What is this one? And this one? And this one? And I very badly want this one! I wouldn't have even had to have looked at the screen name to know who posted these with all the pictures of the telecom equipment. :rofl:

Inbound to Morristown, NJ late last night; about 200 miles out - Cleveland Center to me: Descend maintain 14,000. Me: Umm...any chance we can get that at pilot's discretion? We're a little tight on gas. ZOB: No, sorry, I need you to start down now and you can plan <some fix> at 8,000...

I LOVE the Ted Talks! I really want to go to one. There's one on Netflix that is all their humorous speakers from over the years...incredible! It's some of the smartest, funniest, and wittiest stuff I've ever seen. "Would you look at that! A Starbucks! I think it's time, for a cup of joe."...

Oh yeah, and Clarkson got to fly an Eagle.

Well while you're at it, Kim, you should probably just start at 1x01 and work your way up. :goofy: It's only 18 seasons, with 6-7 episodes per season. If you don't sleep or work you could have them all done by the end of the weekend! Other must view Top Gears: Series 4, Ep. 1 (Exige vs...

Yes it is. Series 13, episode 3 on the BBC version. Block came back on TG on series 5, ep 1...with slightly different results. If you're familiar with TG and their relationship with the Reliant Robin, you can guess how it ends...

I think that first shot in the video Kim posted, with him driving across the bridge, is probably a personal record for Block - longest distance he's ever driven a car in a straight line. I know it's been posted on here before, but to help make this thread somewhat aviation related, here's...

Didn't end up doing it. We took him out of the pram, expecting him to wake up...nope. He was out cold. So we'll have to defile the Frankenkota next time, I guess. As always it was great to see everyone! Thanks, all, for the lunch and wonderful company.

As luck would have it, SO FAR I'm not flying today! Is the plan still 1:00, then? The wife and I will try to stop out, so long as I don't get a call. What can we bring?

I tell ya, aviation is a tiny world! I knew Brad left (he's much smarter than the rest of us, going for ATC!!!), but I didn't know Dale was gone. He was...a character. He was always nice to us. Is Scott the mechanic still there? He was a trip! I'm sure he can tell you some great stories...

I was there 07-09(ish). Andy is a good friend of mine, too, actually! I got to know Brad and Dale while I was there, but it seemed like Laskey was always working when I was. Especially in the most miserable weather! Then again, I think Andy pretty much lived on the sofa at MIF, so I guess he was...

Sounds like the normal anti-airport-for-the-sake-of-hating-something diatribe. I can't see that airport going anywhere any time soon, though. Between the rich people coming in for summer camp, MIF, and the local government, I think that airport is pretty safe. Especially now that the risk of...

Yeahhhh, should do. I keep forgetting. I'll get around to it today...in theory. :) The hump could be an issue for us in Beech 1900s! I don't think it ever kept us from going entirely, but there were several times that we were weight restricted if 17 was the only option. The other problem we...

Interesting, I didn't even know it was closed. I wonder why they narrowed it? Seems... unnecessary. It definitely needed the resurfacing, though. The picture they have next to the article certainly doesn't make it look like they eased the grading problem any! Besides, what's the fun of shooting...

Tomorrow (Sat the 30th) from 6am-1pm. Anyone going? The wife and I are going to try to get out there, so long as baby is in a good mood. http://jeffco.us/airport/airport_T38_R71.htm

I work the 3rd through the 10th. Any time that isn't that week, I'm game. And if y'all get together without me, Clark can tell you some funny stories about me trying to wrap my head around the concept of 70kts. :rofl::hairraise:

Nice Bob, that's awesome! Where do they have those sims? I got to watch the 787 at BFI several months ago. Beautiful plane.

I thought at least four of them would involve the lav and the burrito place in the LGA Airways terminal (or Famiglia in any terminal).

Lots of water, a really good camera, and an even better poncho. Oh and very comfortable walking shoes. And water. When I went I had a camel pack backpack with an easily accessible poncho, spare batteries (and film, which tells you how long ago it was), and a change of socks - it does rain...

I'm game. When and where? Do you have my number?
