Just checking in...how's everyone been?

Hey Jay! Sounds like you had a blast in Germany. BTW, is Paul over
at POA too? if so, can you PM me his sn there?

See you around,
Monk

Paul (aka: "Montblack") joined PofA, but (like so many) doesn't care for the
somewhat awkward interface. He doesn't hang there much.

oh well, so I wasn't worth a call ...

Sorry, I don't have any idea what part of Austria you're from -- nor do I
have a phone number. Being there just four days really restricted our
activities to the bare minimum. Next time, we'll have to set something up.

I've been there this year for my first time: I entered one entrance and
left about 15 minutes later on the other entrance, down to the subway,
headed away for a couple of stations and went to the German museum.

I really wanted to see that museum, but see above. There just wasn't time.

And what was the (new?) perspective you won or learned?

The one thing I discovered (that surprised me) was that I don't actually
hate big cities -- I hate AMERICAN-style big cities.

Because there are no American-style suburbs around Munich, everyone actually
lives in the city -- which turns it into a lively, fun, and safe place to
live. I love the scale of the place (no skyscrapers), and could truly live
in Munich without any trouble -- well, except for my 7th-grade German.

Sadly, the lack of GA in Germany would kill me. Markus gave us a good
primer of what it's like to fly in Germany, and it was truly depressing.
Yes, it's possible to own and fly your own plane, but the hassle level (and
costs) are truly breathtaking.

I'm on Maintenance Bay over there, Jay, and haven't seen you at all. What
forum do you populate?

All of them but the Spin Zone. I swore off that place early on, after
observing that it seemed to be like fly paper that attracted all the trolls.
Or, as close as one can get to being a troll in a moderated group. (Of
course, that's the wisdom of having a "Spin Zone" -- it concentrates all the
acid in one vat, leaving the rest of the site relatively free and clear to
discuss aviation.)

With the wide(r) variety of posts at PofA, I'm more a reader there than a
writer, but I still post a few times per week.

Shoot me one too, if you would. I could not get excited over at POA, but
perhaps the new circle of friends would work for me. I ought to give it a
try and see, perhaps.

I think the procedure is that each of us is supposed to email Dudley, for
inclusion in this august group.

Right, Dud?

Hi Jay. Good to hear from you. I'm still lurking here, but not getting
much out of it anymore. I browsed
around on POA a few times, but do most of my aviation reading on the CPA
forums now. I hope to get
back to Oshkosh next summer, so keep in touch.

Sounds good.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there will still be an "Oshkosh" next
year -- as well as our hotel. If business keeps declining (okay, crashing)
at the rate its been going down since September, we'll all be selling apples
on street corners by next July...

Take out the obvious capital junk from my return e-maill address.

Jim;

If you'd like to give the email loop a try send me off a little bit
about yourself and I'll forward it out as an introduction to the group
and include your name on the list.

That's about it I guess. I'm just a starting point. All I do is ask
interested parties to email me a bit about themselves, then I forward
that out to the group at large. Barring no threats to from the members
to withhold my Jack Daniel's from me for allowing someone in, that's
pretty much it. The name goes in the address book of everybody in the
group and from then on, it's totally freestyle. Anybody can email
anyone or all the group or just lurk if they like. The ONLY objective
of the group is for interested aviation people who might have known
about each other on Usenet and got along well before the mess to get
to know each other a bit better in a friendly back channel email loop.
Working just fine so far. Everybody's happy with it.
