Stupid transponder question, or, stumped by the wife by John Kirksey
So we were watching "Seconds From Disaster" on NGC last night, which happened to be on AA 77. When they mentioned that seconds after gaining control of the aircraft the hijackers turned off the transponder (along with a brief explanation of what the transponder does), my wife simply says: "That's...

First Date by Jay Honeck
This morning, while working out together, my 15 year old son asked (out of the clear blue sky) if he can take a friend flying next week. Absentmindedly, I reply "Sure -- what's the guys name?" -- to which my son replied "Anna..." Yikes! His first date with a girl, and he wants to take her flying...
