    ATC folks, your job is about to be outsourced...

    Wow. A dozen planes a day. In this country those are called "uncontrolled airports."

    The Spin Zone

    Yet nothing really changed since Greebo posted the first post in this thread. Bad players exist everywhere, and they existed in 2007 when I joined this board.

    200 mph!

    I just watched an interview by Greta Van Susteren with USAF Capt. Chase Allen who flew his C-130 into this storm. He said the eye was only 7 miles in diameter, when the normal eye is 30 miles wide. He then waddled off the set while supporting his giant 12 pound brass balls. JK

    Colon Cancer - Quick Question

    I'm glad you said that. My dad died of colon cancer, and I've had to have colonoscopies since age 40. The cleansing is awful. Bet it's better than the alternative. OP, don't let your wife put off a colonoscopy if her doctors concur that she should have one.

    When dreams come true... (long)

    Just now? You've got a lot of reading to do, Ben! This weekend sit down with a nice glass of bourbon and read this thread. By Monday you will be smashing you cello on your department chair's desk and telling him you're going to be changing professions and want to become an airline pilot. It's...

    Single over water?

    That's been my thoughts. Jump in the lake in August - it will send your testicles northhwards.

    DOT Will Require ALL Hobby Drones to be Registered

    I could care less about the small things that stay outside of airspace used by manned aircraft. The problems come where drones are showing up at pattern altitude or higher, especially in or near airports. We are licensed pilots, and part of our responsibility is to see and avoid. That works...

    I stood my ground.....

    Good job, David. I think the line guy needs some education. I wouldn't hesitate to let him know the dangers of frost or ice on the wings.

    When dreams come true... (long)

    I was talking on Saturday to an ATP that commutes from Milwaukee to his base in Boston. On Saturday he said he got up at 0400 at his crash pad to get a cab to Logan to fly to O'Hare to get a bus from ORD to MKE to get his car at MKE and drive to our CAF Wing meeting at KUES at 1030. Brutal...

    Do you park (your car) backwards?

    Bingo. I do the same thing. And to answer the OPs question, I sense more and more people are backing in to spots now with the popularity of rear-view cameras.
