How did it go for your daughter, Stan? My sister works in Biomedical Research/Infectious Diseases at Tufts Vet in Grafton. Beautiful campus. Cheers, -Andrew

What he said. w/r/t to LTE, I am very concerned about international interop, especially before we have software-programmable LTE radios in phones. Cheers, -Andrew

Ballston has a ton of apartments, and it is pretty close to Arlington... Cheers, -Andrew

I'm in a discussion around the ethics of genetics and aeromedical issues. Currently, under FAA standards, does the holder of a Class I medical have to self-ground (or be grounded) upon the discovery of a genetic marker that indicates a 100% likelihood of adult onset of a debilitating disease...

Oh, and the 160th SOAR operates a OH-6 Little Bird that can hold 2 crew + four external crew + armaments. I don't know anything about the engine mods or particulars, but IIRC it is a common platform with the 500. Cheers, -Andrew

There's a second helo in that pic. See lower left corner, black line about 1/3rd of the way up. Two MD5xx, maybe?

Not to mention the level of experience required to ensure that the butter and dough roll out to the proper dimensions -- that's a monumental PITA to learn. I will say that his croissants made my stomach grumble! Cheers, -Andrew

One historical item of note -- the "Yellow Board", the predecessor to all things "web board" in these parts. AOPA's original webboard. Horrible software and you had to have thick skin and a Nomex firesuit to wade into Hangar Talk. But, in all reality, I get nostalgic for the old days...

Well, the Droid Pro / Droid 2 Global are dual-radioed. VZW / CDMA + EV-DO Rev A in the US, Vodafone GSM internationally. The Motorola Atrix coming from AT&T looks pretty nice... Cheers, -Andrew

Isn't the F-16 one of the few military aircraft to be inherently aerodynamically unstable? Or maybe it is just less stable than it's brethren -- I remember reading something on the tradeoff between high speed maneuvering and low speed stability or similar, and General Dynamics opted for the...

Motorola Droid Pro. Answers every thing you'd like about a smartphone, with BlackBerry-style features (really nice physical keyboard). Cheers, -Andrew

I thought James Fallows was still writing for the Atlantic. Sigh.

The future is brighter with Android. Cheers, -Andrew

Good pickup Harry! Although N-S isn't in the LTE biz with VZW (Alcatel-Lucent has the rollout, along with Samsung; and the big hubaloo in the chip world is Qualcomm's tri-mode CDMA/W-CDMA/LTE chipset) Cheers, -Andrew
