D'oh! I can't seem to type anything without offending someone.

You didn't see the smiley face?
Yes, I was just being lazy by not typing my own smiley back. Now I had
to make the effort of typing another letter instead of just typing :-)
originally. I can't win :-)

Of course you're going to be around for a long, long time yet.

Hm. For the first time since I turned 63, I felt my age last week diving
for a hot grounder over the bag that would have gone for extra bases. Ten
years ago I'd have come up with that sucker and beat the runner to the base;
all I could do this time was knock it down and keep it in the infield.

I forget what comedian I heard say this, but it's been my philosophy
too: "God put me on this planet with a finite number of heartbeats, so I
don't want to waste them exercising."

I was surprised to see the demand for presentations has gotten so large
that some talks started at 7 PM. A couple of those were quite interesting
because the put the truly fringe experimental topics at the late times.

Is that 7 AM or 7 PM???

The first forum is at 8:30 AM. I thought I kept the previous year's
AirVenture Today papers, but I must have left them at the local
aerodrome. I thought nothing ever disappeared from the Internet, but I
can't find the forum schedules from last year to verify the times. I do
remember that some started very late after the airshow. One was on the
XCOR rocket racers.

Like their web site shows...2 months, 3 weeks to go.

It doesn't catch everything and it doesn't always work (try outside of
North American "prime time" for better luck) but when it works it's
pretty cool.

We got to get some sexy

babes to generate some buzz around the grounds for your talks. Just like
those cell phone companies hire good looking people to hang around bars
with their latest gadgets in order to generate interest.

Gee, I sort of like Gail, Margy and Mary hanging around. That's "babe"
enough for me.


Spoken like a true politician. ;-)
Thanks, I needed that!!!

Margy

Amen, brother. Great looking AND they fly airplanes.

Can it get better than that?

Reminds me of the sign, I saw once:
WANTED:
Woman to be my wife who owns an airplane.
Send picture of airplane.

As for the other kind of radio, I might not even bring my handheld (w/rubber
ducky antenna) to OSH this year. Not a "must have" item, and I find I turn
it on less and less each year.

Ahem...I think MontBlack is incorrect on this point :-) Listening to
the Air Boss or the tower controllers is a must.

I didn't speak up, from fear that everyone else thought I was crazy, but I
gotta agree.

I would much rather hear the constant banter of the control tower working
it's miracles, like happens no where else, than the PA speaker trying to
fill time with inconsequential nothingness.

If you can find the air boss's frequency when the air show starts, that is
an added bonus. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.

Even if you do not listen to the control tower while wandering around, it
sure adds to the enjoyment of spending some time watching the "show" as the
rush comes in for 9/27.

Jim Weir has been providing the Air Boss frequency (among others) for
several years on his website.

I hadn't noticed that. I'll take a look.

Doesn't it change as the show progresses? At least when they are talking to
some of the different acts?
