Ooops - Correction by Bill Denton
No, it is you who should go to work for the NSA since your mind-reading powers are far better than mine. After all, based on absolutely zero information, you have been able to conclude that I have NOT been "shot up a few times". Would be that were the case. My primary forte is writing, which is...

Final OSH Numbers? by TaxSrv
The 100's of thousands is "user days". So if someone goes for 5 days, he counts as 5. No way there are a 1/4 of a million people at Osh at any one time. Have you ever taken a chopper ride at the peak time of day over the grounds? Have you ever seen a verified count of 100 thousand...

AirMap® 2000C by Kai Glaesner
Jay, Jim Weir rated it "Best of Show" at his forum -- but only because Jim forgot to look at the new AvMap. In the past I saw some discussion about connecting AvMap EKP's to Jeppesen FliteStar on the AvMapNavigation homepage (by the way, it works with almost every Garmin unit ;-). Does anyone...
