Good points. I usually copy all the good tips in my logbook for future
reference but with the misspelled subject line, I will have to discard
this post.

I share the good feelings that come with holidays and I with you.
Merry Christmas.

Merry non-denominational Holidays to y'all out there. Things seem a

little
quiet here so here's my year-end wrap-up.

Jeppesen plates are better because they'll get you in to a lot of

airports
when goverment plates won't work. It's because the minimums on Jepp

plates
are lower, because they're only used by really good pilots and
professionals. They could sell them at the same price as NACO plates

but
then a lot of amateurs would buy them and crash.

Personally I prefer a localizer back-course because there's less

traffic
there than on the front course, but the needle still moves backwards.

I used to be confused about Class D but then an air traffic

controller I met
in a bar explained it to me: aircraft in Class D airspace are bing
"negatively controlled," not "positively controlled" like they are in

other
kinds of airspace. He was pretty busy issuing taxi clearances into

his
scotch and soda to explain, but he told me I could find it all in the

8710.

Whenever someone asks me how dangerous flying is, I answer, "Well,

it's
safer than a lot of other hobbies, skydiving for instance."

Whenever I fly a GPS approach, I use my handheld as the primary

guidance,
that way I have the GNS-430 to fall back on in case the handheld

fails.

I simply don't trust "plastic airplanes." I didn't like Royalite when

they
started putting it in Cessnas and I don't understand why I should

feel any
better about them building the whole darn plane out of the stuff.

Next thing
you know they'll be building the damn things in China like everything

else.
And why does a new airplane cost more than a house? Computers used to

cost
$5000 and now they cost $500.

Only wimps announce crossing a runway while taxiing.

Everybody talks about pre-heating the airplane when it's cold, but I

think
pre-heating the pilot's a lot more important since most crashes are

due to
pilot errors rather than mechanicals. Used to use a thermos filled

with
coffee, but since that required pre-heating too, I switched to

brandy.

Lost in the debate over women in the cockpit is the question of what
happened to good-looking stewardesses. Who cares if they want to fly

a plane
or drive a car? It's not like we're going to let them vote or own

property.

All responses may be sent to my assistant, Dr. Sese Mabuko, chairman

of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Nigeria.

Cheers,
-cwk.

It's not a misspelling. It's a reference to an old but popular Ninetendo
Game made in Japan and not-so-carefully translated to English. I can't
remember the name of it. Anyways, at one point in the game, one of the
villans states, "All your bases are belong to us!"

Funny post, original poster!

See http://www.allyourbasearebelongtous.com/history/ for the history
of the 'All Your Base Are Belong to Us' mania.

See http://www.allyourbasearebelongtous.com/flash/ for an animated
flash clip of the game.

"allyourbasearebelongtous" has been immortalized as a cheat code in Warcraft

Perhaps it's a reference to the misspelling of 'yuor'.
