  FOR PILOTS Pilots: People who drive airplanes for other people who can't fly. Fighter Pilots: Cold, steely eyed, weapons systems managers who kill bad people and break things. However, they can also be very charming and personable. The average Fighter Pilot, despite sometimes having a swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else. Words of Wisdom From Aviators: · Flying is a hard way to earn an easy living. · Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the airplane; the pessimist, the parachute. If helicopters are so safe, how come there are no vintage helicopter fly-ins? Death is just nature's way of telling you to watch your airspeed. Real planes use only a single stick to fly. This is why bulldozers and helicopters­ ...

    Old Planes, Old Fords, Old People Before starters, most planes were propped by hand until this starter, mounted on a Model "T" was invented.

Really interesting, and I believe few, if any, know this little bit of history: Tour boats ferry people out to the USS Arizona Memorial in Hawaii every thirty minutes. We just missed a ferry and had to wait thirty minutes.. I went into a small gift shop to kill time. In the gift shop, I purchased a small book entitled, "Reflections on Pearl Harbor " by Admiral Chester Nimitz. Sunday, December ...

    Drone Pilot To Receive First Air Force Cross Medal Since Vietnam By Kimberly Motan, Associated Press   INDIAN SPRINGS, NV – An Air Force drone pilot who managed to fly his MQ-9 Reaper for 76 straight hours through multiple firefights will receive the Air Force Cross, Air Force officials confirmed today.

I've printed this map in full (legal) size and smaller (letter) sized prints. Keep in mind that this is not an official FAA or Midwest publication, but it is merely a compilation of several hand drawn reference pieces that were being used when I came to Bloomington ATCT. While I've made it as accurate as I think I can, reference to this map, and a later challenge that "I did it according to the "map"" will not stand muster with the FAA. That's my official disclaimer if the FAA ever asks me about it. I use this daily, I reference it for distances remaining for takeoff on a weekly basis so I trust it. If you have any questions about this map direct them to me. If you have any questions about operating around the airport please direct them to Kelly Serna, Tower manager. If anyone has any comments (positive/negative), concerns and anything to say about the presentation I gave, you can also direct them to Kelly. I'm sure she want's to hear h...
