Again, welcome to the board from another beer snob and appreciator of Belgian Trappist Ales. You're right - these 1000+ year old recipes do provide many complexities of flavor that you just don't get with some other beers. What I find interesting is the differences in the flavors as you let...

Nice job!

Just a matter of happening to sign on at the right time.

It works as an in-flight reference to check the sectional and to look up the airport info. The Airport Directory it downloads is the same info as in the AOPA A/FD app that you can get for free from them if you're an AOPA member. I used it this last weekend to find the CTAF at KSEP and find the...

I've listened to all of the episodes - it's a good show!

Right - it is marketed as a 'preflight intelligence' tool. To help you with flight planning and used as a reference in flight - not a primary method of navigation. Like I said, I used it in the plane this weekend in lieu of the paper sectionals (which we did have on board as a backup). It...

Jay, I'd love to come down, but unfortunately the third Saturday of the month is when we have the Wings & Wheels fly-ins at The 1940 Air Terminal Museum. Hopefully I'll be able to catch the next fly-in you have!

You went to GLS, but didn't make the 30nm trip NW to HOU to visit my museum too? :nono: You could even drop off some brochures by our place that we'll put on display for you! The Moody Gardens Hotel restaurant is pretty good. I had their Sunday brunch buffet at the end of April when my better...

Very nice! Congratulations!

I was thinking of Fayette County, TX! I had a great flight this weekend too - we took the museum's raffle plane up to Ranger, TX for a fly-in. Check out the trip report on the museum's blog complete with pics: http://www.1940airterminal.org/blog/?p=430 I think that this one really...

I use ForeFlight on my 2nd Gen iPod Touch and have had minimal problems with it. I do have the occasional app crash, but I attribute that to the fact that I chose to download the VFR and IFR charts and approach plates for the entire country (pure speculation that this is the cause). It is fast...

Tropicbird is pretty expensive. Does anyone have any experience with this outfit? http://hawaiiflightadventure.com/courses.aspx

Done it many times. No issues, surprisingly enough. Nice to have the ANR's in-flight too.

Holy thread resurrection, Batman! So I'm heading to Hawaii with the fiancee and another couple in just under 2 weeks. I'd like to get some flying in while I'm out there. We'll be in Kona for the bulk of the trip, and in Honolulu for the last couple of days. Ghery, I see where you flew out...

No worries Kent, I'll catch you next time. Thanks to everyone for coming out - it was a great time!

Ha! I knew that would get some people! :) I'm not sure that I'll make the 5:23p train, but if I miss that one I'll catch the next one. Grant, I got your PM, thank you very much and I'll be in touch to let you know which train I made it on. See you guys tonight!

Nope, client visit. Apparently, either people are not available or a trek into the city is not desirable. So, how about this? I can get myself to the Roselle or Schaumberg Metra station (your choice) if one of you all can pick me up and we can go to Pilot Pete's. Does that work better for...

I'm staying at the Hotel Affinia - near the corner of Michigan & Chicago. Hope your back feels better!

Hey Guys, I'm coming back again! Who's up for dinner/hangar flying on Tuesday evening? I'll actually be staying in the city this time and won't have a car, so I don't know about getting to Pilot Pete's, but I'd love suggestions for other places! I have been dying to try Frontera...

The reactions here in Houston are largely negative, for a number of reasons: 1) We stand to lose a MAJOR employer in Houston (the 4th-largest). Granted, the jobs are likely safe for the near- and mid-term, but ALL of the corporate jobs will either be gone altogether or shipped to Chicago...
