway diagram, I print that on the back of the kneeboard sheet.

    Tips

    baggage door key and airplane key are on the same ring. If the tow bar is out of the baggage compartment, the key is in the baggage door. This serves 2 purposes: 1. If I don't have the key when I go to start, double check where the towbar is. 2. If I am moving the prop (it always stops vertical)...

    Hell of a drop off

    Been there in 2002 and lived to tell about it. I was a lot lower in hours then (200) and nervous from the tales I had heard. Deliberately landed a little long. No problem! Was a good airport to visit back then, but we've never been back.

    Bye Bye PC, I've had it!!!

    I agree with Ed, only had a couple of script type viruses, never had a crippling virus. Had one at one company I worked at but it was eradicated in hours. And I'm only reasonably careful.

    Weight And Balance Problem For The CFI Written

    Oops, I didn't see the plank weight. That complicates the simple solution. 2/3 of the plank is to the right of the fulcrum, Meaning you need less than twice the distance on the weights.

    Weight And Balance Problem For The CFI Written

    So go watch the unified volleyball competition a while. Team Texas is doing well according to Sandra's report last night.

    2010 Citation Special Olympics Airlift

    Sandra is there with her volleyball team (Team Texas). She and some of the members went commercial, due to availability problems, but several of them went Cessna. Roger, if you are in the volleyball venue, look her up.

    No, he's saying that it was a premium beer through the 60s. During that time, I preferred it to Bud.
