    JPG to PDF

    And even GIF, but neither scales. So if it's not perfectly sized to begin with, it will lose quality when resized.

    JPG to PDF

    Since you brought up quality, I'll complicate things by saying both JPG and PDF are not the best way to do "Logos". Because of the compression in JPG, it's possible that you will lose sharpness. And, it won't scale up or down without losing quality. And it doesn't have the ability to have a...

    [NA]Yaesu handheld capabilities[NA]

    Different frequency ranges. Pick up a scanner, or maybe one of those crazy-cheap BaoFeng handhelds (Amazon). They have dual-band units down as low as $20ish (BaoFeng-UV-5R).

    Guaymas Mexico trip - Baja Bush Pilots

    'definitely will be hot, somewhat mitigated by being on the ocean, but humidity will determine comfort. Luckily, most activities are water/boat related.... or drinking/eating in AC'd places. My biggest worry... that 3 hour midday flight back to Phoenix, across the desert. Could be bumpy.

    Guaymas Mexico trip - Baja Bush Pilots

    This trip sounds like fun, for first-timers or seasoned Mexico flyers. We've done several trips with the Baja Bush Pilots and hope to join them again on this trip. It's not unusual for 40-65 aircraft to participate! Aug 9-13 (wed-Sun). Guaymas is a beautiful coastal area, with incredible...

    Deer Valley to Lake Havasu City

    'Just did a KDVT (Deer Valley) to KIFP (Laughlin/Bullhead) trip last weekend. Great trip. In spite of around 105 degree weather, both ways were silky smooth, because we flew at 8am. MOAs were not an issue... over at 4,500 and back at 5,500. Our route was Wickenburg, Alamo lake, and then...

    Anybody know of a good online aviation radius map?

    Use Distance Rings on Foreflight? Or, in WingX, just move the map and it always displays the distance between your location and the cursor.

    Who has a drone?

    OK, Necro post time... I've had a couple of smaller drones and played with friends DJI's, but never felt compelled to buy one. Just too expensive, big, and complicated. That just changed for me. The new DJI Spark is a VERY capable video drone, that is much smaller, less expensive, and simpler...

    KSEZ - Sedona

    Sound like a great trip!... Another really fun thing to do in Sedona is the Segway tour. There are several different options, all fun. Sometimes there are Groupons, that make it cheaper. Last time, we took the "sunset" tour. https://www.sedonasegway.com/

    Experiences with the FAA?

    Just Google "FAA employee salaries".... it's everywhere, including the FAA site. According to Federalpay.org: "The Federal Aviation Administration had 45,521 employees in 2015 with an average pay (base salary + bonus) of $112,441.24. The most common occupation was air traffic control, followed...

    Experiences with the FAA?

    My problem with the FAA is the incredible bureaucracy. By and large the people are nice enough, but they are just inefficient. When calling the FAA, I've never seen so many layers of people, and the average salary is $112K. They proudly resist changes that would benefit aviation, and their...

    Tiredness after Flying

    I'd say it's normal. After a good long flight, I can take a great nap! Even more so if you're learning and flying. Flying is fun, but your body and mind know it's serious business. You are thinking continuously, and moving muscles not often exercised. Take care of your body, but the mental...

    [NA]WannaCry/EternalBlue[NA]

    I wasn't impugning POP, per se, but companies that give you "free" email accounts, like your normal Internet service providers (cox,comcast,centurylink, etc). Or the email that typically comes with your domain name and hosting. All of them usually give you crappy, ancient, un-filtered email...
